Talking The OffoOple Euros Thread

We dont have one of these bad boys yet

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.

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?

We're getting there thursday so will have a bit of a chill out first!
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.

I just found out I didn't book off the euros from work! 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 might have to do a proxy report and have someone take a couple of snaps or somet

Jimmy,

You HAVE to go.

It's just not the same with out you there!

BTW I'm heading on the train this time (well and bus). Bus from Dublin to London the train from London to Paris, Paris to Turin.

Still haven't got the bag sorted from the worlds in Japan!

MiCk B. :-)

Sorry to hear that Daniel, you'll have to make it over to a worksop race or something
I got my holiday off from work now, so I'll be there from Thursday this week. Just giving my racing stuff to Glyn Ward tonight, and Lee's got some bits (the all important banners!)

haha, if they ask say it's yours!!!! I don't know anything about it


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 and so I can scope the mcdonalds out.

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
