i am off to the ring with my mate and my brother and his forum colleagues(he has a tuned celica 190 running approx 200bhp) on the above dates,so if you fancy joining me in battering a few jap coupes around the ring feel free,we are travelling from dover to dunkerque on the 17th june at 10am and coming back on the ferry on the 20th at 6pm so just a long weekend,we will be camping at camping am nurburgring to keep costs down,and will be building GIANT bonfires and generally having fun getting drunk around the bbq in the evenings.
open to all who wish to come along.

Sounds like a good weekend mate,
I could be well up for that and it means I got time to get the car up together.

youre more than welcome to join us mate,the ferry gets more expensive the closer you get to the date though,im already booked on it.

this is next week,if anyone is there feel free to say hi,ill be in the blitz blue 16vt with a black decepticon sticker on the boot (its not a permanent thing,just a little joke by me and my mate running his golf vr6 as we are the only 2 euro cars going against all the jap stuff).

Good luck and hope it all goes well

good luck!

its a great place an you will love it!!

Had a good time despite a lot of bad weather,causing me to spin out on a particularly greasy bend,but the sun came out eventually on the saturday and allowed a few good laps to be had,here's a short video of me going past the viewing point,i'm loving the flames on gearchange!

and yes,ill get the video of me spinning out online as well lol,im not proud.just need to edit it down to a manageable size.its an outside video shot from my mates golf vr6 so you can see the conditions.

Very jealous! But what on earth were you doing letting that beemer pass?

locals in a beemer are NOT to be messed with lol,i just go for a good time,not remotely interested in times,just want to push it as far as i feel comfortable with,i have to drive it 500 miles home afterwards,and the mrs is in the car too,she isnt as replaceable as the car lol.

I noticed your other video for the micro camera, where did you get this from?

i got the camera from staples,it was 60 quid.
this is the one.

can i not embed these?grrr

Looking good Greig. I take it there's a fair bit of my old 16vt lapping the ring?!

Dan,yup lol,your exhaust,alternator,radiator and not forgetting the wing mirror!!

Excellent, that pleases me to hear it's still alive in small pieces, and being enjoyed!

Your 16vt looks very tidy indeed in that pic.

Cheers mate,i do try,its got a few little marks here and there but i keep her polished and waxed as much as possible,even got the clay bar on it last week!but it is my daily so its used as well.

What's the condition of your petrol cap?

its not too bad,although its coming off soon to be painted black,which is kind of the theme on the whole car,black and blue.although the cap got a LOT of use over the weekend lol.

still shot,flames,loving it

Snapshot 2 (21-06-2011 20-45) by Greig Western, on Flickr

As promised,video footage of my spin,taken from inside my mates tuned mk3 golf vr6,you can see how wet the track is,started to slide then it just snapped around on me,later lowered the tyre pressures and was all well.
