Near Life Experience 2011

Amazing place... amazing cars... you lucky buggers!

A big V12 Fezz would be awesome up in the Alps. I would stay away from Stelvio though in such an expensive car. You will struggle with ground clearance and turning circle. Best do the more flowing Passes

I think Stelvio is on the cards! 3 weeks and 3800kms of the worlds best roads planned... Just need to sort out a car!!! And I think they'll be a few passes that don't suit the size or and ride height of the Fez so we'll have to respect that when the roads aren't welcoming... If that's possible

umm isn't the rollcage supposed to be higher than your head!?

I suppose if you roll one of those things your in trouble even if your not tall

looks like a blast... +1 on the hooker pics;)

You should have seen the size of the steering wheel in his hands. He looked like Harry and the Hendersons

3 weeks and 3800kms...you will love it. I racked up 6,000kms in the Cossie without even trying One thing though, I was getting about 500kms to a tank, 60L tank so a tank was costing me about AUD$120. I did look at a 6spd LT1 91 Vette, but so glad I didnt do it because the fuel bill would have killed me

After bashing around Zandvoort in the lil Caterham it was time to head back to the eastern part of Belgium to watch a "Superstars" meet at Spa. Its basically a European V8 Supercars round, where they have 3-Series, 5-Series, Maseratis, C-Class, E-Class, 300C, Jaguars etc all being powered by V8s with some general control Aero. There are a few ex F1 and Sportscar drivers in there...and all supported by F3000, GT3s and Ferrari Challenge race series.

Of course being Spa means one minute you are walking around taking off your jumper because you are sweating...then 15mins later the clouds move in and its raining

The poor old 300C blew up at La Source coming onto the straight

The Sunday brought with it some better weather, but the real crime was the Pub at the top of Eau Rouge as closed...so we couldn't sit back and booz on during the days racing. This meant we walked around some more..I started at Mrs Brisby who was still slaving away pouring punters beers...but all in all was a pretty laid back race weekend. Access to the pits cost something like EUD10, but otherwise entry to the even was free. Imagine going to a v8 Supercar round and entry being free!

I would be happy with thus guys job if it meant I was paid to travel Europe and play cars every 2nd, 3rd weekend

And yes, this is the Jag getting in on the action again at the start of the final race

[Roy]

Every time I have been at Spa I have wanted to stop at the local airfield to check out the old planes that you can just make out as you drive by....this time with nothing pressing we stopped and had a guernsey...

Having some spare time also meant that we could cruise over to the Spa Museum. I wasnt sure what to expect, I had read they had a good collection of car but I wasn't expecting the caliber of cars from Sportscar Racing and F1

[zebra]

So Envious!

[Roy]

awesome pics mate. love the old megatron turbo F1 engine.

Is it a BMW engine? I don't know much about them...other then the fact that I sat there for 10-15 minutes starting at it trying to look at the old school turbo tech

[zebra]

yeah BMW Bris

[turboedsloth]

Looks like an awesome trip was had. Would love to do something similar when i get the chance. MOAR pics please sir

[Beelzebub89]

f**kin awesome stuff. I'm planning a trip over there next year for Spa and a go around the burger ring amongst other things. How much did the caterham hire cost?

[Roy]

I try my best to wipe cost from my memory. Something like 2k for the European track days. I have finished uploading my Nurburgring pics so will get them up over the weekend

[Marlin]

So, cruising through my new favourite website last night, stumble across Briz hosting a car a car show. If only I could understand you mate, I reckon it's very entertaining

Just quietly, the rest of the site is bloody good too! (check out the sweet nubile girls they find )

Oops. Dont open the links to cute Eastern Europeans at your desk in plain site of others Or maybe do that and enjoy a few weeks at home in the sin bin

So, who is coming to Spain next year. Figure a 7,000km trip from Portugal to Ukraine is in order...well that's the latest thinking

[Marlin]

I told ya, I'm comin! Real world can garn get farked.

[Snowman]

Sevastapol is our new destinational goal!

(For the simple reason that there is no good reason)
