Great stuff Mark! I got so close to finishing the car, but close isn't good enough...............

Probably not a bad thing because it does mean the car should be properly set up before it is used seriously, but still very frustrating.

No matter - with reports like yours I am sure there will be more DDK interest for another trip.

Kind regards,

Bob

Great report Nick - an entertaining read, and some nice shots.

Thanks James, but it was Mark

Cheers

I also met another ddker at spa with his better half. But sorry mate I've forgotten your name.
Good to meet Chris (impactbumpers) at the ring too

It was me and Helen (think I only told you my user name . . very rude sorry). Fantastic array of machines at Spa. . . hope you sorted out your knocking noise.

We pushed off at about 3:30 and got to Amsterdam that evening (more Porsches at Zandvoort the following morning) . . . in my little TT. Over the week we took in Reims, Monte Carlo, Spa, Nurburgring (4 laps) and Zandvoort and a few mountain passes along the way (including Stelvio) . . . excellent trip. Favourite road Malamaire to Vence in the South of France http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF8&o ... &z=14&om=1

Cheers

HI Phil,

You did tell me your username. But in all the excitement I forgot it. Apologies to you both for that.
Pleased you had a good trip.

Nick

The knocking was rubber coming off the tyres

Scariest bit of the trip was my bonnet coming undone exiting the carrousell at the ring!!
