Rear valence did look alot better after a good scrub, should have taken the rear shot later in the day lol. That rust on the rear does need sorting though.

Cheers Ben, the headlights are a DIY smoked job.Ben_Allen wrote:Just had a look through all the pics of the original car, slight armco-related mishap and reshell - looks great!
I do love the front end of the new car, the black detailing sets it off nicely. What headlights did you fit to it?
lol Ben, had to get ODE back somehow she owed me a lot of cash in bits.Ben_Allen wrote:Ah cheers mate, I'll check it out. Getting some inspiration for my silver one!
Respect for you driving your car - minus front end - all the way back from Germany. I had an off at Breidscheid in my 205 last year but fortunately only scraped it along the armco. It somehow managed to literally explode the dizzy though and I ended up driving it home with the most pikey set of random HT Leads that looked like they were from the '70s, and a completely unknown dizzy from the scrappy near the F1 circuit. Not sure I would've attempted to drive back had the car been a foot shorter though
No worries, ill get Jimbo to let you know when i am down or pm yadano0 wrote:looks good dude will have to take me out in her next time your down like to feel what a 2.7 goes like
Hatzenbach (spelling lol) my bill was 2000 euros too plus the recovery truck, seems like a nice round sum for us britsBen_Allen wrote:Heh fortunately I just scraped it (at about 50mph!) so all I got was a scratch on the corner of the rear bumper and an 80 Euro bill from the kind people at the Nordschleife - not quite as horrific as yours! Don't think I could've come out any better from that really as Breidscheid is the one corner on the track with an exit road so when the car wouldn't start they just pushed me off rather than getting the ADAC truck out and closing the circuit!

I felt a bit for the English chap paying his bill at the same time as me. He'd just written his Saab 900 Turbo off at Brunnchen and was setting a 2000 Euro fire ablaze on his credit card for the privilege! Poor guy.
Where abouts on track did you lose it mate?
Yes there are normally 2 - 4 zone trips out there a year which Davenotouring arranges and its a really good bunch of lads that go and always a good crack when i have gone.Ben_Allen wrote:Yeah seems to be the general sum for a major off over there! I've heard that figure banded about a fair bit on the forums.
As it happens I'm off to the continent starting tomorrow for a bit of a tour with a mate which includes a trip to the German/European GP next weekend at the 'Ring. We'll be getting a few laps in on the Monday afternoon but I've decided to be sensible and take my folks Astra Estate rather than the Beemer as it's largely untested at this point (and as of tonight has no exhaust) plus I'd probably bin it.
Shame really as it's crying out for a 'Ring sticker. I guess the Vauxhall will have to return with one on it instead
I'm sure it'll make a trip at some point in the near future though.
Do the Zone lot here organise any trips out there at all? I've been with 205GTiDrivers the past couple of years...
Keep an eye on the meets dude, i am sure there will be another trip this year through the zone.Ben_Allen wrote:Heh I'd prefer to sticker it up when the car's been so it'll have to wait for a bit. Hopefully it'll happen sometime this year though!
As long as its not this year, cant afford another re-shell and 2m of armco just yetNelly wrote:Yep so, get your ar5e back over there with me when i've finished mine
