Yes, maybe. Not a priority at the moment... modding is like an addiction though isn't it? Once you have got your latest mod, you just want the next bigger mod, and the next bigger mod.... :cry:

Ahem!

I'm wanting even more power now! :D :cry: I was just losing on him very slowly. :( So i want to beat him now.... ;)

Great pictures buddy. Definitely a trip I want to do in the future (even the wife says she fancies doing it too!) Who is driving your car in some of the pictures?

well if you want to tag along with us little lot next year we can make space;)

That would be my good friend terry who has the still very poorly supercharged VR6 hence he was in mine!

Looks awesome dude, and the weather looks spot on! How far is it there and back?

weather was great a tad hot if im honest hit 37degrees!! total millage was 951.9 miles which included the 8 laps of the ring (13miles a lap)!

amazing mate, who you go with? bit of a convoy?

was it an expensive trip?

i went with a friends forum the french sports car club. there was a convoy of 9 cars!! i think it worked out about £500 per car for the whole trip (ferry, fuel, hotel, food etc)

Nice one. You can wear your 'Ring sticker with pride now also! Is it true you can't just turn up and do it, you have to be part of an organised trip and they only let you go at a certain time of year?

Yep i have a new ring sticker for the boot as well now!

that is not true you can just rock up a race so to speak providing the track is open. the track does have opening times which change round the year and also if there is an event or something going on so check before you go!

i wanna go :( i know i'd kill my car though

just go and take it easy and you will be fine!
