Easy Brett,

Good to see you on here. Hope all is well.

Still have fond memories of sorting @Ricardo's R19 in your barn all those years ago.

Hey Mart how the devil are you? That was a long long time ago.

 

[Mart]

All good, thanks mate. Hope you are too.

Yeah, must be around the same time as that Ring trip, if not maybe the year before? The years have flown by.

I've still got a gtt (think I bought it not long after that Ring trip, coincidentally enough) albeit looking to move it on now.

Great to hear that you still have a 5. Do you still take on track? It's so much harder to find time once the little ones come along.

 

[Mart]

Still do trackdays, but not/never in this 5. After the Raider/Trusty/T-cup, I then had an Evo6 for track stuff, then a Meg' 225, and now a 250.

Haha, yeah, 2 little munchkins this way take up my time these days, and rightly so of course The days of 'Think I'll head over to the Ring this weekend' are long gone - Now it's a 6 month plan of attack

 

[Duncan Grier]

Ha! Like Mart but with 3 boys my way and more like a 6 year plan of attack

I feel you both. Between Henry's football, cubs and Holly's dancing, football & beavers id probably need a year to plan As Mart said: rightly so they are definitely my greatest achievement in life

As if owning a Fiat 500 wasn't achievement enough I hear you say

 

[DaveL485]

Nice. Actually we do still own a Renault Turbo in the house. Unfortunately it's a 0.9 Craptur

To be fair, these aint bad little runaround cars, I've handled a few and ended up buying my daughter one to learn to drive in

Enjoy it while you can D! They grow up way too fast, mine are 15 & 17 now and my time is slowly returning back to Adult things haha

WHAT a trip that was…! Trying to put Fail Dale’s fluid back into his car as it decided to let go just as we arrived at the Nurburgring in the car park that’s now the Ringworks/Lindner Hotel!

 

[Chris Smith]

Certainly was a good trip… maybe something to plan for 2027… as many of the original crew to go back.

You're not new Brett #dontgripmyshit

Really good to see you on the line fella

I remember the look on the person's face when I said that. It's a well known military phrase I'll have you know

I remember the german biker having a go at me about the coolant from my charge cooler leaking on track. He wouldn't listen when I told him it didn't leak when it was running as it was then pressurised
