Great write up, looks like you had a lot of fun

Slightly off topic but does anyone know where you can get these stickers (without GTROC on them), looked on ebay but nothing there apart from Nurburgring which i already have

I would think that any decent decal/sign place would be able to replicate them... would be able to customise them to your own taste too I'd have thought, SIDC, S'Net, Wagon Squadron etc etc.

Cheers,

Great read m8 Excellent as always!

Just wondered why Mark Viduka was with u tho

I'll have to rip Ian next time I see him, but you are right he does look like Viduka

We had a great time over at the ring too, excellent weather. Never seen any of you over there but seen CAL's car sitting just down the car park from us.

You maybe remember seeing biker's with yellow T shirts on??

Pic's from our trip can be seen here: http://www.mcmc.org.uk/modules.php?name=Fo...&highlight=

One of me and suz doing the 'RING'

Really enjoyed it this year but would still like to take the scoob round the 'RING' sometime

Continued?!?!? C'mon Cal

Final two days pictures and narratives now added

I always enjoy writing these as one year on it will serve as a nice little reminder for me.

Also, many of you shall no doubt never go so you can get a feel for what it's like...........

But the question remains...............

....................................who's up for 2009 then ?

Brilliant write up cal

Some total car porn there. Should be marked as ' not safe for work'

[~ ~ Cal ~~]

The self-inflicted shoeing has started... really wish I'd have been there mate, I say it every year, but I've seriously gotta get my finger out and set aside time/money for the next time.

Cheers,

Grant

Allow me the liberty of regurgitating this prime jackanory of a thread folks ...........

Has anyone any plans to hit The Ring in 2009 - I single out G-unit above but the Chinese 500 has also mentioned such a mission too......

Will we ever get a Scottish Scoobies - Spa - Ring tour going on or has the Credit Crunch nailed the door shut ?

The decision is yours .....

will need to work out dates etc, been itching to hit SPA since i was there for the F1, wot a bloody track!

[ANDYJDMSTI]

Would not mind "stretching the legs" of the pocket rocket when i have it.

[eck]

Woudn't mind pitching in as a co-pilot if anybody requires one

Id be up for that but i dont fancy the trip pulling the car over there on a trailer

[WUZ]

Been in contact with a few Car haulage firms that gave pretty good prices to haul 7 cars over on a transporter and do other pickups, etc whilst we were on track and then pick up us and take us home. Worked out at about 430-440 per car.

Not bad when you consider the cost of fuel there and back is 250-300- for each car.

But 1/2 the fun is the Autobahn @ 170+ (ask Ali37 - he'll tell you how much of a buzz it is!)

simple, transporters take our cars to Spa where they meet us, they head off to the ring while we do our thing at spa:) we drive to the ring (autobhan fun time) , we do our buisness at the ring and put our cars on the transporters there before heading home
