....I've just spoken to Mark (VWR) and he can swop my damaged SAMCO hose back for my stock one until the SAMCO replacement arrives (I'm up at VWR again very soon for my new discs). So car will be safe.

I've also just arranged when my Interlagos can be fitted on my Recaros (the day before Inters). So car will be as it must be for Inters display.

Looking likely but I have still have a private matter to arrange before I can say yes. I'm working on it still.

Looks like I can make it :jumpmove:

But the only insurer I've found so far for The 'Ring would want £350-£450 plus 10% excess! That's a non-starter for my car on track/toll-road or 'it-matters-not-wot-u-call-it'.

So, who has the details of : -

- Travelodge, which?

- Chunnel times you've booked.

- Brussels - Husa President Park - hotel booked?

- Nurburgring 'hotel'.

Thanks :drinking:

You guys probably already know this but I've just been told at The 'Ring:

"Carry your insurance docs and driving license with you in the car (don't leave them in your hotel room), because the police are now doing spot checks in the car park. By law you have to have at least third party cover."

I confirmed it all via email then in the end Robin and they typically replied within a few hours  :smiley:

The rate on the phone was also slightly higher @ 95 euro a night for a telephone booking :chicken:

Otherwise you can always share a bed with TC  :grouphug:  :laugh: :laugh:
