As the spares vehicle?

I don't think this lot would fit in an MR-2.....

[v8s4me]

Just the one bog roll?

Barry and Jo,sorry glen

Is it because I mentioned the butt plugs?

Don't be silly Joe, the passenger footwell is stuffed full of them.
The whole lot are replaced as required at Calais, St Dizier, Baden-Baden, Stuttgart and any other convenient supply depots.

The GTS members have special needs you know

Cheers Max,
it took me ages to remember how to add myself to the list and I was removed in minutes!

Have you got reinforced bonnet hinges for this trip? we don't want another total electrical failure!

B7 grade stainless hinges fitted and a small bonnet adjustment on return from EuroTour 2013 that have survived a rather full-on TVRCC Cadwell Park Track Day and several hoons on the impeccably smooth (not) British roads so I'm hoping they should be ok; mind you I do have a spare set just in case.

Could a MR2 tag along

I don't see why not, as long as it can keep up with a squadron of fully laden S's
And as long as the MR-2 crew can keep up with the S- pilots at the bar, without falling backwards into cupboards.
We do have standards to uphold....

Any objections?
Speak now or forever hold your piece ( ? )

How come the museums are so unpopular ?

Perhaps it's because the Porsche one just has as loads of identical cars all together in one place?

I mean, how boring is that ?

The Bosch test facility is well worth a visit, went recently, found it fascinating.

Hi L'gers,

Looks like a fantastic plan. I've put my name down tentatively... Will very much depend on cost. I don't think the S2 will be coming out of the garage this year, so if I did join you it would be in *gulp* the MG Midget so I would likely be getting up at the crack of dawn for a head start!!! Not sure I'd be too fast around any sort of a track either unless I invest in a few extra cylinders

Will be thinking about it. Spend the money on fixing the car or hoon around Europe trying to keep up with a 1.25 engine...!!!

That is of course if you'd have me!!! Also have put down for a twin at the moment, but might have to drop to a single if I don't think I can actually fit in a passenger - could of course share a twin with someone else.

Apologies. That is all rather vague

Andrew

[phillpot]

Hope you, and the Midget, can make it Andrew.


Spare seat in my car if money is tight.


Can you read a map/use a sat-nav ?

No problem for the Chimera-sorry-mg.....you have a little time left to up its speed to keep up if you are worried about that...

Really kind offer Mike, thanks! I'll add it to the inevitable spreadsheet list of options when Ian lets us know prices!!!

Great video! I'll get to work on the aerodynamics and if that's not an option I'll have to make sure my driving is quicker than Sir Stirling...!!

Don't worry, I'm sure the GTS will be able to keep up with you. Just!

Tempting as it may be to tackle those Bosch curves, I would advise extreme caution.

Great response everyone, unbelievable!! Looks like I didn't need to tick the box to be notified of replies to this topic



Martin, you do realise this is an S Club trip don't you? The occasional interloper is always welcome but I've amended your spelling mistake in the list

I don't have a problem with the non-TVRs joining us, but they will have to be like the Top Gear Beetle hanging around at the back of the group

I'll check with the TVRiders about the non-TVRs taking part at Bosch.

[v8s4me]

WOW! Six months to go and already 22 cars. We're heading for a record. The "3 Nations Gathering" will now be 5 (including Hann) 6 if Maffe can make it.

[Barry S1]

I did say to Glen that I'm not going this year I only lasted about 3 hours
and caved in, and was at work for 2 1/2 hours of that
