This sucks bigtime. It's not realistically possible for me to get to germany and back within friday afternoon and sunday night, and I really can't be out of the office either; believe me, I can't. You could probably guess where I would want to be more; at the office, or at the Ring. Unfortunately it's not really my call

Gutted :-(

Is anyone of us not at the weber hotel?

Maybe it would be good, if we could change some phone numbers to meet each other. -> Private message me...

hey guys. i'm sorry because i didn't tell you sooner that i wouldn't come this time. my boss didn't give me my days off because of some injured and/or sick coworkers. and the car isn't still ready for a track day. i could have come with my other GT but things are like that. i think to go to Nurburgring in August but i'm not sure yet.
please make some videos and pics.
have a good week-end guys!

Hi Daniel,

You are the one with the silver RX-7 FC?
What went wrong with it? Ed and I passed you when you was standing at the side.

**D7ig** · 5-19-08, 16:27

Hi,

yep, we've seen you three times there.

I lost oil and sliped over my own oil. first 180° to the right, then 180° back, then sideways over the left curb and then into the wall.

Today i've taken my car back home:

Dorifto

Bye,
Daniel

Hi Everyone!!

I had an awesome time! This was possible only due to the generosity of the people I went with!

Many MANY of my most sincere thanks to the following :

Dutch : Giving me somewhere to sleep on Friday and Sunday night, taking me around Nederland in various automotive wonders :-) I went for a ride in his 818/808, Wezel's red FD, the red GV, the blue GD with him at the wheel :-)

Ed/Mikis : Taking me around th' 'ring in the race prepped GD and eventually letting me drive it round th' 'ring twice.

CaseJunkie : Offering to bring me home from Deutschland after Dutch and Wezel piked on us on the sunday. Also, actually taking me back to Dutch's place after saying he would :-)

Wezel : Letting Dutch drive me around in the FD : Awesome car, confirmed on my shopping list ;-)

Marc(k?) : Being the crazy mofo that he is and keeping us all entertained.

Anyone/everyone else I've forgotten!

On the monday Dutch took me to meet bakmans and look around their workshop. I had a long chat to the owner/operator of the place and can 100% give you the Fred seal of approval on his work/ability/knowledge. Smart capable guy! Thanks to him for the chat, most enjoyable!

I'll do a write up at some stage and post any pics not lost on my damaged memory card :

I'll link it here when I do :-)

Thanks again to all involved, AWESOME weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fred.

I don't suppose you know exactly what time those pics were taken at do you?

They *may* (20% chance) have been me

Daniel, looks like you got off very lightly! I was expecting to see front left corner damage from your position as we went past.

It was quite hard. I think most of the forces went to the wheels / suspension. Yesterday i rolled 30 meters downhill and steered a bit. At least some wheel bearings gone bad. I hope not much more.

I have a video of it. I will post it in the next few days.

Daniel

Good luck fixing it! :-(

One lap, first behind Benne's Probe: YouTube

Daniel

**fredio54** · 5-21-08, 1:51

So, are you new to youtube, or did you create a new account because you think they will remove the video/account? Did you compress that video pre posting it up? Or did youtube compress it that much? Or was it that bad to start with?

I may or may not have some lap videos myself, but I may or may not have hidden the camera past all the speccy points so the footage is fairly average...

Fred.

The quality of the source is okay. It's a mini dv cam. The file i've uploaded is quite good, too. I don't know why it is that bad.

And yes, i am "new" to youtube.
