Hi Markus,

There were a couple on the one I attended. Someone had an engine blow and someone else had a coming together with a verge. A hairy drive without ABS to say the least. Still, probably best they are no longer run though.

While I'm here, it might be a good idea to collect your RD DVDs sooner rather than later. My ex will be packing all my stuff for shipping back to the UK in the next few weeks, and I doubt she'll want your DVDs hanging around.

Jerome - It was a little mad when they were being run, dread to think what they would be like today, and I think we were all very lucky to not have had any more serious incidents.
Oh, just sent you a PM btw

Feels like a trip down memory lane - I wish I'd kept some of those classic old threads.

Clear? It was 6 yrs ago but I can still remember seeing the dashboard at 30 degrees to the road, FFS.

That was a good night out, I was working in Woking at the time so made it over for the night out, being a Northerner meant I rarely got to meet the Southern contingent.

Telboy was also there, plus Anders, Chuck, RonaldoH, Dave P, and a few others I think.

We used to have a good Northern group as well with Banshi, Otis, Craft, Mellow Yellow, BarryK etc but they all seem to have gone missing these days

Don't know where Rich Askew is these days.

Richard Squires posted on 22B the other day, so he's still around.

As for Tango, one assumes you mean Andy Tang, in which case he's still around, think he's got a Forester these days, plus a couple of mini tango's too

I can remember filling up at Donnington services when Mike drove through the pumps in his Sierra.
There were 2 feet of flames coming out the back at the time.

I kept it for a few years and had some good fun in it trying to keep up on the Weekly runs out over Rivington with the lads from the "Northern Forum"

Never let me down, just needed some minor cosmetics after a slight sideways moment on track

I then sold it to a guy who asked me if i wanted to sell in the pub, for good money!! Ended up driving some right piles of crap until i'd saved enough to get my Civic Type-R in 2004

Last i'd heard he traded it in and it had lunar mileage on it!

Strewth, this thread throws up some old names.

I joined in Jan 2000 and still have the same old long-suffering red shed (although there's not much of the original left ) Just realised it's ten years old in Sept

Well I'm still in regular contact with Rich Askew and he's doing well selling motorcycles to unsuspecting members of the public. Harj is also on top form although he's not got a 360 at the moment and I'm surprised they let him contact people in the outside world from Guantanamo

Anyway, I reckon it's about time for a nostalgic Ring trip. Anyone else fancy it? First weekend of September! Hotel ZurBurg and plenty of currywurst mit pommes und mayonnaise!

Hi John

I'll check the days that it's open and we'll sort something out. BTW, I'm fully "pipe and slippers" now as I'm driving an auto! LOL
