I will need to buy a car to do this, so until I do I'll not be booking a thing. Knowing the rate of attrition on trips like this after the initial flurry of excitement I'm sure I'll get a spot if necessary (and if I own a car by then!)

Pretty much yeh, Tyres £500 min, brakes £400 and fuel £280 a day comes to almost £2,000 for a trip like this and that's before ferry, digs, food etc. :shock:

Plus I've been there and done it with the Evo now I'm bored of it. Fancy a lightweigh locost or similar although I don't know much about them. :?

Anyone fancy a group buy on Smitstui's? :lol:

Team still game - what are you waiting for? Tut? Mass? Track slags in general?.

No - it was genuine, but don't do anything until you see the refund on your account. I don't want you to pay twice.
Your place is assured on the event anyway - I'll keep you posted if there's any developments (it might be the case that we can leave things as they are)

Kind Regards
