Yea I'll be there by the looks of things... Haven't been checking on here much which I think is down to the fact that Singapore doesn't come close to meeting my octane ambitions.

Planning on driving up (hire car) and staying KLCC ish way I guess as at least it's okay for evening drinks etc.

Maybe meet up there if you guys are flying?

James

Yea driving up too, probably sneaking out / up on Thursday evening and also staying in KLCC!

Always up for a beer!

What is the Topaz section like? never wanted to spend much on that GP sp normally go for C2 hillstand (covered).

I'll have to wait until Saturday morning to head up there by the looks of things - mate has to work Friday!

its not bad, you can see the whole south section of the circuit as well as teh back strait (second half of the V - Berw will be along to tell me the correct name for that bit of teh track )

Berw said:

You can see the tunr to turn 7 to the entry to turn 15, you should have agood view of the overtaking at turn 9

yea, that's what i meant cheers

[XJSJohn]

sounds like a plan ....

i will be in KL 16th - 18th (next weekend) and 22nd to 25th, although thinking of maybe sneaking up a day earlier and pretending to work ...

then i will have just about run out of space in the passport and be trapped in Sg for 6 weeks or so

heffernj said:

Now you've reminded me about my passport almost being full! Think only 1 page left!

See my tread on the fiasco of getting the damn thing replaced - although have been put ont a fast track solution too!

Berw said:

I will be in KL the weekend of 17-18 and the GP weekend, suggest we try to have beer meet in Bukit Bingtang, what about the evening of Friday 23rd of Saturday 24th,

John if we use the Green man in Chankit, I'm fairly certain I could negotiate a dicount on the beer.

Sounds like a plan !!!

Who else?

[XJSJohn]

not sure if driving to circuit or taxi'ing, will see what teh rest of our lot are doing first - but either way, watch out for an SG registered banana yellow 370Z

Green man sounds cool too!

[XJSJohn]

It's just 964 bumpers, most of them have had this done to them, it's just normal here!

[XJSJohn]

that first one you are looking at is a bit of an animal, but a fantastic car, there is a few bits not mentioned there, like the root supercharger :devil:

Can introduce you to the guy that did the work too ..

Cool on teh GP, so maybe catch up, looks like i will be in KL from Tuesday !!

[XJSJohn]

heffernj said:

Yes sure John - that would be great thanks. I know a bit more about the 944's really and would normally prefer a C2 rather than a C4 but in this market I figured you could wait a long time for the right specs to become available... so long as the C4 is pretty rear biased then that would be fine... have to drive one and see I guess!

maybe we can do a pint over the weekend or if not then in KL on Sat.
J

sorry, missed your reply!!

Its not so difficult to turn a C4 into a C2 either, know that Andy has done that to one or two already!

I am off to KL this evening, have some work stuff to sort out up there also, so getting in early!

If any of the others fancy a beer Wed / Thurs or Friday night .... around KLCC / Bukit Bintang etc.

[XJSJohn]

Berw said:

John I am out of town on wednesday but back Thursday arive KL cente around 8 pm, or friday evening, what about the green Man on friday 7pm?

Friday 7pm at Greem Man sounds like a good plan!

See you there!

[XJSJohn]

Indeed James, probably would have worked if i had not trashed my phone under a rather large lorry whilst stumbling back to the flat on Wednesday Evening (or perhaps it was Thursday Morning, either way ..... )

Whereabouts on Topaz were you in the end, we were at the 200meter marker on the back straight before last turn (15)

Couldn't miss us the rate we were shifting the beers!!!

Defo have to have a meet up some time in Singa ....

[XJSJohn]

heffernj said:

Yep we need to organise a few drinks and a meet up here in Singapore.

you ever tried herding cats?? or nailing jelly to the wall ??



always up for a beer, although school nights are usually better for me than weekends as i usually already have a full kidney workout lined up!
