May 8th is a free day in France ( and others countries of Europe?).
Don't you remember what happened in 1945?

Lizard is ready for the 8 or so hours to Val de Vienne today.
Will be there 3 days with Porsche France.
Nice! Looking forward to the pics.

It is Victoire 1945 in France....after that day they knew they would not be speaking German.

Pete did you find a better place to work on the car than the crook next door at Spa?!?! I left him a very bad review on Google and Facebook...he is still pissed at me and sends me Facebook messages...LOL

Have you gone through a set of rotors yet or just the 1st set of stock pads and now on RE10's?

German would have been more convenient LOL.

Saw the review Mike
I should have looked in the invoice and on the tires, so that was stupid but because RSR said I should go there, I thought all would be OK after specifically discussing N2 tires.

Rotors look a little nackered but still OK to make it here and SPA.
After that many days at the Ring and there they don’t suffer much but I’ll change the fronts at least.
The RE-10 are easier on the rotors so we will see.

It will be dry in the afternoon and then also for the next two days.
Taking it easy just to see where the tracks go, but it’s mostly open sight lines and not much elevation.

Do miss my trusty side kick 911rox :-)

Not too hard to learn, I won’t have any use for the rhythm I found so far in the rain, so maybe I can make a beginning this PM to at least be not too much of a road block the first session tomorrow.

I doubt your ever a road block! Weather will break...have fun and relax....off to work I go...worky work work. Speaking of that...bummed...1st time in my life I ever thought about looking for something else to do or start a business or buy a franchise....the main line I sell pull a lot of customers away from us reps on Friday....lost a lot of commission $. I'm sort of in a daze.

Lots of rain, tomorrow as well seems like. Oh well, maybe Friday and Saturday will be better.

Arrived with some spare time to check out the area and do some work.

Glad they are getting positive feedback from their local guys on the RE10s Pete. They really are the bomb! New business venture with BOES, you supply the pads, they supply a garage for Trakcar!!!

And I have one complaint!!! We didn't leave her in Amsterdam that clean?!!!

I miss you too champ! I wish I was in that passenger's seat for the next 2 weeks, tearing up the roads and tracks of Europe like last month. I would give up my right nad to be able to escape work for another 3 week mancation stint!

Rox misses Lizard and FLATOUT Trackcar Nation!!! Rox be sad back in Oz!
