The Cal-look Lounge

How many will be driving to Bug-In with high horsepower engines?

By the time I get to Bug-In I have probably covered close to 3500km.
Just to separate the real callookers from the trailerqueens ;D.
At 100km at high rpm it will take time....but I will finally get there,
calling in at Camberg and Stuttgart(Porsche) on the way.

I will be leaving Stuttgart on the Wednesday before Bug-In, so if
anyone is driving from that area, please feel free to join me.
Last but not least, I want to wish everyone a safe drive and lets set the standard.

Paul

I'll be driving from Barcelona  ;D

Me!

Me too, but I get a head start because I live in Belgium 8)

Have a good run Paul, see you there, I'll look for the dazed guy with bleeding ears and just the one plastic bag. Mine's more of a tourer so a little slow on the strip come the racing but on the upside I'll have a nice calm tranquil journey down.

Probably.  :D

Have a safe one, roll on Bug-In!

I think we need a trophy for the non-traillered looker fastest ET (not that I have any chance at all!)

i will be driving, but also from belgium... but the car is the tricky part. it will be either the trusty square that has been in rebuild for over a year, or the freshly finished (by then, now it is still a lot of work) fasty.

but even on a bike i will be there.  ;)




anyone a timeslip for the quartermile on a racebike????  ;D

Ill hopefully be driving the "most tricked out cal looked drag raceing Iveco 11 car transporter ever ! It will be lowered to the max to clear the bridges and has 16 gears which sound like straight cuts, it is a bit smokey but i can spin the wheels in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and even 5th, now thats horsepower.....................

i will be to , look out or the DRR! 8)

Me,its gonna be slow with a 1.21 4th gear ;D

i want see that with my own eyes  :o

Me Me Me.  If i get all these bugs worked out ( no pun intended ) . only five weekends to go , think im going to have my hands full as ive only just got gears and no breaks to speek of yet  ::)

i gone drive mine as well from ostend belgium

How will you cope  :D

with trailer,don't tel any one  ???

grt Tom

I'm driving the Manx all the way there if that counts  :)

I wont be driving in the bug but I've been doing some internet surfing and i could'nt believe how cheeply I  could get there for with a flight, a room in a hotel on Sat night 20 mles away and a hire car Sat morning to Sunday night.

How about £160 all in for one, £185 for two or £285 for the full tribe of four :o  

Very tempting as a cant have the time off to drive there from the uk just got to add food and tickets to get in.

Where's that cheque book

i'm driving. Hey Randy,should i be kind and keep it it 4th (1.12) or shift to 5th (0.89) and say Sayonara ? :D ;D

I will be arriving back in the UK 2 weeks before Bug-In, if I can get this finished in time I will drive it like I stole it!! :)

What do you reckon Richie? :)

Cheers

Tom

...I´ll go there with my bug: It´s around 700 kms form Stuttgart/Germany where I live @.
I really hate going with that loud and uncomfortable car on the Autobahn with 120 km/h, especially in Germany where you often have sections without speed limit. So you´re often in "conflict" with cars passing you with 220 km/h-that sucks!

Gasser?    front needs to go up a bit more :)

cheers richie,uk

My cal-look will be garaged due to unfinished engine - driving my 62 Ghia instead, wish all vikings going there a nice and safe journey :)

Looking forward to the drive over, the 0.82 4th in my car is perfect for cruising across Europe with. mmmm 91/2 mph at 4000rpm... What is it 130 miles from Dunkerque - therefore a simple hour and a half drive -  ;D

Not reallt Tim, we'll all be stuck with Randy dribbling along at 100 km/h  ;)

I'll tell you what James, you dribble along and I'll get to our accommodation and make sure all is in order ;)

I'll see you here, don't worry I'll have a cold one waiting for you ;)

  ...I'll be in the first squadron too...  ;)

Too many gassers on the web.... :)

So the wedding car will be there waiting with a pretty pink bridesmaids car when I get there  :D

Me too!!

I will drive my 67 with 1776 from Italy (Milan)...

Wedding Car  :D :D :D I wonder if he'll be putting ribbons on the hood for EBI  ??? :D :)

Top stuff Timbo  ;D

I can't see most pics at work, so that's the first time I've seen it! Hats off to ya, stirling work  ;)

i'll be driving  8)

Driving from UK.

5 speed box shuld help ease the pain of solid mount.   :D

.... the drive there should be great ;D

I think Max is taking his Oval, so the "real" wedding car won't be in Belgium  :P

That's all well and good but lets talk about accomodation and parking.

Actually, let's not.  ;D

oops... apologies for making any reference to accommodation and/or changing the subject of the thread...  ;D  ;D 

KDP will be in the area as well, look forward to see new and old friends....

;)
