The OffoOple Euros Thread

[Lee]

We dont have one of these bad boys yet:o

I think this will be where the discussion for the euros will take place, im not sure if there will be any live feeds from the track this year but im sure you will get all the info you need from jimmy`s reports. :D

My first query is what is the plans for everyone on the days before the event. I will arrive probably late morning on the saturday. What does everyone usually do? Visit the track, prep cars, Drink? :drool:

[Lee]

This thread is a bit quiet:eh?:

[jimmy]

We're getting there thursday so will have a bit of a chill out first! :thumbsup:
Got to try sort out some internet access somewhere - I doubt they'll have access at the track like there was in Vaasa last year, so we'll need to find a way of uploading, either haXXor stylee or find a legit local internet place.

[Teddy truman]

me, dad, wraggy and lee going out saturday morning:thumbsup:

[Lee]

Will you go to the track on the sat tony?

[nobby]

i'm not going:(

[jimmy]

I just found out I didn't book off the euros from work! :blush::cry: a couple of other artists are on hols then already and it's crunch time - have to wait and hear if I can actually go now or not :bored::bored::bored::bored::bored: might have to do a proxy report and have someone take a couple of snaps or somet :woot:

[Lee]

[Lee]

[Teddy truman]

why you going out so early jim?:eh?:

[jimmy]

haha, if they ask say it's yours!!!! I don't know anything about it :eh?: :thumbsup::woot:


Going out early to have a lil break - We were originally going to go to the 8th Euros as well to cover it but that fell thru so now we're having a holiday I guess you'd call it :thumbsup: and so I can scope the mcdonalds out.

[Lee]

For those driving, there is a new rule that comes into force today, there is supposed to be a hi-vis vest for each person in the car, im not sure how strict they will be on this though, but no doubt they will enforce it just because were british :(


Hopefully none of us will be stood at the side of the road anyway :)

[Gaz_Stanton]

and so I can scope the mcdonalds out.

Jimmy, theres a McDonald's right next to the Stadio Delle Alpi (Juventus football stadium) which is a couple of junctions down the autostrada.
The stadium is well signposted so can't miss it. :thumbsup:

Below is one of the run's from the 05 Worlds. I don't think the people behind us in the queue were impressed when we put this order in. :D

or ask, of course, for a pizzeria!

p. s. sorry for bad english

[jimmy]

Thanks Jeek' ! :) and welcome to oOple :thumbsup:

mcdonalds is my 'safe place' :woot: so these things are important to get right!

[speedworm]

For France, it's ok still 1st of October. Police will not check before this date...For Italy i don't know

See you in Collegno

[Cruise]

Safety Jackets were already mandatory when last euros in Italy took place.
And you have to drive with lights on all the time.

I cant believe you are not gonna be there!!!!!! No way dude!!!!!!!!!

Dude call in sick and get your ass there:thumbsup:

[jeekelemental]

Many Thanks for welcome I'm happy and proud to be on the board.

mcdonalds is my 'safe place' :woot: so these things are important to get right!

now, I just need to know how to adapt my fillet-o-fish to tell them

It's a lot of time that I don't eat something from McDonalds but, if nothing is changed, fillet-o-fish it's the same in Uk as in Italy :D.
Probably (but not sure ;)) after the first time that you have pronounced it in the correct way you have to repeat it as it's wrote :D.
'without all the crap' :thumbsup:
"without all the crap" is "senza schifezze" but it's better if you use "senza salse".
Then your complete "safety formula" is: un fillet-o-fish senza salse.

[bbq]

I cant believe you are not gonna be there!!!!!! No way dude!!!!!!!!!

Dude call in sick and get your ass there:thumbsup:

Oooooh man i wish i could.
Dude i was soo looking forward sitting in the bar an having you tell
me more about the amasing dream place called Glen hellen!
And having vodka shots =)
Last year was such a blast and the year befor that!

[Lee]

Does anyone know if the pits will be cooled in any way, is it worth taking a fan over for the boys?

[Teddy truman]

[MattW]

Pits do get very hot over there - or did at last Euros. We just bought fan from local Supermarket.

BUT, I will see how it drives, it may be ok!!!!!

Ben: Jimmy is a busy boy, today we went for a ride to maccies with him and vicky and on the way back we re-enacted a scene from the italian job through some Dolmio type town.

There is no access at the track, i dont think they were expecting us to be honest they haven`t even cut the grass:confused:

[ben]

What did you get from maccies lee? :confused::)

There is no access at the track, i dont think they were expecting us to be honest they haven`t even cut the grass:confused:

Quote from Jimmy's report:
'There seems to be a stange culture of 'ladies' standing in the middle of nowhere dressed in their thongs only in Italy - I can't quite understand it but after 2 days in Italy we'd seed around 4-5 women in different obscure locations far from civilisation with their arses out! awesome.'

Blimey - wish I'd gone now...

Although I think you mean 'seen' instead of 'seed' ;-)

[jimmy]

Sorry guys, internet is flakey and slow - I'm uploading todays junk including 100 photo gallery :thumbsup: not sure when it'll get up there tho :(


Sadly they didn't time the practice at all (or at least, not publicly.) so there's no real idea of who's going quick. Of course the usual suspects are looking fast, Neil, Lee and Ellis. Tomorrow morning we'll see for sure though.

Jimmy your doing a great job!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

Wonder when the new Yok shaft drive will be available? Presumably it's a race spec version of their new Bmag!!

Keep up the good work Jimmy!

Yeah it looks it, he has the Dub-C 46 stickers on the window

Didnt he use the same shell at the 06 euros?

Is it much more expensive to call someone whilst in italy?

If you are calling them on their mobile in Italy and you are in the UK it won't cost you any more than usual. The receiving party will pay the additional cost.

So call away :lol:

Your Dad is down here in the bar at the moment, putting the world to rights. I am guessing that Grant has retired to continue his superstardom tomorrow. He's put in some good runs today and I believe is in the top 20, but hasn't been on form to make top 10 overall. Two more qualifying rounds tomorrow, lets see if he can win it with piespeed :thumbsup:

[Mrs oOple]

Am i missing something or is the report from day 2 not up yet?

I think you are missing a lot of things Ben, but as for the report from day 2, it's still being tweaked (by Jimmy). I did some right proper ace stuff today, but Jimy thinks it is all bullpoo so is currenty deleting it all. I'm sure it'll be ace when he has Jimmified it though.

[ben]

Ace thanks vicky:thumbsup:. Hows LeE-mAg doing?

Ben

[Mrs oOple]

Really really bad. He's off his pups though, so it's ok.

Well done Guys, Cant wait for the report later, Anyone know how Mr Barny ard has got on?

[R666REW]

Your Dad is down here in the bar at the moment, putting the world to rights. I am guessing that Grant has retired to continue his superstardom tomorrow. He's put in some good runs today and I believe is in the top 20, but hasn't been on form to make top 10 overall. Two more qualifying rounds tomorrow, lets see if he can win it with piespeed :thumbsup:


thank you miss oople that what i wanted to know

[Belsten]

well done boys :thumbsup:

[Wicked-Wayz]

Is there any live coverage of this event at all. Oople's coverage is great but I mean audio & video.

Congratulations on another one Neil !

Well done everyone ! and me for my first big euros trophy! It's about twice the size of Toms! :thumbsup:

I wish I could do 'live' like last year, but I can't afford (justify) live coverage because I don't make money doing it - so I have to come back to the hotel :(

[Body Paint]

Well done to all the Brits :thumbsup: Neil must be the most winningist European ever, perhaps Paul W could get his calculater out and let us know :)

I think Tommy C is becoming my hero :lol:

[emzy]

Yaaaaay!!

Haha, my heart was quite literally jumping reading through this thread... I almost didn't want to look at who won the third leg.

HUUUUUGE congrats to everyone in the A... but obviously especially Neil and Paul!

[MattW]

Think he'll need some more - suspect it's still Craig. Think Jukka got close but didn't quite get there.

Well done to all the Brits :thumbsup: Neil must be the most winningist European ever, perhaps Paul W could get his calculater out and let us know :)

I think Tommy C is becoming my hero :lol:

Or maybe i'm just rambelling on with no obvious purpose!!!

[matdodd]

Ye well done to all the guys out there, you did us all proud :thumbsup:

[matt]

it looks like the vintage Cragg bodyshell did him Proud

I wonder if its the same shell he used at the worlds there:eh?:

[tyreman]

Well done Guys, Cant wait for the report later, Anyone know how Mr Barny ard has got on?

Qualified 9th in the E and finished 4h or 5th

[Body Paint]

i'm sure Craig won well over 10, possibly 14?

[stegger]

Off the EFRA site.;)


European Championship 1:10 Electric Off-Road 2WD 1989

Booth, J.

[nobby]

most euros titles:

dave spashett 13 in 3 classes (4 world titles)
craig drescher 11 offroad (so close loads of times)
jukka steenari 8 offroad (2 world titles)
neil cragg 7 offroad (1 world title)


apart from jukka i think the uk has been very dominant in most classes over the years apart from 8th onroad & offroad.

Lee Martin to win 4WD

whats everyone else think?

[Sebastian]

Lee Martin to win 4WD

whats everyone else think?

Hupo

or

The German Guy (go for it Jörn!)

or

None of the two :p

[millzy]

Ellis or Lee I think

would say doughty 100% but your not there AGAIN"!!!!!!!!

[Kopite]

Drescher for me

[Bathy]

Lee Martin to win 4WD

whats everyone else think?

Mr Neil Cragg for the double using the new Yokomo :thumbsup:

[PredaTom]

mmmm....that's hard to say...
I think the driving style of Lee suits well to the track but... Hupo is really fast too...
Joern will be at the top, but I do not see him fighting for the victory. Ditto for Neil.

And I like to think that perhaps, there will be a MiD44 in A final!!!:thumbsup: Go Tonio gooooo!!

[millzy]

Lee told me at the last national that his b44 is really good on dirt, and he has been over on international soil a lot this year so he could do it...but that x5 of Ellis is runnig very well right now.

[ben]

Neil for the win, pidge 2nd and bradders 3rd :thumbsup:

[Chrislong]

One thing for sure, its going to be fast and close.

Hope TomC does a doube A final by making top 10 in 4wd too. and I do hope Ellis can bring home the big pot for X-factory. :thumbsup::)

To pick a winner is tough, but its bound to be between Neil, Pidge, Bradders, Hupo purely due to there dirt experience (tracks, not women), and I have got to predict Ellis being el-rapido as nobody can deny how bleedin' quick he is with the X-5 on any track. :thumbsup:

[dancoog]

just to let you guys know there is a few spy shots of the new Yokomo on a little french site..

[millzy]

la link please

[PredaTom]

[wezzer]

where???? cant see it
:o
doh!!! found it lol

[Bathy]

Let’s face it, the world’s BX looks so much nicer than the new B-MAX4 Yokomo, but then a car doesn’t have to look nice/bling to be a winner, I prove this every national coming last with the best looking car!!

I'd have my work cut out trying to ‘bling’ this new shaft drive B-MAX4 Yoke; it’s got a definitive lack of blue alloy/any alloy on it, however would obviously be a more attractive car as Euro champ on its first outing.

I need to learn to look beyond ‘attractiveness’ it’s ‘personality’ that counts, not just how pretty a car is… or was that something to do with women?

Good luck to all the UK 4wd drivers and thanks Jimmy and Vicky for all your hard work keeping us up-to-date with wot-go-on.


Oh Jimmy… I'm going to be cheeky, can you see if you can get me one of the ‘long’ belt covers shown on the worlds BX, I’ve got a belt cover but these guys seem to have ones that stretch the length of the rear belt… steal me one! ta :)
