Having had my NSX a year now and having been with other friends to Monaco classic and Scotland last year, what do I need to do to join you for Spa this year? I have been a few times with my Triumph TR mates before, and they saw you all last year, so do you book track laps etc? Would like to drive down through the tunnel with a few others if possible, so what time do you normally head off?
Is it a boys only affair or will the wife enjoy it too, she is certainly not girlie and loves speed (cars not drugs)?
Whilst writing has anyone got a footwell amp they don't use as I have had mine repaired by Kaz but it has blown again, need the door ones too?
Thanks
Pete
Hi Pete, it's easy to sign up for this great tour, click on the NSX club Europe web site, go to the 2017 Europe tour and register with card payment.Quote:

If there is track time this year at Spa you will be notified on how to book up and it really is great fun.
Our NSX forum boys tend to book up to cross the channel through the tunnel on mass at the same time which again is great fun.
Partners are more than welcome as it's not purely a boys weekend away and by the sound of it your wife would it enjoy it immensely as the karting is a great highlight of the event for her to participate in along with fast flat and hilly scenic routes that are well organised to enjoy.😎
Bad news about your sound system problems, consider adding an after market amplifier hooked up to the origanol head unit after careful upgrading of your speakers. You won't regret it.👍
See you on the trip.
Clive.
If anyone else is interested booking for this event is still open...as stated before it's a great event and very social.
One comment that I should flag-up is regarding speeding fines (& others) - from 7th May 2017 the UK has to comply with the Cross Border Directive, which means that if you get a ticket on the trip this year it now CAN find its way back to you here...
...so an up-to-date camera database may be useful...or judicious use of cruise control! ;)
Thats a great point ! there were definitely quite a few flashes last year I remember ... i recommend the cyclops ap on the phone, has a Europe wide database and worked well for me across France in December.
Next question is what time are those of us leaving on Friday morning meeting at the train ? time to get booking !
Hi Kye,
I think most of the UK group have booked the hotel for the Thursday night as last year.
Good to see you signed up again

Ollie
I'm very easy and flexible on timings but would suggest catching the train ferry no later than 11am. Any thoughts from anyone else???Quote:

Not sure If Joe is signed up as he has not put himself on the list otherwise I think Havoc is the furthest away?
Olly
I'm flexible too. Think Joe had signed up on Facebook page.
Think Joe and I are the long-distance guys here - whereabouts do you live Pete?
What time did we get last year - was it 12.50? That worked well for me, although I could probably bring it forward a bit if needed...not sure about Joe / Pete...
Looking at google we've 340km / 3hrs 10mins from Calais, either via Brussels :shudder: or Antwerp (any better?!?). Plus we'll lose an hour to time difference. So the 12.50, allowing for a pit stop or two, would get us to the hotel +/- 6pm, later if we hit a lot of traffic. That feels OK to me and SHOULD put us past Antwerp/Brussels before rush-hour.
...it also would mean probably not waiting for any slackers that miss the train! :cough: ;)
Separate thought...fuel prices...is it still cheaper to fill up just outside Calais now?!? :D
On petrol prices there's nothing in it.
have signed up for thursday too guys. can leave any time Thursday morning or could do wednesday evening and stay somewhere on the way ? could break up the journey a bit ?
I thought last year we got a train about 11.00 with a meet up at 9.30 at Clacketts services on M25?

Just checked - it was 12.50 out on the Thurs and 19.50 back on the Sun. It was all Simon's idea! ;)
I need 3hrs + traffic to get to Folkstone from my place, so anything before 12 is pushing it as I'll have to leave during rush hour (not the end of the world but not ideal if I've another 3-4hrs drive at the other end). Think from memory Joe's got a longer drive still...
