Ape's LCR225 Thread (Getting Back on the Road)

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

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 :lol: Haven't really tested the grip at the moment, didn't want to get the car mucky again after just cleaning it :p

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

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 [B)] ) , track car for hire, trailer, 12 car garage. £40 a night each :D Route is Dover to Dunkirk and then through brussels and out the other side :D

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 :D

Are you travelling to Calais or Dunkirk? I'm not looking at the forecasts, don't want to upset myself :lol: 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 :blink:

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!! :D

You're not wrong! I'll bump (not with the car!) into you no doubt somewhere along the way :D 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.

Certainly are! Can't complain. Just ordered one for my mate in the TT, hopefully it will arrive before we go.
