winter rubber is on. Also the dust and dirt cover is intentional and really needed for protecting the paint!

Leaving in 7 hours. Dang, I need to get some sleep.

You will probably not see me for 12 weeks now, but after that I promise, I make you feel something you have never felt before!

Just some advice - before you leave for military service buy a higher table to put your monitor on. And there will be no need for a chair - you won't be able to sit for a few months

I've had the clutch and flywheel changed. I really didn't care if they took anything off or left it in because I f***in missed the kart meet this year because of that f***ing thing! I should have gone without a clutch...

PS: on topic, next week I'll change the brakes of the pug and the front brakes on the porsche, then winter preparation and tyres

I just peed myself! What a great picture Boris!!

hehe

Nah really you can NOT tell anymore which car to take, since all the companies now take every part from some other companies, hot glue it into their cars, sell them to someone completely different who puts badges on them.

The only thing I noticed was that with every german car you buy you get a special telephone number which you have to call when you break down. This is only to stay way up in the ADAC (AA in GB) statistics.

Pug runs smooth again. As expected...
Next year I'll go with the Porsche, that thing never failed in 360.000 kms, it won't let me down on one little trip of 2800!

Thanks for the offer and help guys!
I've asked a friend and possibly she and her friend will be driving up with me - if that's possible and okay with Jason of course!

I'll know more about it tonight.

Quote from The Very End :

As Becky points out, I got room in my little SHITTY car (just so you are warned haha)
If you get to an airport of some sort I am sure my GPS will lead me to the right place haha

Or, if your not that far away from a main road I could maybe bring you from your home. I am driving the highways that are the shortest route to france, where I am going to take the tunneltrain to England

Btw, I pimed my car for this ride, maybe I'll spoil the fun and posting a picture of it, or I'll wait til we meet so you can laugh your balls off of this car

Edit: I think the tunneltrain is free for an passenger tho. Paying for the car, not the people in it I guess (since you are sitting in your car when taking the train... in your car... ****ing car-train inception shit going on here).
I plan to start driving from Norway 13. august, then ferry to Denmark and stop somewhere for the night. Then I will drive a lot the next day, and just take my time The train which I has to reach is going like 10:00 on the morning, thuesday.

I am willing to drive a re-route to bring you Butz, if it would work with the times and such. As long as we reach the train within time

haha, really nice of you! but talking of a reroute:

https://maps.google.de/maps?q= ... einweiler&t=m&z=5

THAT's a long way!

or you stay here for a week :-)

hmm... thursday to monday is impossible I'm afraid. We're selling our flat on monday, I have to be at the notary (?) early, and I can only go from thursday night on. BTW I'm broke as a dead rat but I am going to pay the 60 quid asap anyway, if I attend or not.

I've asked a good friend of mine if she and her friend wanted a weekend trip to wales, maybe this will work.

Should anyone of you have team mates/friends from the south of germany, please pursue them to join the magic tourpug ride ;-)

greetz

der butz

same here.

BUT

Still (or again) I'm facing massive problems getting to wales! No plane will get me there in time, no plane will leave when I need to.

I'm a bit desperate atm, asking my brother to drive up with me :-)

greetz

der butz

what a beautiful picture!!!

Both, car and surrounding tell me to leave it like it is!

Really nice.

der butz

I need ONE more passenger to make driving our diesel beast cheaper than flying! Two more and the whole thing will be for next to nothing for us.
If you've got someone who can't say "squirrel" in your team or friendlist, maybe from the south (even austria/swiss is very near) and you want to meet him, please tell him!

I've invited shotglass but he seems scared to ride on for a few hours :-)

YAY!!!!

For some it's a shaky death trap, for others a dream classic
I've got a lamp under the bonnet too! The difference to yours would be that mine actually works and stops lighting the engine when you close it!

Haha, you see, bring some cars with style and class into a forum and all of a sudden it all becomes totally respectful and friendly :-)

just took one more pic.

Someone else here with a classic beauty?

What a car!
I love the retro style and stuff, and the ratty puzzle of parts inside :-) Where on earth did you get a wine red velours race seat?

I did the rear brakes and de-rusted my car a bit today... German winter is not good for car's bellies. Although, the 5kgs of rust on the floor almost completely fell out of the totally kaputt disk air vent thingies!

...Hopefully this won't happen before S3 is released !

Sorry mate, the sun will have blown up and collapsed to a white dwarf long before S3.

Well, you can't have all the same people each year I guess. I'm quite excited about meeting everyone who will be there! Maybe I've got a few more drinking games, or, if I can go by car, some goody south german beers :-)

Jason, could you give me the paying details again maybe?

greetz

der buztzztuztztutz

PS: "der" in "der butz" is just an article ("the") and I'm not german :-) proof: squirrel, see?!

I'll be there!

And I've already offered to drive over by car. 350€ for fuel and ferry, if we get 2 more people to join it'll be cheaper than the flight, plus other things like leave/arrive when we want to, as much baggage as we want etc...

If you'd like to join Herr Akut :-), it's great fun over there!

EDIT: Oh, and @Rocky; what do you think? You post a question and noone answers? :-) Some people are just too polite...

I don't pose around with the good things I've done. I'm a bad guy. If you do good try NOT to talk about it.

I really like your way of keeping the people together though Cheerio!

Quote from col :

In this case, they take it because there's nothing wrong with taking it - it is completely obvious that the skins are there to be used and it doesn't even come into their minds that some over-sensitive baby might have a massive hissy fit as a result, and accuse them of theft - because that would be totally ridiculous.

Let's get to it in a different way.
The Mona Lisa can be viewed by anyone who pays. You are not allowed to take a picture of it because the flash would slowly destroy it. So what you can do is buy posters and cards with the Mona Lisa on it.

Now if everyone just took a crappy dark shot secretly with his mobile to take a blurry image of the thing home instead of buying a proper sized poster for a few quid, how stupid would that be?

I would be proud if someone would race around with skins I did. Just ask and you get the full thing with your name and racing number! I just can't stand seeing someone's skin stolen, then altered in a cruel way (512x512, then added pixelated audi rings on what once was a great skin) and put on a car mostly used by tools.

der butz, now leaving for Monza

Quote from edge3147 :

J@tko, You are missing the damn point. USING the skin isnt a violation of copyright laws.

No, it's not a violation of a law. But it's morally stupid.

I tend to use team skins, and if I want to drive "my" car I use pretty much one skin per car. Since I hate the BF1 but wanted a nice skin I saw a Jaguar XJR9 one made FOR the BF1 on master skinnerz. So I registered, asked the guy who made it if I could use it. He was okay with it, I use it. Where's the problem?
Why do people just take stuff?

Quote from edge3147 :

Keep crying, nothing mature that you can do about it.

So what about doing something immature to fight fire with fire?

greetz

der can't think of anything more to write into my signature butz

Quote from edge3147 :

And doing such, would get you punished because it says nudity and offensive skins are NOT allowed.

I would happily risk that for the thought that someone who stole my skin was racing around in a stupid skin while feeling cool!
So you say it's totally okay to use a skin someone else made (even if there would be some line written in the dds telling it is a private skin), but it's not okay to make fun of those "thieves"? Isn't that a tad hippocritical?
