TheTurtleshead Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 James i think Tony should take them? DO they fit over UK's rear brakes? I haven't tried tbh bud. They are 15" rims, so I would be inclined to air on the side of caution and say no. I don't think there are many if any drag setups that would enable you to run UK rear brakes, most require J-spec rears. Unless you go for a 17" wheel with a smaller tyre profile, which is ofc less effective traction wise. A set of J-specs can be purchased for very little though!

RCK10 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 This is driving me bonkers. Does anyone have any idea how much (roughly) I would need to cover the full weekend? Realistically I shouldn't, but I REALLY want to go especially with the possibility of this being the last one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 You can hire a camping pod at Billing aquadrome for £40 per night. Fuel down would be about 2 tanks I would have thought, then £5 entry to the event and if you go to Japfest on the Sunday that would cost, but it is on the way back home for you. So the biggest cost is fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stay on McDonald's diet for whole weekend and steal alcohol from weakest links well I would say that it will cost about £250 for fuel , accommodation ( sleep where you fall ) and food.

There's still space in our static home (£65 Friday - Monday), we use roughly about 2 full tanks of fuel for the trip, since it's mainly motorway. Then it's upto you for the whole "spending money" for food/drink. Come along dude it will be well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the biggest cost is fuel. Fuel won't be as hard on the wallet as it will be for the other guys. I'll need to go down in the Golf if I can make it, which in this case might be a good thing. If you stay on McDonald's diet for whole weekend and steal alcohol from weakest links well I would say that it will cost about £250 for fuel , accommodation ( sleep where you fall ) and food. Ah, yes. I'm well accustomed to the McDonald's diet and sleep where you fall routine There's still space in our static home (£65 Friday - Monday), we use roughly about 2 full tanks of fuel for the trip, since it's mainly motorway. Then it's upto you for the whole "spending money" for food/drink. Come along dude it will be well worth it! I'll find out for sure tomorrow and let you know as soon as I can bud. Also thought about leaving early doors on Saturday morning and driving down and back up the same day but that would be a hell of a journey for one day. Thanks for the info folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Why put yourself through travelling down and up in one day...if anything, come down with us in the convoy on Fri and drive back up after pod on Sat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would indeed be a better plan... I figured going down and up on the same day would save me a few quid, but I guess it wouldn't be worth the hassle for the difference it makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCK10 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Sorry for the confusion lads. Still not 100% on this. Need to wait till tomorrow to make sure someone can cover for me on Saturday, but it shouldn't be a problem! Then I'm good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Good times. You will enjoy it mate...the convoy and a couple of beers on Fri will make it so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Indeed. Quite excited now Was hoping to have the golf mapped for it, but never had the time or spare cash. As long as I'm there I'm a happy chap though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 And yet again, I'm out Gutted! Can't get any cover for Saturday, which I guess is my own fault for leaving it so late.. Have a good one anyway folks, and hopefully the weather holds out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
