Jspec Germany Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 John, I see the timings being tight so my plan so far is: 0815hrs - Leave Salisbury 1045hrs - Arrive Maidstone services 1115hrs - leave Maidstone services (so pick this window if you want to meet up) 1145hrs - Arrive Chunnel (Or CJ's Hotel and then Chunnel) 1258hrs - Chunnel leaves Let me know if you can get to services, you will have get to Sextons early - you know how long mechical jobs can take JSpec: How much did the 320km/h speedo face cost and from where ? (ta ) 160 USD with shipping from a seller in Japan for the TRD 320 km/h speedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 CJ - When will you know for sure its a no go? Well unfortunately, it has now been confirmed that I cannot attend. I have several issues with the car that cannot be resolved within the short space of time and a long trip is just too iffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I'm out yall officially. Pissed, but that's the way life goes. The wife and I are flying out of Brussels tomorrow morning. Don't feel bad John. I just found out I have a bone displaced in my left wrist suffered during a football game 3 weeks ago. My sprained ankle has healed though *sticks out tongue*. You guys and gals have a great time and please take lots of pics and video. I'm jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need an electrical expert really, it can be done post trip. 2nd batch of cameras arrived today, got one in but again its buggering me about. I must be Mr Static. Otherwise TAZ is mechanically running SWEET !!! So I shall be going to the ball, fairy godmother ! Of course it might only be me - in my own private convoy !

Guest Soldier9 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Thank you all for a fabulous weekend, it was really great meeting you guys! I hope you had a nice trip home in spite of the rain... We'll definately come to England sometime for a meet as soon as I get my car put together. I'm looking forward to it already Oh and BTW, you really should try a repair beer sometime, I still can't believe that you don't know that concept /Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Wow, what a weekend. I've arm wrestled the Danes, I've got so many bruises over me that I have no recollection of receiving, I'm covered in bites of some sort and I managed a legal (I think!) 160mph I had a fantastic time. Michael, Kim and everyone else did a cracking job organising the meet - it was a pleasure to meet you and get extremely drunk with you. John, Vicky, Ian and Chris. I couldn't ask for better company, it was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith C Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yes, it was a great time - where do I upload the video of the Beast Of The Deep (Michael) waking up? The organisation was incredible, the meet fantastic, the people beyond brilliant - you've given us all a very enjoyable weekend! We never got your phone numbers!

Guest Soldier9 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I've sent you all a PM with my phone number and other contact info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I cant add much to the above, just repeat it and thank you again for organising it. Your welcome anytime this side of the water. All the video will be sorted this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 What a great event ! The Danish rock ! We made lots of friends, the organisation revolved round beer, cars, beer, more cars and even more beer. We even went paddling in the sea on our way to the shops ! Greetings to all our Danish friends, especially Kim and Michael (oh and Kim's sister who was almost sold for TAZ !) Keith and Faye are a gorgeous couple, despite Keith emptying his stomache on a few occasions hehe ! (Alas Faye has no sister ) John and Viccky are quite mad, poor John had injured his leg and was hobbling about like a war veteran all weekend (Good show !!) and Vicky thinks she is Yoda (very worrying but dead funny). For good measures I bought along my Monkey (Chris) who entertained us with his never ending stories. None of which were quite as graphic as Michaels (Le pooper-scooper !) after a fair few beers. I was especially pleased with my 390bhp dyno lol !! Wait till Terry finds out, he'll go nuts ! I have some repairs to do but nothing drastic, smashed yet another camera on the car and something decided to attack my intercooler - obviously at speed . So now I have about 2 hours of video to compress and edit and post on this forum so watch this space. TAZ ran well, I think we made the needle go further than the untuned engine should have gone but John was taunting me Bags of power and more to come no doubt. Johns BL61 was rapid - watch out for him and the Ferraris on his video lol ! Keith drives like a girl (ha ha !) but at least he doesn't have an auto like John !!!! (Oh Im going to Hell for that one). All drivers were well behaved and drove very professionally (Well watch the film and you be the judge ). Yes the piccies and videos will follow I am sure - for the rest of you who did not go - YOU ARE NUTS !!! THIS WAS AWESOME !! (And the girls were tasty too !!!)
