Eric thankyou SO much for clarifying the situation.

Would sorely hate to miss out on Spa after all I have read on this and other forums about it.

Cheers,

Tim

Sorted, thanks Eric.

Tim - you will love Spa I promise. After Eau Rouge, which is about the coolest bit on any circuit, it's a flat Bruntinthorpe with a few 165mph curves chucked in

Hi guys,

Just thought i'd say hello.

I met Scotty at the Nürburgring last month where he took me round in the S4.
After the lap i realised i realy needed to learn how to drive a car properly. I thought i had some car controle but after that ride with Scotty i now know i don't. (i'm only 23 btw)

The Belgian TT club had planned this trackday at SPA a few months ago but i wasn't interested at the time.
However when i got back from the ring i signed up for the event.

So i look forward to meeting you guys in 2 weeks !!

BTW: I was also hoping on catching a ride with some of you, so you can teach me how to drive properly etc. ...

I glad you enjoyed your ride at the ring. If you get a ride with these guys you'll realise [1] how mad they are & [2] how many better drivers than me there are around.

Have a good trip.

Ouick question regarding "Stone chips"

Since you guys are out on a track quite often, do you concider Stone chips as a problem ? if so is there a way to avoid them ?

thx

On the track just watch out for the loonies who fall off, then come back on spraying the <beep> everywhere coz their undertray is full. It is quite easy to find your self behind one, who still thinks its OK to keep thrashing round -my windscreen at Oulton got cracked this way

.

If you do come off into the gravel have some consideration for others - make your way back to the pits slowly and then drop your undertray (ooher missus).

Thats the great thing about RS4's - ability to haul themselves out of the deepest gravel traps without assistance

Wouldnt worry too much Himpe. As Andy says, unless you collect some gravel that has been sprayed on by someone who fancied a picnic, I cant imagine stone chipping will be a problem at a circuit like Spa, which is certain to be well maintained with a sound surface.

Googled some pictures of Eau Rouge Andy. Looks... very interesting!

Tim - Please leave you Burberry jumper at home this time

Post by **DaveP** » Sat Oct 09, 2004 7:18 pm

Post by **TimJMS** » Sat Oct 09, 2004 9:06 pm

Oi - Fatcat! Nowt wrong with Burberry... its just the unfortunate image prevalent in the UK at the mo. Johnny foreigner still thinks Burberry is well wikkid innit.

Heres an idea - Burberry baseball caps with RS246 logos on. Bound to be popular
