We are not going to Ypres as ferry beck is from Rotterdam, anyone staying saturday in Amsterdam?

My wife wants to go to Amsterdam on Saturday to have a look at some old paintings, so have booked another night in the hotel. Easy to get to Amsterdam from Zandvoort by train (about 30 mins), saves all of the trouble of moving hotels.

That's what we have done previously. Rail station is only 10mins walk from the hotel and you have the added advantage that, at the weekend, many Amsterdam locals come to Zandvoort for the day

Ill be eating at the Cricketers in Colchester on the Wednesday before boarding the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry if anyone fancies something to eat. It's got a big car park and its about half an hour from the ferry port. There's a Shell fuel station between the pub and ferry port that we will be stopping at. Aiming to be at the pub around 7pm CO3 9TG. Probably have Chill in tow but I promise to not let him bore you to death about his poxy ecu or the cost of tyres!

Probably to let their dogs sh*t on the beach. That's what happened when I lived in Scheveningen, a few years ago

When I saw last post was Batman on the Zandvoort thread I feared you'd be going to another wedding instead

Ehhh, that Dutch mobile RR guy went pretty silent and apparently he now has other priorities in August. (something with holiday and a wife...

Nice Honda'd Elise rod through the block failure at the National.

[The Batman]

what was the spec? im guessing sc?

 

i do have uprated rods

 

so im guessing i can make more damage if they go through the block

[Zoobeef]

I think it was an NA.

[The Batman]

interesting... i thought the japs built bullet proof engines considering i know people are running close to 400 on standard internals

[Zoobeef]

I don't really remember but pretty sure I would have noticed an sc!

The piston had disintegrated and I just found half a rod with the gudgeon pin still attatched sat on the undertray.

[The Batman]

nice!

I expected to see more oil splashed around. Conrod was vent with a lot of blueing at the fracture. Oil starvation?

[Zoobeef]

I checkled the dipstick and it was ok. I'm guessing the hole was quite high up the block!
