I suppose it depends if we want to head down on the Thursday night and get a Travel inn or something?

Well I was really, really looking forward to doing the Worthersee show first and the ring on the way back  :sad1:

Thing now is that I managed to really scare myself the other day, whilst havin a quick blast around some local B roads in the middle of nowhere.
I could never really see just what you all meant when you said the 312's are total plop..... but now I do.  :jumping: Sure they are great around town, but at speed, forget it.

There is NOOOO way they would last round the ring without fading pretty much straight away.

So if I manage to get the brakes beefed up and still have enough for the trip I will also be attending.

.......anyone else going with crap brakes???  :ashamed:

I went the first time with standard brakes and the second with uprated pads. No real problems on either as long as you drive within the car's capabilities.  :happy2:
