richw smd nathan 2bar boost + anyone else who fancy,s spa?

[dave1]

right fella,s the mlr date,s are up for the ring and spa anyone else fancy it?
may 3rd at the ring may 4th spa trackday

dont fancy being the only bm there :-D

[csl_mba]

Whens this happening Dave?

[SMD]

Hi dave yea should be up for it! My Bday is 9th of may but should be good! :thumbs:

[dave1]

leaving uk sat 2nd may day at the ring on sun 3rd spa trackday on the 4th back on the 5th £249 for non mlr members

[SMD]

Just had a look at the thread on the MLR!

What do you think about that Hotel dave is that the place you will be staying? Looks a little expensive maybe?

[dave1]

yes i agree looks way to expensive also i think it makes more sense to drive straight to the ring on sat stay there sat night sunday night drive to spa early monday am and get a hotel somewhere near just for monday night what do you think?

[csl_mba]

Sounds great :thumbs:

What does the £250 get you?

If you do it a different way let me know

Mark :wink:

[dave1]

£250 is the trackday open pit lane at spa not cheap but the most awesome race circuit in the world is,nt going to be.

there are also some extra's ie garage £75 but can be shared additional driver £50 passenger £20 i think there will be photography instruction back up etc also

at the ring it is just how many laps you fancy and you pay per lap hotels there are very reasonable i stayed there last year for £40 a night

[SMD]

yes i agree looks way to expensive also i think it makes more sense to drive straight to the ring on sat stay there sat night sunday night drive to spa early monday am and get a hotel somewhere near just for monday night what do you think?

Sounds good to me Dave! Do you have a hotel in mind at the Ring and spa? How long is the drive from the ring to spa?

[dave1]

either the place i stayed at last year £40 a night just outside of adenau or the ring house.

spa is approx 50 miles away so an hour just means not to many sherberts sunday night :thumbs:

just have to do a search for something in the spa area for monday night dont see it as a problem

[SMD]

Sounds good mate!

I thought it would have been more than 50miles but thats great!

Have a look for the hotel at Spa and jobs a dream! :smokin:

[dave1]

might be a little more but thats about right

there,s a sailing from dover at 8am and one at 10 am saturday

check out norfolkline dover to dunkerke

[dave1]

http://www.malmedy-hotel.net/

that was easy :thumbs:

could always leave for spa sunday early eve and stay there sun and mon if its easier

[terryb]

I think I could well be up for this. I had to give up my MLR space from about 2 or 3 years ago and still never been - so it's about time I put that right :D

[benCSL]

+1 for spa :thumbs: with MLR?

[RichW]

The MLR Spa trips are fantastic! i would recommend them to anyone :smokin:


Unfortunately its looking like i am not going to be on this one, i made the last 3 trips out there but this year things have changed quite alot for me - plus me and Mrs are looking to buy a new house too, so we'll see but it's looking unlikely :(


My advise would be to stay the whole trip in Germany, Spa is just over an hour away so its not so bad, the food in Belgium is dreadful, i stayed there on the first trip and wouldnt ever again :119: If need be stay the evening of the Spa day, but no longer!!! :hahaha:

[dave1]

thanks for that rich been undecided especially as the hotel they have chosen is expensive! straight to the ring it is then might be able to get a couple laps in on sat pm hopefully

shame you cant make it mate

[dave1]

terryb and bencsl let me know if you need help to book it ok

[whopwop]

How does one go about booking this, is there a direct link to MLR ?
Its been a few years since I have done spa.

ferry booked
norfolkline dover to dunkerke 2/4/09 10am

dunkerke to dover 5/4/09 6pm

£53 :beer:

driving up from cornwall will probably stay in ashford friday night

[dave1]

come on lads there's quite a few on mtorque that are keen lets get a few csl,s running down to the ring in convoy :beer:

[shimmy]

ill try to get a pass but likely that i will just tear down on the Sunday afternoon and either back on the Monday night or maybe Tuesday if work allows

it is about 6 hours for me door to door using the chunnel :thumbs:

just checked and £48 ret for the ferry or £54 Eurotunnel :beer:

[glendog74]

I'm certainly very keen to do this and have just tried to book at the lancerregister. The automated booking form asks what model of Evo and registration, etc...! :smt104

I could tell a porky and put in my old Evo VI details but won't they be a bit peed off when i turn up with a load of other CSLs to crash the MLR party?

I will come along if they are happy though! :whistle: :hahaha:

I just replied to you on the MLR :)


Your more than wlecome, just put CSL - theres no issues with non Evo drivers. Its usually a 50/50 split between the Evo's and the other cars.


Heres a link to the thread on MTorque - http://www.mtorque.co.uk/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=680738#Post680738

Greg the OP is the guy who organises the day for the MLR, he's our European contact if you like. Very handy too having a local around just incase you should need assistance - like i did two years ago when the engine blew on my Evo 9 :bigcry:

[dave1]

omg this is going to be cool

rob just look carefully you will see you can put in other makes its underneath the evo line :thumbs:

[glendog74]

I just replied to you on the MLR :)

Seen mate - cheers. I can't access the 'ubbthreads' on the mtorque forum but will look to book the Spa trip by the end of the week :beer:

[dave1]

i would,nt wait to long to book with the mlr its a popular trip :thumbs:

Mate, if you want you're more than welcome to stop here at our place in Yeovilton the night before? It will save you £50 and if we leave at 6AM we will miss the Bank Hols traffic and be there by 9AM. :beer:

Looking forward to the Evo+CSL convoy! I'll pm you reference accomodation! :beer:

[dave1]

[shimmy]

[Darin@MLR]

Hi everyone,

As there are a few CSL's booked into the MLR Spa trackday I thought I'd pop over here to say Hi :)

Although I expect we'll have a few Evos on the day, everyone is welcome and we usually see a good number of M3s & CSLs, and last year we even had sun too!! :hahaha:

Bookings can be taken over the MLR Shop but if you'd prefer to take the easy options and call us, we can take all your details on 0845 12 526237.

If you've got any questions feel free to ask, or email me darin@lancerregister.com

Cheers

No problem at all for you to tag along with us. Maybe John (Curly) may tag on as well but haven't spoken to him as yet. My mate is looking into hotels at the moment. Thinking of staying in one we've been at before, can't remember the name. I'll let you know details as soon as I know.

We've booked Norfolk Lines 10am Sunday and 12.00 Tuesday return.

[shimmy]

think John is going Hull - Zeebrugge

but i hate boats so i might just do the tunnel but will look and book this weekend once i know hotel costs etc

[SMD]

What is the difference between the ferry and the tunnel? Which has more driving?

[shimmy]

What is the difference between the ferry and the tunnel? Which has more driving?

ferry has a pointy end and moves and if you die its normally slow and painful whereas the tunnel stands still and you either burn or are suffocated very quickly

tunnel price is as cheap as the ferry overnight but about double for nights or more (norfolkline dover to dunkirk)

tunnel takes about min 60-90 mins from arrical to french roads and ferry is about 3 hours

I don't think I want to go now.......... :smt022

[shimmy]

I had my CSL on the track at Croft less than 2 hours after I bought it. :whistle:

These trips are about the whole weekend, and just having a laugh with mates, and making some good friendships. :beer: At the ring you can just pay for the laps you do, and go at your own pace. At Spa, you could just come to watch/be a passenger if you don't feel comfortable doing a full proper track day.

But whatever, the trips are well worth it. Just for the banter :hahaha: /piss-take :wanker: /beer :beer: /driving there :wink: /back :whistle: !!! :thumbs:
