Euro Trip 2012 (R8 Factory & Ring) - April

[RSKiwi]

This trip sounds sh*t. I'm glad I'm not going.

+1 sounds so boring....

[HYFR]

Bam. Will leave at 5.15am. Will go N.circ

You in?

Ps. Bring your passport just in case

[bam_bam]

N.circ!?!? Wouldn't the M25ring be better? Where are we hooking up with the rest of the convoy?

There's zero chance of me bringing my passport, we use to take our passports out clubbing, then, invariably, at some point during the night one of us would start hyping the rest of us about getting the first train to Heathrow when the club closed. We'd all egg each other on "let's fly to spain" etc etc. On many occasions between 1999 - 2007 I've jumped on standby flights and ended up on the continent, very early on a Saturday or Sunday morning, feeling very ropey with only the clothes on my back and stuck with 5-6 other dickhead Aussies trying to get home again, an exercise akin to herding retarded cats.
Admittedly, this would be different but infinitely more tempting. The passport is staying in the safe.

Nice one. There is a light blue Jaguar XR That hides up in or around the Maidstone area (M20) it does creep up to the Met/Kent police boundary on the A20

Saw that last week with a BMW he had pulled over.

I saw a S5 unmarked police car in Lewisham yesterday too.

Would like to join this convoy and "count you out", Dave.... but I'll be with the in-laws all weekend

[PJC]

Have a safe trip one and all, and look forward to hearing your tales when you return.

[HYFR]
