Hi peoples. We're back from our two months holiday in Europe. We drove just over 13,000kms across six countries and had an absolute ball. I can't tell you how much I LOVE the Autobahns in Germany. No Toll, no bumps or potholes, just perfectly smooth tarmac and no speed limits on most of them. We found out that our brand new 1.6 turbo diesel Peugeot redlined at 195km/h in 5th gear and wouldn't go any faster :D And also that it's a kind of a special feeling when you overtake a cop car at 165km/h and they don't even look at you. Oh and when ze krazy germanz overtake you when you're cruising on 170km/h and they accelerate away from you like you were doing 60.

When we flew out of Paris, it was 35 degrees there so it's been a bit of a shock coming back to sunny Canberra. This place was one of the highlights. Can anyone guess where this pic was taken? :iluvff:

Sure did. I still can't get the grin off my face. That place is so addictive that you just want to keep going back for more laps, and each time you become more and more confident and faster as you learn the track. Next time we're definately hiring a race car.

These are some of the machines we shared the track with:

    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Have you got a link to the ones you purchased?   Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
    • keep an extinguisher nearby? or even better, take it out of the car to charge?
    • 100% hear you. I won't defend them but I will defend my ability to work twice as hard to keep them running. 🤣
