Problem after problem...its is seriously bad!

Cammed_vtr is going back to England after his tank failed again
Cloud and Landy are lost in Holland somewhere
C8james has broken down with a snapped CV joint....

We are somewhere in Belgium/Deutschland border waiting for the next disaster to happen!

Hopefully things will now improve!

We are now sat outside some hotel like lemons waiting for the keys and directions to the house we are staying in lol!

MikeCracknell
5th May 2007, 01:04
C8James' car is being taken to a local garage in Belgium, they are being put up in a hotel for the night.....the driver who is taking them there speaks no English at all......the poor people!

furioAL
5th May 2007, 01:08
Feel very sorry for C8James!

Least you are there now i guess! Once you finally get your keys you can relax and get some kip! Hardly seems worth the effort if your not actually taking suki for a spin on the ring :p

Hope tomorrow brings more luck for all of you :y:

Alex

MikeCracknell
5th May 2007, 01:54
We are at the house now, and after some stunning roads winding 180 degrees back in themselves etc etc, the house is utteryl stunning!

Les hope our luck changes soon!

Suki's door now won't stay open cos the rod thing that holds it open has pushed itself through now, so it just swings shut!

furioAL
5th May 2007, 17:32
He is back at the rented house... he isn't coming home yet....

He has a datacard in his laptop, but he gets charged an absolute fortune for using the net abroad.. so he only comes on in little bits...

Knowing Mike it will take about a month before the pictures appear ;)

MikeCracknell
5th May 2007, 23:13
Oh dear oh dear.....

Everyone except me is wankered, the German porn channels are on every TV in the house lol, and beer is flowing in large amounts!

We are staying in a RENTED HOUSE and that is where I am still, until Monday morning when the Autobahn & Autoroute journey home begins!

As for the film footage - landy somarsulting down a slide in a childrens playground, DSH and his ironing techniques, mattc being wrecked, th steaks that were "well cooked" that left a palte full of blood....there is loads more...

That news might come as a bit of a shock to people like adsayer:
Video linky ;) (http://www.michael-cracknell.co.uk/sayer.wmv)
*mike made me post it :p*

Think they are doing it again later on! So keep your eyes posted on the webcam!

They are heading back on monday.. and Mike will stick some pictures up in this thread when then are on the ferry on the way home...

Alex

glad our lads made it round :)

did suki not go round?

furioAL
6th May 2007, 11:52
No, Mike refuses to take suki round... he is overprotective of her... and just went on the trip for the experience really...

I guess least after all the trouble they had getting there they actually got to around it once before it closed :y: and glad the sax-p bunch managed to get round it safely... :)

Alex

Mrk1
6th May 2007, 12:12

Nurburgring the Movie will have a trailer within a few days - the full thing will prob be an hour or so, and will take about 2 weeks to make...PLEASE be patient!

See Events Photos section for pics too....

As for Sigs/Avatars - well, "The Rabbit" is all I will say about that!

We had the most amazing time, everyone got on really well, and as always it was good to meet new people.

My most memorable bit was definately the horrendous journey down and that is still on going....

C8James and his wife's Saxo won't be ready for them to pick up until the end of the week - they have had to FLY back today - I really feel awful for them!

Feel sorry for you Chris having all that bad luck, but least you still enjoyed it.

The last hour of my journey was mad, I nearly fell asleep myself and when there is just one in car, it was slightly hard! It was an awesome weekend though, everybody got on, we had great laughs and such a good time. Thanks to the Leckster for organsing it all, everything was smooth and was well planned.

I have left rep for everyone that I can leave it for that attended.

Downhill braking so catches a lot of people out. Great place to view from. Ex-Mule, the next corner is mega uphill and good fun too, though you really need about 400bhp to enjoy it properly I hear

Yes thats our thoughts too. We will take venga bus and car trailer with more tools.
When the recovery bloke turned up we asked hime to take car to the hotel for us like it says we can in our contrack. He said he will take it to a local garage and when we asked which one he said "mine".
They quoted us 350 euros to supply and fit a factors driveshaft. I have rung our local factor and they quoted 68 includeing vat. I feel like i have had my pants pulled down and spanked.
