Welcome first off Had to laugh at the luggage part of the video You can fit a bag in the S2K but where do you put the roof when out and about Pop it behind a hedge somewhere? Just remember to go back for it

I mucho wanto oneo Group buy?

That's wise, but my dad said " Get ta f*ck out and find your own house to drive"

After two glorious trips around Europe in my RX8 over the last couple of years, last years trip had the goal of getting through the Stelvio pass. Took a leisurely but fun "hoon" through Spain, the South of France up into Lake Como. Going from there up to Stelvio and reaching the more demanding climb, the handling of the 8 was great, but the lack of torque was dire That made my mind up, a new sports car was needed. You just can't get a four seat, four door sports car with the same practicality and handling as an 8, so I decided to go for a two seater. Then I remembered a little "play" I had with a 350z owner a few years back, he could match the 8 in the twisties (must have been a very good driver as the 8 is a superb handling car), but when a straight came into view, I was left for dead So I had a look at the usual suspects, BMW Z4, Caymen S, Audi TT and the 370Z. Unfortunately my pockets couldn't reach deep enough for the options list on the Audi and BMW with the Caymen, I just couldn't afford new. Test drove both the manual GT and the 7sp auto box versions and was intoxicated by the power delivery in all gears (well maybe not 6th ), that was it, put the deposit down a got a brand new, in the wrapper Ebisu Black GT with the Connect system and a few other extras thrown in Not as practical as the old 8 but ticked all the other boxes Happy as a sandboy now

Barstewards As a former 8 owner, I can guess how he feels at the moment Hope it gets resolved soon.

No harm in signing, done I'll post on RX8 OC

Ok just another update. If anyone that's booked is thinking of going to the visit day on Friday the 8th, it starts at 1pm, before that though I will need your car details, model, colour, names of drivers, passangers and any children under 18. Please do this by PM thanks. Neil, your sorted mate

Not surprised you get attention, great looking car there mate

I love calling mine a Fat Datsun Usually when someone I overhear comments on the gorgeous 370 in the carpark, "Oh that's my Fat Datsun" Oh and my wife married me coz I've got big tits as well But I must say, you show us yours and I'll show ya mine The X5 driver is maybe a wee tad jealous because for him Ze War Is Now Over, he's capitulated, relegated to everyone thinking he's a w*nker, who doesn't think ALL X5 drivers are dicksplashes

Ok folks for peeps that haven't registered, this event as far as track time is concerned is now full Anyone can tip up on the day though, for a visit, just e mail the link in my sig with your details for a pass

The Vignette is around 30 euros, it runs from from Jan 1st to Dec 31st, doesn't matter when you buy it, they all expire on 31st Dec. Look on ebay, some folks chance not putting it on and sell when they return to the UK. At Lake Maggiore, halfs in Swtzerland, halfs in Italy, you will get pinged by the Swiss if you haven't got a Vignette. Stelvio is not far from Maggiore. Monaco is allright but it'll be heaving in July, I'd give it a miss. The Gorge du Verdun is worth doing, there's an article in this months TG mag, where part of the route with the new Masserati was there, been there myself, truly awesome Spare bulbs is another requirement, as well as a warning triangle, some countries you need two. Take care and have fun

Well you can't argue with those prices and it's in a beautiful part of the country, maybe the whiff of Buckie will attract them , although Viki and Pauli are going so it is a bit downmarket

Suppose I'll need to bring the Champers then Sounds great Martin, you're doing an excellent job

Ooh no , although in saying that, if it's all that's left But I get equally as messy on a large range of malts, particularly Ardbeg , red wine Prosseco and Chamfast, a cocktail of champagne and Buckfast

Me too

I might just have something arranged, a sort of mini wrap, not so much 50cents, more nickel and dime

That's the puppies plums mate It'll look great at Valley next month, very professional looking in a racing driver/car type way, now I must resist fettling a wrap of some kind Can't wait to see it in the flesh

Just a another bump on this, can all those that have registered and confirmed (sent payment), update their status please. And if anyone else that is traveling from Scotland or the North of England on the Friday, want to meet up for a convoy, please let me know. Neil and myself are travelling on the Friday 1. The G Man (Booked, arriving Friday, Travelodge Holyhead) 2. Wasso 3. Neilp (Booked, arriving Friday, Travelodge Holyhead) 4. remould 5. GT4 Zed 6. Was8v (Booked) 7. |chris| (Booked?)

Paid £1.42/ltr in Skye on Monday The road back home through Kintail and Glencoe was worth it though

Unless the car is getting some limiter kissing it still might not clear it out. My other car is like that. He says he isn't using water. Isn't black fuel problems and blue oil problems. Also I've never heard of injectors needing re calibrated how do you mean? Does that mean cleaned and checked. Black deffo oil, blue fuel It's not that common on modern injection systems but these days it'll be done by computer/plug in to re-set injectors/remap fuel injection. Like any metal, injector nozzles are subject to wear, and with some people putting fuel additives and other detergents in their fuel systems can cause a minor defect over time, more common on diesels but can happen on petrol vehicles, but essentially yes, cleaned and flow rate checked. As you've said I don't think this guy has any problem and it's likely to be cold/condensation being "burned" off.
