Just keep an eye on your overseas mobile phone data use. I once had a nasty shock with this!

We made it back home a few hours ago. Had a great time. Lene's been very very good, and we had two lovely baby-sitters, enabling Joke to join on the track. Memorable moments on and off track. Some crazy fools with Uno's on the Grand Parades who had no regards whatsoever for anyone else (almost took out a couple of cars while losing control) but my wish of them getting into engine troubles was answered.

Coupe sessions were great. The hot weather was an equaliser with air temps going off the scale, meaning the other aspects of the car came into play much more. Abslutely loved the brakes on mine, Brembo Sportmax and Pagid R29s made me brake into Les Combes doing 120 right after the 100m mark. No fade whatsoever, even with regular Fiat brake fluid. Best moment track-wise however was clipping the inside curb in the lefthander between Rivage and Pouhon, getting the car in a 100m quite sideways drift doing 80. The missus only commented 'I'd didn't actually enjoy that'.

Purple jumpers and t-shirts were handed out on friday evening in an attempt to please proccy tongue - thanks to all who were wearing them during he weekend! T-shirts that is, jumpers were safely kept in the cars with temps hitting 30 the saturday.

And thanks to the French who organised a lovely dinner the saturday evening.

Wooh, what a weekend. Tired! Thanks all for coming over, thouroughly enjoyed each and every minute of the weekend.

Well me and my mate jonny have made out to or hotel in germany, ready for some alpine posses over the next couple of days! smile

Kayjay - nice to meet you and sorry my friend, jonny, freaked your daughter out so much during our Belgian Chinese dinner! smile

Once again it was an awesome weekend, with scorching weather both days! The highlight of my time on track was managing to melt my rear tyres this morning! Never done that before! (the ride in Joe's car was pretty cool too, I suppose! tongue )

right, this is taking ages to type on my phone, so thanks to everyone that turned up to make it a great a weekend, and a special mention to all the happy campers!

Ps. I'm never sleeping in a tent again. Ever.

Back home from a great weekend here as well! It was nice to see the people from last year, and met a lot of new people as well smile

Jeffrey's 16VT came home safe, but wouldn't hit 3 bar oil pressure on full boost anymore after cooking the 10W40 Elf oil on saterday's session at 140 degrees. We cut out after 3 laps on the session this morning. Were going to change oil to a bit thicker type and look for a new oil coiler and see what happens then.

Thanks everybody for the fantastic weekend!

Back in once piece - we hade some "eventful" Belgium rain on the way home!!!

What can I say? It was an absolutly fantastic weekend!
We arrived on the friday pretty early, had a nice long drive to Belgium, no traffic, open roads and the weather was amazing. Upon arrival we all settled in and the evenings events involved going out for a meal followed my a healthy drinking session in the hotel bar laugh

Day one at SPA laugh
We all got up nice and early and made our way to the track. After filling out all of the paper work and setting up the club stand we were ready!

The oganisers asked me to put my coupe on display for an hour and do an interview about the club and the car which was pretty cool!

click to enlarge
GIGGADY laugh

This was my first proper track day/weekend (curborough doesnt really count) wink I had signed up to do an hour long parade session. The minute your come out of the pits you hit eau rouge. WOW! you really dont realise how steep it is until your actually on there! I did a few slow laps and then started to get more and more confident.

I was on a high after the parade lap - then it was time for the Fiat Coupe Club Session! 30 mins of unrestricted track time. All im going to say is when we all came off the track EVERYONE had the biggest grin on their faces! Amazing is pretty much how I can sum it up!

Day two was a bit rushed in the morning, we needed to be ready at the track for 9am to do our coupe session. We all managed to get there just in time. The second (and for me final) session of the day was the best of all. Everyone was confident with the track and we all had some great fun!

It was great to see some many familiar faces there and also some new ones! The weekend was a complete sucess. Those of you who were in two minds this year, you really have to come! Even if its just as a passenger!

I will get some photos and videos up in the next few days!

What a fantastic weekend even though I didn't take my car I bloody loved it again and my highlight of the weekend was when JBT let me loose in his monster and I did the Ferrari 355 down the pit straight wow.

Big thanks too JBT for letting me come along with him.

Roll on next year.

Well that was truly an awesome weekend. The beers, the company, the cars, and of course that track.

I actually started to make myself travel sick on the Sunday morning, drifting the old girl at 90+ through the bends, what an incredible experience driving that track is.

It was great to discuss the finer points of astro-physics wink with the usual bunch of buddies, and it was great to meet some new people as well.
And not a single ginger gag or mickey take all weekend laugh cool marco beer thumb driving

roll on the AGM I say !

If anyone else is interested in a puple t or j, pm me, I'll see if there's enough interest to get a low price.
