Looks like i will be missing the Essex night out on Thursday,
Car had to be taken to VW today water pump sprung a leak and DSG oil filter housing split and leaking oil furious
Parts are in tomorrow but the front end has to come off to fit the water pump !!
So looks like i will be travelling straight to Dover Friday morn and getting there about Dinner time,
The bad luck continues for us all ! not the best start to the season,
See You Friday,
Shaun you can have my grub on Thurs night smile
Hope it all gets sorted in the morning Neil. Don't despair we are having our evening meal in Essex before we depart for Dover so as long as you are down this way by then, you can partake in fine fayre too
Yes looks like i will miss the Essex eatery session, i will make up for it in Dover on Friday swilled down with a few Amber Nectars smile
Well if you can get to us by 7 ish on Friday, let us know...
Steve,
I Will be there dinner time Friday one way or another, even if i have to bring the wifes Cooper S smile
Ha Hah... That's the answer we wanted to hear... nice one !

Steve, if Neil makes it for dinner time we'll just stay in 8Ball from breakfast then order 2 further 'Top Fuels' for lunch plus whatever you two are having..........

Thinking before recouperation period perhaps catch a film with 10'000 n Revel chasers then meet up with rest of lads?

Not forgetting the Cimema don't sell Revels we'll have to out source nearby before entry...

Absolumon...

Top spec, the next two days are crucial n determine if we leave the country for Ring n Spa, not that I don't want go, not certain we'll fit on the Ferry... or let us on for that matter if they did we maybe stringently placed aech side of the ship dependant on sea swell n rough crossing

However, it's a risk i'm prepared to take! see ye at 4 n San at 6, perhaps double up & see another Film tonite dependent on Revel n 10'000 availability, a 2 day attendance may drain stocks... a ban could ensue!!!

Oh man I'm understanding your pain..... Life seems such a dismal boring mixture of unexciting routine after a trip like that !

Wasn't expecting the opportunity to do another this year but now rethinking my position, wouldn't mind trying to tie in Zandvort or whatever it's called also......

At least I've got a weekends racing to look forward to at the end of the month, that'll keep me going for a couple of weeks..... I need to take up somthing cheaper n easier like tiddlywinks :-(

Me too, super despondent since back, can't wait till October...

San visit next week is only a temporary measure but welcomed.

Always wanted to do Zandvoort used to be F1 track upto mid 80's, gonna check Bookatrack for dates with hopefully Ring cameo thrown in. One day at Ring is no good 3 days at least to allow for rolling black vans.

World class tumble yet no damage to armco but 10K clean up bill for Marmite spillage out of their hamper.....smile
