We are going to the Nurburgring in Germany this weekend. We are setting off tommorrow morning with the S13 and the Jag to drop the S13 off with Gary at APT. We will be doing some work to the Jag at Garys tommorrow and then going down to Dover and staying there the night.

We catch the ferry early Friday afternoon and will be driving from Calais through Belgium and onto Germany. We should get to Sliders guest house by late evening.

We are taking the Jag because its big and comfortable and is superb for long distances. Its also pretty quick with nearly 400bhp :cool: We are doing some fettling to the car including fitting new discs all round, EBC Redstuff pads to the front, Ferodo DS2500s to the rear, new decent brake fluid, new bushes in the bottom of the front dampers and new rack mounts to help tighten up the steering. Thats what we will be doing at Garys tommorrow :)

Should be good, we havent been to the Nurburgring before and my experience of driving on the continent consists of one trip down to the south of France with a mate years ago.

Anyway, the point is that Ann and I wont be back at work until next Tuesday so we wont be replying to posts in our section until then.

There will still be three people working at Apex (Emma, Luise and Jim) so orders will still be processed, if a little slower than normal.

You can order over the phone on 01274 617555 or on our website. If the website doesnt have what you want on it then just use our blank order here:

Im getting quite excited now. We have just been shopping to get some food for a picnic, water, sweets etc and filled the Jag with fuel so its ready to go.

We are just chilling with a few beers and ten we have to start packing. I think we are going for an early start tommorrow, setting of down to Garys at around 6am.

We still have to fit the MOs to the S13 (we had the rally tyres swappd or road tyres today) and refit the AFM and air filter. Looks like we will be working on the car at the unit at 5.30am tommorrow morning! :eek: :wack:
