19 days if you leave home on Thursday for the journey.

Far from ready but in Joe's capable hands armed with a list..how about you lot?Time is ticking...

Last year my car came out from the paint sprayers the day before we left along with joe doing loadsa repairs on the last day!

Didn't you leave all your documents at home too and had to go back for them?

My car is as ready as it'll ever be.

Its the last week that's going to be frantic, when getting everything in the car, going through the checklist, etc, etc.

Oh yes i did....from mine,west brom to birmingham,to jbt in Loughborough...back home then down to ashford....passport and paperwork left on the side at home..lol

Fingers crossed everyone gets good to go with no drops out as im sure it will be a great event this year...

mines no where near ready.

still got a list that i may complete today

I'm just wondering how i'm going to fit my track tyres and my purple jumpers in

Mike, i had the same problem, ive decided to wear my purple jumper and line my seats with the jumpers just incase

Car is going to be at motormech on the 27th to have parts fitted etc.

She'll then be ready, got curborough before that though to finish off the tyres and brake pads

How's the car going rueb?

Not great....new heart..

Just back from Joe's this afternoon. New wishbones, drop-links and top mounts. Had the tracking done too, which means that mechanically the car is now actually ready Still got to replace the number plates for Euro ones though.

Saw yours at Joe's Reuben - looks very sad at the moment sat there on space-savers

James

It does doesnt it....just need some white wall tyres now...

Mine is pretty much ready, will be even more ready after a trip to Joe's next week, and newly powder coated rims

Reuben your car does look a bit sorry for itself, but underneath the Herefordshre dust, there is a very nice motor!

Cheers mate,shes ina very different state since last year...seems joe is going to be extremly busy before spa...

Wow today was long.com

Managed to fit my new spark plugs, new fuel filter, clean my KnN, new front wipers, new rear wiper.
Also checked the car over, adjusted boost pipes, checked my NRV (all good) looked over the car in generall and I'm Happy!!

Last things left to do are...

Oil change before spa
4 wheel alignment
Fit bucket seat + harness
Finish off adjusting the doors

So happy my list is nearly sorted!

9 days till spa....

i have a few little niggles,driveshaft leak and brake bind.But otherwise the coupe is very nearly there.

My car is still with Leighton. Should have it back next Wednesday

Woooo like me last year...got my car back from respray the day before with a trip for joe to work on it..good luck dude.

Readyish.

New shoes all round tonight after work, over to see Flea on monday (again) as after Joe did the cambelt, the exhaust cam was 1-2 teeth out, so now map is out of sync FFS

After that, short of an unexpected hurricane strike in Norfolk, or a random meteor shower on my drive, I cannot think of anything else that can possibly go wrong with the f****** thing.

*didnt word that very well - exhaust cam WAS out, before Joe did cambelt. Now as it should be, so map is out of sync*

Just a brake fluid change for me. And of course bottle up the hooch for the camper's.

just picked mine up from JBT and it's driving well - however i have a slowish puncture, need tax and other tyres ideally and is going to Flea on Saturday so it's all a bit tight.

car isn't looking so well as one lip needs re-alignment BUT - i'm so looking forward to this now assuming it survives it's bristol trip which it hasn't always done.....

Too many ,'s Matt

Cam timing was out 1 tooth, now correct after fitting a new belt so the map needs checking.

I'm just going out for a test drive in the Vincy so I'm 99% done, unsure on Claire's with the 2.4 as I haven't heard off Flea yet.

No news is good news i think joe...

That's what I'm hoping Reuben

Back in an hour, just going for a steady test drive

Well hopefully i'm picking my coop up from JBT tomorrow after it being there for over 4 weeks............ and it still needs a flea map ideally! Hopefully it will all come together!!

Fleas busy time of the year....the weeks leading to spa..

What he said

Got to pick up the car from JBT on saturday, then need to put 4 new boots on!

Got to find a campsite for the thursday night too, might of found one only 7 miles from the travel lodge everyone is in!

travel lodge? your camping in ashford? expect to wake up with no belongings, no car and.....no tent

Me and my mate Jonny are staying at the Holiday Inn at Folkstone Eurotunnel Terminal if the Ashford hotel is full!? Think the room was £50.

Nick

Mines not even mapped yet after the full rebuild yet again,so cutting it a little close as usual.But at least its running so better than this time last year.
At Fleas tomorrow so fingers crossed.

PHEW!! Just confirmed my tyres order with Camskill. I've got the last 4 Federal 595rsr's of any profile in 16's (50 profile). £345 delivered, bargain if they're as good as they're being touted on t'interweb.

Close...
