Spa, Book-a-Track, Saturday November 13 2010 - Blitz Krieg

[campbell]

Got stopped by the Gendarme the year before and all they cared about was getting their speeding money.

Yes I doubt we could bargain our way out of a speeding rap with a car boot sale's worth of safety tat...I'll have the lot, obviously, cos that's what I do

Robbing twats.....

Just went online to get three days European cover for Spa. £83 with P&L, £53 without.

Phone call tomorrow. How have the rest of you gone on?

Depending on trip length they are often cheaper to just get full year multitrip cover.
If you are going twice it's a no brainer...

I hope it's not like this on Saturday...pretty though:

Well looks like i now have a car sorted for Spa which is great, however since its not mine i was thinking i should insure it while on track at Spa this weekend any suggestions of how much it will cost and who is the best company to speak to?

Normally it costs about 1% of the cars value per day with an excess of 10% of the cars value. CCI should be able to sort you out. Not a cheap way of doing it though

I think you can hire Quads and go round it in the snow. That'd be a laugh.

Looks fine at the moment and forecast is pretty similar to here. 7degrees and rain.

Can anyone suggest accommodation for the night before the Walshy day? Is the North Weald Travelodge the best option?

no, that's from some poor soul's 2004 visit...albeit in January...what did they expect?!

Funnily enough I can see snow caps on the Pentlands from my desk right now...if that keeps up, the drive to N Weald will be exciting for sure! I assume Spa will be very cold, and maybe we'll have more of a challenge with frost/ice than snow. Who knows. Let's just keep everything crossed. Except our arms, which should be a 3 and 9 o'clock on the wheel at all times

I should have taken out the AA quote first time around, it has now gone upto £102 including P&L.

Robbie Moffat, Corbie and I stayed at the NW Travellodge earlier this year. It was absolutely fine - I think it cost about £40 as I booked well in advance. Littlechuff right next door for breakfast of champions . Only a couple of minutes from the airfield but make sure you have a good look at how to get there as it was a bit of a bitch to find. I seem to recall that there is some kind of dodgy one way system.

Make sure you are entering your membership number to get discount, that the dates you are asking for are the same, and that it's like for like...eg, did you have P&L in the last time.

Got mine for £53 or thereabouts. No P&L though.

Thanks Stewart. Travelodge now booked. Cheers

Anybody trailoring got room for a couple of wheels?

The eternal optimist in me thinks it might be dry and bright, but I'm probably wimping out and putting "sensible" tyres on for the expected rain/ snow etc.

cheers
