Re: Ape's LCR225 Thread (Loads of Pics)

Well I had my last car for a year and put 3 pairs on the front! Lol alltogether just over 20000 miles!

I've settled for Goodyear assymetrics on my lcr now. Have fun at the burg I so want to go there!

I'm going to The Ring in June.

You'll have to post up some details about your accomodation, route, etc when you get back if you dont mind?

I thought we'd give the LCR a final clean before we set off on our Epic Nurburgring Trip

The new tyres are brilliant. They don't hop like the P Zero Nero Rosso's that were on it previously, they scuff a bit and then dig in without bouncing the front of the car. They look pretty cool too Haven't really tested the grip at the moment, didn't want to get the car mucky again after just cleaning it

When are you heading to the ring fella? I'm getting the 6am ferry on Friday morning, will be there by lunchtime and staying till monday you see the snow forecast?!

I will do mate, I'll do a full write up. The Hotel we're staying at has full DIY Mechanic Workshop facilities, mountain bikes (drunken cycling ) , track car for hire, trailer, 12 car garage. £40 a night each Route is Dover to Dunkirk and then through brussels and out the other side

Me too!! No way!! We're heading to Dover on Thursday night, and will kip in the cars for a few hours before we stuff ourselves with dodgy ferry food

Are you travelling to Calais or Dunkirk? I'm not looking at the forecasts, don't want to upset myself I've got a friend over there now who has told me it's raining. I keep looking at the Nurburgring Webcam to see what's happening. There's been fully race prepped looking motors under gazebo's, and a banana'd porcshe gt3 on the back of a beaver tail

looks really smart that mate

Cheers bud

Yea, I've been checking the webcam alot too! I am going to Dunkirk with a group of 8 other 1.8t VAG cars We are meeting at Clacket lane services at 3:30am that morning!! Are you going to be on the same ferry? I'll look out for the wheels!
Well the 40cm of snow has melted..so that a bonus!!

 

[Ape]

We're catching the 6:00am Norfolkline Ferry. There are 3 of us VAG owners going. A TT Quattro Sport, Bora TDi and my LCR

I'll have a look at Clacket Lane We could possibly get there for our bit of kip before the ferry

 

[Ape]

Here are the motor's we're taking down

 

[DannyC87]

You're not wrong! I'll bump (not with the car!) into you no doubt somewhere along the way Have you been before?

The Liquid Gauge was £226 delivered direct from the chap that makes them. Footage below. It's unedited as I just used the standard windows moviemaker to chop it up a tad. It was over 40minutes long.
