New Toyo 888s arrived this weekend. 225x45 x16 this time.
I have a 2 hour session on the 13th to bed em in. With luck. A new size to me, so i will let you know how they go.

Coupe is still bloody fast since the work in the spring. But its thirsty on full boost 1.35 set. FCP.

I am looking forward to letting her rip at spa.

The power seems endless to be honest.

Don't know ask Joe aka CountryCrusing

I shall check the oil and water as usual and that's about it hopefully. It already has the club stuff in the boot.

Oh yes, make sure I have peoples' tickets with me.

Saw the coupe today pondman. Very tidy motor! Im sorted! Just need to sort brothers coupe

I shall be getting a hair cut and going on a crash diet so I can fit into Begbies seats....

Really looking forward to it even though I won't be driving. It'll be nice to give the R32 a decent run there and back

I'll gliptone my seats

I've pumped up my tyres so i'm ready to go .

I've bought some new rubber, so consumables ready to roll.

Just the MOT to sort and she's good to go

After Knockhill the other nicht I definitely need better pads. Ordering Carbotech X8s tomorrow.

These questions have no doubt been asked already so apologies.

Do we need to book Parade laps in Advance?

Do we need to Book Scuderia in Advance or can we do at track.

Anybody doing the rally, Italian Lunch?

Parade laps are part of the package but Scuderia laps you can get at the track and I'm not doing the rally .

There some space in our van if anyone needs some cheap digs for the weekend.

Im going in my brother's coupe now

what's up with yours Reubs ?

Few suspension items to be done and alittle problematic with sensor etc of late.
I am also out of work ATM so funds are tight so make sense for me and bro to take one motor. Split fuel, ferry etc.

So my ticket will be available if Pete doesn't have someone inline for it.

Gutted as I would rather be in my own car just just wrong timing.

Either way I am going still without a doubt!

Thanks Reuben, it will look even tidier when Joe has worked his magic upon it

i don't plan on driving on the circut with the coupe but i do plan on stopping by and saying hello to you guy's but not sure i'll be allowed in or near you guy's... any thoughts on this?

There won't be a problem, the paddock is open to all visitors. Look forward to meeting you.

Pete I wondered if you'd already sent out Lego's and my tickets?

Nope, not received them yet.

When they arrive I will let everyone know on this thread.

Ok

Our ferry tickets are taking their time too.

I have just received our tickets.

From the serial numbers ours were the first to go out.

I will be sending out the car ticket + 1 participant wristband + 1 guest wristband together with a copy of the damage waiver and if I can find it an English translation I did a while back of the meaning of various track signals.

To collect your track passes you will have to go to the track office together with a completed waiver form.
It can be a bit of a scrum, in the past I used to do that bit of it.

I will be taking tickets to the club AGM for the following people.

McMike
Sedicivalvole
Nismo
Coupedummy's brother via CD.

If any other SpaItalia participants plan on going to the AGM tomorrow, please let me know before 10pm tonight.

I will replace my rear brakes next week, and then I will go to Paris and Spa, and Ring!

PeteP, how can I receive my tickets?
Can you give me them at Spa?

Does anyone want to have italian lunch?
I am so curious, I am italian

Hi all the breathalyser kit is still needed in France as I travel in the EU a lot and don't forget the spare bulb kit , 1st aid kit , breakdown triangle , GB badge if isn't on your reg plate as they are keen if they seen you. Been stopped a lot in the past couple off weeks.

Hi Gimmo, I can either post them to you or give them to you at Spa. If you are going to Paris first it may be better to give them to you at Spa.

Where will you be staying?

All tickets for UK resident participants have been sent 1st class post this afternoon except those which I will be handing over personally.

Tickets for continental participants will be posted airmail in the morning.

Thanks Pete.

For you experienced chappies and chappesses does this sound about right?
