    Maybe because HUK had to deal with a journalist who brought a crashed car back...

    I did get to read the T&C's on insurance and to be fair wasn't happy with some of the wording and liability, with no time to question and change, if that would happen, didn't help. Shame, but as mentioned better planning would give more chance of success, most know programme schedule a fair way ahead.

    I guess there will be no review on the best 90's poster car to watch then! :-(

    I offered my 1991 completely stock car, I was away but I had someone lined up to drive it where ever it was needed, but other than the OP and Mark (the previous owner), no one got back to me on it since I believe they thought they already had a car - I would have been happy to let a jorno drive it properly (within reason) as plenty of my friends including racing drivers have driven it including on race tracks.

    Shame. a real missed opportunity!

    I did for that trip, that photo was a day-trip with just one bike, but this how the majority of the journey looked:

    Ha! There's something brilliantly incongruous about that!

    Did they stay on 'round the 'Ring?

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson

    It's funny you should say that Nick, I'm sure Paul might enlighten you about that little story.

    I never got a chance to confirm that - I had all the cameras set up and ready... some video from the trip... some alpine road driving with bikes on the roof @ 5:20

    it's customary that all my road cars get a trip to the 'ring and do a lap (along with that photo of them parked up under the sign). For this trip I stopped in on the way to the alps, I had a ring card and had been waiting 2hrs for the track to re-open after a major accident. got all the way to the front of the queue and waved in by a couple of the marshals until a lady told me 'no'. I couldn't do a lap with the bikes on the roof... I think a sub-10 would have been doable even with the bikes!
