It looks like i will probably join the band... my new brakes won't make it in time.

Provided that it stops ******* raining I'm going to try to leave here at around 11, which would put me there around 1230-1300.

We have a greek guy on the european forum that makes very cool videos and he asked me to send him as much footage as I can for this trip.
I'll be lapping on the 14th (noon) and the 15th the whole day.
My friends don't speak english though but in the end who cares!

That sucks, I saw a full day of racing too. Guess that changed last minute. I should probably get a hotel room now. Not really up to driving back at night back to Ansbach.

I'd be in for a compression test. I've actually never done it yet so I may be overdue.
