S Club Euro Tour 2014

[Top Gear TVR]

Longers. Can I bring this?

It'll fit behind TreVoR, I am sure it will. Although 100 clearly will not be enough!

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.

Yep I realise that this is for the S Club but I was having an email chat with Andrej and he suggested it may be worth a visit so I started looking to find more info about the event and there was your posting so I thought I would see if you lot would put up with me. I still have to square it away at home hence the tentative but if I am allowed out to play could I join you?

Currently I have an empty seat and am happy to share a room if someone is looking for a cost effective way of getting there, assuming I can get there. If so it will be the first Euro trip with the car hopefully run in and mapped after the 4.7 engine upgrade, gearbox upgrade, diff and driveshaft upgrades so she should provide a bit of fun;-)

I see it's still got the Dutch plates from when it was delivered here. Would look better behind a Dutch registered S. Anyone able to think of one

No problem Martin, I was only pulling your leg (which is why I made the change to "S"erbera in the list )
This trip will be a good shakedown for you before hitting the Mulsanne straight at the Le Mans Classic With you there at least Liam and his recently breathed on Chimaera will have someone to "play with" on the Autobahn...

[Top Gear TVR]

Its a german LOOKING plate……….but I wonder what kind of car pulls it normally?

[Longers]

Top Gear TVR said:

Oh yeah... it was the NL sticker which confused me!

[Top Gear TVR]

Wifey bought me the plate for xmas last year and I was surprised / chuffed…..

then i noticed the other way of reading it!

i so felt one!

what do we know about the bosch track?

It has some banked curves is all I know, very fast I think.

Video of a slow lap can be seen here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMd4VRVOO1A

It seems there are multiple tracks, as Andrej mentioned to me about banked corners I guess we get access to the high speed oval.

Ian, I know.

It does sound like a brilliant trip just hope I can make it.

Liam's Chim, tell me more:-)

I have added my name to the list

Cheers

Ok, I will bring a detachable towing hook and lets try the topspeed on the Bosch track while slipstreaming behind a few S-es ;-)

Those that know me well will be quick to tell you that my technical knowledge is... er... um... rather limited! I know the car spent some time at V8 Developments. Last time I spoke to Liam he did explain what they had done but to be honest it didn't make a lot of sense to me! I'm sure he said his 4.5 is now pushing out more powah than a 5.0....

Chris Willy sent me this link last week. Wrong cars (still rather nice though) but right place...

We've gotta get a shot like this...



Here's the website... http://www.bosch-boxberg.de/en/start/track.html You can hover over the photo or the text under the "Our offer" section to see what is where.

Working on it. I'd normally get all the costs sorted before starting the topic but, as you can see by the reaction so far, people were keen to find out the plan sooner rather than later.

I'll have the hotels sorted soon and the TVRiders will firm up the Bosch arrangements hopefully by the end of January

Sounds like an episode of Top Gear. Please make sure I am IN FRONT of you before the caravan falls apart
