Spa Mon 8th & Tues 9th September 2014

PhilT, Paul - see you at the boat!

Phil - there's a good chance Glenn will have a VCDS+laptop with him so don't sweat it if you have enough to carry already. I'm not actually sure how to do the headlights.

I'm taking a the long way back ring to Spa via Brussels in the dark, hence my query about the headlight change. Anyone handy with a VCDS or is it not worth bothering about?

I will have VCDS, will ask my friendly Audi Tech if he knows how it's done for you.

Today has been an interesting day.

Dropped my car off for a full detail just outside Rotherham & with a welcome coffee in hand I awaited the arrival of our Leader to pick me up. Quick blast back to his in the GT-R where he then decided to crash into his own garage, damaging (curbing) the front nearside wheel, fooking up the garage door frame & slicing his tyre down to the canvass.

It took me quite some time to stop laughing, but eventually i did & this then forced his hand to swap his wheels over to the track set which are shod in 888's (weather is looking good for Spa so probably a blessing in disguise). This then also lead to a brake pad change so spent most of my afternoon watching (note my lack of help) Phil swapping wheels & pads. This in itself was comical as he spotted an obvious mistake from when he changed his discs over a few weeks ago, but i'll allow him to spill the beans on that scenario.

Probably best we head off to the pub now so he can;t cause any further damage. Looking forward t setting off tomorrow in one very shiny F10 M5 & one track ready GT-R.

Safe travels gents (& Louise) & see you at Nordschleife around lunchtime on Sunday.

That would be great.

I've just found PetrolDave's link to the right page on the RossTech Wiki - he has the same AFS Xenons (the directional beam ones) so I'll bring a copy. It's linked in this post viewtopic.php?f=39&t=101716#p575382 It'll be the right one, the trick will be in the execution

Must be frustrating all this faffing

I'll just sit in my car, enter the iDrive Vehicle Settings menu & switch the lights over to Continental driving

[PJC]

Arrived safe and sound at the Rad, time for a beer me thinks.

Not everyone arrived in the same condition they left home this morning.

I will leave it up to others to tell their stories.

At the Pistenclause now. Had a great drive down, x3 V10 R8s and a UR Quattro

Needed a sick bag when we passed a GTR with pink wheels on the M20 en route to tunnel!
