there is a large concrete structure just opposite the garages , loads of room in there if you get there early.

Hmmmm. Only need to fit the suspension and reset the slammed ride height plus service the car and re-flush the brakes tomorrow.

Procrastinate, one of my favourite words that, no idea why that sprang to mind just now

[techieboy]

Yup. That's currently my chosen mode of operation. Opened the garage door, walked in, looked at the car, thought fcuk it, exited garage and now having a coffee.

[siztenboots]

lovely morning to get started

[Kieran McC]

Went to put the soft top on great cable end broke , Now got to remember how to put the hard top on , At least the ferry leaves at 11pm tonight plenty of time .😂

[siztenboots]

could anyone staying in Stavelot print out a spare LoT form

[techieboy]

I've printed a spare anyway, so it's yours if you want it. Whether I get to Stavelot before lunchtime on Monday might be a more pertinent concern.

[CocoPops]

Do you need a hand Matt?

[techieboy]

Nah. I'm okay, thanks, Lee. I don't particularly want to go, so I'm mostly looking for excuses and "immigrant action" in Coquelles is currently top of my list of reasons to hate the French, not use my car and avoid getting up at 4am (and giving the neighbours an early morning wake up call in the process). Not sure I can face taking each wheel off twenty times trying to set the ride heights properly though, so it'll probably end up at something pretty random. Almost sounds like Racing Driver Excuse #4.

You big girl! Get your arse in gear and get down to Spa!

I thought I had a spare one

[Acidpopstar]

Have a great trip people. I remain gutted I had to pull out.

 

Techie - get your fecking sh*t together and enjoy the trip while your health still allows you to have the choice!   

[PaulCP]

Anybody heard from P Cov re what time they got through and how long they were waiting?

[techieboy]

Think they finally got on a train at about midday. Hour queueing for check-in and then a couple of hours delay once they were "in".

Can't help it, trackdays just bore me and the VX just annoys me.

[P11 COV]

Journey to junction 11 was fine via A2 and back roads from Canterbury. Once at Junc 11 we were stuck on the roundabout for an hour as police shut the exit onto the motorway off. Once they let us on we got through check in in about 45 mins and then they said there was a 2 hour delay but this soon started to reduce and they put us on an earlier train anyway so we only departed 45 mins later than schedules anyway. We had allowed an extra 1.30 mins extra travel time anyway.
