Euros Thread

[jimmy]

Hands up if your flight has been cancelled after sitting at the departure gate for 6.5 hours and you are stuck in a hotel and the euros is looking less and less likely.

Just me then ?

:(

Euros Page - Will be updated when possible
http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2006/

[DCM]

your joking!!! when u got to be there for Jim?

[jimmy]

Wish I was joking, at least its a nice hotel. Just worried about whether I'll even be going to the Euros at all now.

[DCM]

What was the reason for flight Delay Jim, security or just shear backlog?

[RobHatcliffe]

Are you at Manchester airport Jimmy? - I heard things were getting back to more like 'normal'

[Northy]

Jimmy, what a total twat! I'll drive you if I can have your place! ( only joking, wish I icould race).

G

[PaulRotheram]

unsure what jimmy is doing atm, but he said to me the airport told them there was a fault with the plane and they was getting an engineer from birmingham to come down :o

[Northy]

unsure what jimmy is doing atm, but he said to me the airport told them there was a fault with the plane and they was getting an engineer from birmingham to come down :o

With a bit of ali sheet and a pop rivet gun? :o They're all patched up! :D

G

[jimmy]

Yeah something wrong with the plane aparently, really poor communication from the airline I have to say. Vicky is looking for other flights - gonna try get on an early flight tomorrow or see if KLM will put us on a BA direct flight (yeah, right, we can dream).

Hope glyn is looking after my gear! He'll be using the cameras if i cant go! haha:p

Yea rob, its manchester airport, were stuck here with sky high BOOZE prices too, if you feel like making an offie run for us, give me a shout! haha!!

[PaulRotheram]

just seems strange to me.. other racers have been cancelled at other airports, and been told they cannot be certain their planes will fly. and manchester say they are fixing a plane, using an engineer from birmingham.. whats wrong with the ones they have got?!

all this while tony blair is on holiday :rolleyes:

hope its all sorted for you in the morning jimmy.

[PaulRotheram]

seems mcgee's plane is now cancelled too.. coincedence? :confused:

[RobHatcliffe]

Sorry Jimmy I'd love to perform an emergency booze drop for you but I'm on my 2nd bottle of Merlot already. Reckon my racing at Bury Metro could be a wee bit random tomorrow!

Seriously, I hope things get sorted for you and all the other euro bound racers.

[DCM]

just been reeding the beebs website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4787733.stm and they are on about cancelling up to a third of Sundays flights to allow security checks to be carried out.

[jimmy]

nightmare! might be back in work monday then if stuff aint good tomorrow, i dont fancy turning up half way thru the euros.

[DCM]

you can always do the 4wd event I guess?? But think positive

[DCM]

Have Jim and Danny managed to get a flight yet??

[MattW]

Think Danny, Cree and Reevesey (who were flying together and sharing room) are on their way via Euro tunnel and a good ol road trip!

[DCM]

cool, thanks Matt

[PaulRotheram]

I'm assuming Jimmy n' Vicky have gone to the Euros as they said last night they would contact me if anything went wrong. I've heard nothing yet so its looking good for them.

[Northy]

Hope so too. Has the spoon made it? :confused:

G

[PaulRotheram]

I think I remember you saying greenwood has it? If so I saw him on web msn earlier, assume he's made it alive, along with the smuggled spoon :D

[jimmy]

I'm here I'm here. This keyboard is mad so forgive my lack of punctuation. Got a flight at 6am this morning after 4 hours sleep in our posh hotel, so, at least we're here. Got some photos of the track just as it was getting dark but can't upload them just yet :(

Track looks great but a bit wet, hopefully it'll be dry tomorrow.


*edit* Don't worry Jimmy, your friendly neighbourhood grammarator is here to save you any punctuation-related embarassment... ahem!

[tc2k]

Glad you're there safe and sound Jimmy. Get some good pics and hope you have a great few days there ;)

[PaulRotheram]

Here's the link to the Euros page:

http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2006/

It will hopefully be updated when Jimmy can get some internet access so no bitching for updates :p

I'm glad you're there safe and sound Jim, hope you have a good time.

[jimmy]

updated the lil report with a couple of photos.. had to do it stealth style on the free computer at the hotel ! tee hee. SHHhhhhhh:D

[PaulRotheram]

Crazy simultaneous posting over different countries :D

[DR VOODOO]

Anybody know how Dan Greenwood did?

[emzy]

Any Body Know How Dan Greenwood Did

The racing hasn't actually started yet... although I assume Dan got there! (all this travelling madness... I only got back from Gran Canaria at midnight... pfff!)

2wd practice day is tomorrow, qualifying on Tuesday and qualifying / finals on Wednesday.

4wd practice is Thursday, qualifying on Friday and qualifying / finals on Saturday.

Or at least I assume that's right...!

[Northy]

Im here im here. this keyboard is mad so forgive my lack of punctuation. got a flight at 6am this morning after 4 hours sleep in our posh hotel, so, at least were here. Got some photos of the track just as it was getting dark but cant upload them just yet :(

You'll be glad to know the weather is very wet here Jimmy! :(

G

[PaulRotheram]

Blo0 skies and sun here, Northy :D

I prefer blo0 skies to blue :p

[OldTimer]

Dry and sunny here in Leicester, but wet in Vienna looking at one of the webcams :(

[losixxx]

Have you got a link for the webcams please?

[OldTimer]

http://www.wien.gv.at/english/webcam/ and goto the Johann Strauss Monument as you can see the ground and puddles.

http://live1.truelook.com/face/sqface.jsp?name=/srtgermany/truelook2&func=live&overlay=default&width=640&height=480 This one is on the Danube Tower and you can move it about and zoom in etc

[PaulRotheram]

Dry and sunny here in Leicester, but wet in Vienna looking at one of the webcams :(

ooh linky please :D

timing.. again :p thanks!

[Bathy]

I do like the look of that track, loads of fun to be had! Good to hear that you made it in the end Jimmy, be annoying not to have any updates or photos all week, keep the ‘teaser’ pictures coming please :)

Anyone gone mad yet and ramped it?

[Northy]

Jimmy, cheers for the update. Wish I was there. :(

G

[PaulRotheram]

Crazy.. hupo is running a losi. I was told he is running durango 2 + 4wd :confused:

[Northy]

But Paul, we know Losi's kick ass! :D

G

[Barry Williams]

Does anyone know if the there is a live webcast anywhere?
The host club site says it is running a live webcast but have checked the site & it is not available!!!
Help!!

[PaulRotheram]

http://www.rmc-wien.at/ec2006/eurolive.htm

not a webcast.. but it is supplying results.

ignore the EFRA Electric Off Road 2wd Championship 2006 (http://www.rmc-wien.at/ec2006/2wd.htm)link as it is from the warm up.. not the current event.

[jim76]

nice one Paul. Excellent updates. can't belive they didn't start until 2pm?!! finishing at gone 9pm!

can't see a link to that page on their home page.

[footey]

how do u watch it as clicked link but no picture

[jim76]

it's only results race by race and during race.
no live video

[jim76]

pinisch
honigl
cragg

after round 1
drescher & yardy also in top 10

[jimmy]

Yo! sat in a internet cafe in some place waiting for my 2nd round of qualifying, I had a terrible first one! just uploaded some info and lil pics from today.. Will try to upload some BIG 2wd images tomorrow after finals.

[emzy]

Part of the no score crew at the bottom eh! Tschk!

Is it a 3 hour wait? I remember those...

[jimmy]

yeaits quite a wait. I am in the 2nd heat which is on next to last in the 2nd round!. It was cold earlier, now the sun has come out and its roasting. I think that hupo fellow has been fastest all weekend, but its ok because he helped us find the burger king and internet place! They even have a HOOTERS in this complex, how cool is that - evening is sorted.

[jim76]

is it 3 from 5, round by round?

[emzy]

Hooters!! No way! I thought they only had those in ye olde Canada?

Has Hupo met the spoon yet?

[PaulRotheram]

so can we expect a report of the hooters evening too? :D

[jimmy]

is it 3 from 5, round by round?

I think so yes.

[millzy]

what the hell do you do in those long gaps

[PaulRotheram]

Top 10 + BQ for round 2

1 Hubert HÖnigl 0
2 Peter Pinisch 2
3 Neil Cragg 3

9 Roland Macho 9
10 Tom Yardy 10
11 Richard Cree 11

[Northy]

Jimmy, any spoon action yet?

G

[PaulRotheram]

i think the spoon has jacked in the euros and is living in hooters.. abondoned! :p

but yeah, spoon action!

[Richard Lowe]

Jimmy DQ'd in round one :o

http://www.rmc-wien.at/ec2006/statichtml/mtg1/h2r1.htm

What happened? :jimmeh

[footey]

bet he was to busy thinking about hooters lol

[OldTimer]

Photos from Hooters would be cool Jimmy ;)

[Northy]

A spoon mounted to the car? :o

G

[emzy]

Jimmy DQ'd in round one :o

http://www.rmc-wien.at/ec2006/statichtml/mtg1/h2r1.htm

What happened? :jimmeh

What on EARTH! He just said he'd had a rubbish round and had crashed a lot... eh?!

[PaulRotheram]

DQ.. poor driving?:confused:

[jim76]

Think he meant DNF'd!

[emzy]

think he meant DNF'd!

No, he didn't. If you look on the results link he posted, it says disqualified.

[Northy]

Good run by Vermin, not :(

G

[WHITTLER555]

What is happening to Tom Cockerill and Chris Long, both of them seem to be well down the field, hope they are car breakages or such like and not just simply off the pace?:(

[WHITTLER555]

WHERE IS THE SPOON????

Good pics from Jimmy but no spoon action!

I think Whittler555, Stu and Northy will have to visit the Euro's to induce some mad spoonage!

(Obviously we will not be going to Finland next year as half a pint is £5 but roll on 2008!):D

[Northy]

I hate to say Dan and Chris look like they are struggling with the X-6's, that's just from the times.

Tom seems off the pace if you look at his laps.

Have you seen Bradders laps? Possibly fastest of all? :o

G

[emzy]

My Daddy fancies Finland... or Japan!

Neil's getting closer... but can he beat Hupo? He'd better...

[DCM]

is it round by round or FTD??

[Northy]

Round by round, but not sure how many to count, 2 or 3. Showing as 2 after three rounds:

Emily, does your dad think Japan is now part of Europe!!??:p

[PaulRotheram]

japan is the 2007 worlds :p

[Richard Lowe]

Tom seems off the pace if you look at his laps.

Someone tell him it's not a regional :p :D

[Stu]

I'd like to go to Japan, D, should we take both caravans or save on diesel and just take one?

[Stu]

Quote "I'm not sure what they were taking photos of - but it must have been far away!"
Probably taking pictures of Britney Spears' tits on the beach in Barbados with that bad-boy!

[andys]

Heyup Jimmy.

Great job your doing fella, keep up the good work. I keep checking in each day and wishing I was there, maybe one day..... The other half did ask why I hadn't gone ! So looks good for next year.

Good luck to all the Brits out there.

They would have to shoot below her waist now she has had so many kids.:D

[WHITTLER555]

Tour of Mull is sounding more likely than tour of Japan. Do you think we can persuade Duffy to hold the spoon!!!???:D

Do you think Goozer will get it?

[Northy]

Am I invited? :confused:

G

[OldTimer]

I hate to say Dan and Chris look like they are struggling with the X-6's, that's just from the times.

I think you will find that they are struggling with rear grip i would guess, after driven my own mid motor 2wd i find you need plenty of rearing grip and with it being mainly dirt i think this could be the reason, but i could be barking up the wrong tree completely :)

Btw the other photographers are packing some hardware a 600mm f4 cost around £6 grand, i hope Jimmy manages to have a play with one of those lens, i used a 300mm f2.8 at oxon last year, and you just could not move it about to keep up with the cars.

[Northy]

I think you will find that they are struggling with rear grip i would guess......

Yeah, thats what I meant....

G

[Northy]

Jimmy, where's the spoon? :(

G

[OldTimer]

We need Spoon & Hooters photos jimmy ;)

Btw i think this is a cracking shot. http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2006/day2/daytwo13.jpg

[Stu]

Yeah, Spoon randomness please.
Ask this Hupo fella if he likes the spoon & get a pic.

[WHITTLER555]

Stu and Northy, check your email!:)

[PaulRotheram]

aye, whats all this madness with cars, get spoon over to hooters.

:p

[Richard Lowe]

Pidge with a 2 in round 4, looks like Neil had a snapper with 1 lap.

[emzy]

Bit behind there Rich!

[Richard Lowe]

Yeah just noticed the overalls are up :oops: :rolleyes:

Mr Cockerill pulled his finger out :D

Feeling sorry for Yardy :(

[Cooper]

G, tell me about spoon! sounds like a very funny story :D

-Gooo belgium !-

[footey]

do we have any lads in 4wd

[footey]

also final standigs of the 2wd if anyone can tell me where tom finished

[Cooper]

http://www.rmc-wien.at/ec2006/statichtml/mtg1/heatrndsum.htm

Tom in B

[footey]

how did tom end in b as the one above him has a slower time

[footey]

also we got any britsi in the 4wd if so what they driving

[Cooper]

how did tom end in b as the one above him has a slower time

They are probably working with a points system, it also happened to me in the belgian GP. It sucks....

[PaulRotheram]

[pro4nut]

how did tom end in b as the one above him has a slower time

they are working on round by round so its where you finish the round against everyone else not ftd when its the fastest single time. hope that helps

[millzy]

also we got any britsi in the 4wd if so what they driving


Well it would be a waste for them all to go there just for 2wd.

So yes mate we do, and they will be driving the same cars as they do in the Nats.

So Yokomos, BJ4s, XX4s, Preds, X5s and what have you.

[Stu]

Jimmy's report is superb, his commitment to being at the right place at the right time for the pics is obvious to see.
Dissapointing lack of spoonage however.

[Northy]

Disapointing spoonage! :(

Who's got Jimmy's number? Tell him we NEED spoon pictures. People are asking for them! :o :D

G

[zaquiz]

Just gr8 coverage Jimmy! Keep up the good wrk!

[DR VOODOO]

Any word on Dan Greenwood?

[emzy]

Dan was first in the H final.

I'm not sure how he'll be feeling about that to be honest, but from the looks of it, a lot of people haven't done as well as expected!

Results: -

[millzy]

Nice work on the report Jimmy

[DCM]

is it me or are they doing 6min practice sessions?

[Southwell]

Yeah, some got 6 mins.

[Chris Doughty]

I remember running 8 minute sessions in sweeden in 2000,

on dirt even back then you can last so long on your batteries

[AndyG]

Is that Mr Kirk I see on that group photo, or just somebody kneeling down?

I'm guessing he's pitting for somebody.

[emzy]

I'm guessing he's pitting for somebody.

No, he's racing - Heat 2.

He's just had a practice but I assuming he broke it because he only did 2 laps...

[Northy]

Fairly standard form for Kirky then! :D

G

[Northy]

Spoon? :( :( :(

Was it a wasted trip for him? He could have been here with me playing with my rabbit...... :(

G

[Barry Williams]

G
you should've let the spoon come with me & Greg to the juniors, he would've been heavily involved!!!

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Will the spoon be going to the F345 finals at tivvy Mr North (I am)

[Northy]

If someone wants to take him they can, but he takes some looking after. Keep him away from loose women and strong drink, and make sure he eats his greens! :o

G

[Northy]

Live timed practice is running by the way. Good job I'm not busy at work today! :D

G

[Spencer Mulcahy]

If someone wants to take him they can, but he takes some looking after. Keep him away from loose women and strong drink, and make sure he eats his greens! :o

:D

[Northy]

Yeah, my spoon is still alive! :D

Must have been at hooters the last few days! :o

G

[Cooper]

I'm finalle starting to know what Hooters, Spoonage and all the other crazy stuff is....

G, You're crazy dude

[emzy]

1st - Pinisch
2nd - Cragg
3rd - Lee Martin

Couldn't believe it when Honigl crashed while leading on the LAST LAP of the 3rd leg of the A (to give him 2nd)... GUTTED! :)

[MattW]

Wonder why it is i get the feeling that isn't totally sincere :rolleyes: :cool: :D

[jimmy]

updated it dudes. Been a good laugh.. I was sat in the austrian area and they all cheered when cragg binned it in leg 3... I cheered far louder when he took it back tho.. almost got me lynched. :p

[Northy]

Really well done Jimmy, a great report.
I look forward to seeing more pictures when you get back.

G

[Stu]

Mag's are dead.
Looking forward to seeing a full gallery.
G, it remains to be seen if your spoon will appear more, with luck?

[MattW]

Yeah good work Jimmy, some nice pics and good to see reports. I haven't seen any on any other site this year.

[PaulRotheram]

I haven't seen any on any other site this year.

Thats because they have all been coming to see Jimmys report :D

5074 hits in one week and still increasing.. not bad at all I think!

[emzy]

Wonder why it is i get the feeling that isn't totally sincere :rolleyes: :cool: :D

You know me Matt, I'm ALWAYS sincere ;)

[RobHatcliffe]

Jimmy, your reporting has been superb from the first day to the last. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

[paul]

...to the otherwise great report :cool:

the page title should read "Euros 2006 - Austria" (as Austria is a small but independent country - and not a part of France) :rolleyes:

have fun,

paul

p.s.: hope your journey home was less stressy... :)

[emzy]

the page title should read "Euros 2006 - Austria" (as Austria is a small but independent country - and not a part of France) :rolleyes:


I'm sure that was just a typo, rather than Jimmy actually believing he was in a part of France... I mean come on, German sounds NOTHING LIKE French (naturally, French is prettier *runs and hides*)

He was probably just confusing this year and last year, he doesn't know where he is half the time anyway... poor guy! ;)

[jimmy]

LOL @ Austria in france! Bit of a copy / paste HTML error there, surprised no one told me sooner, maybe they actually thought it was in france ? haha:p

[bigred5765]

Just uploading Day 1 photos now - doing them one at a time so at least people get to look at them now, instead of wait till I trawled thru (7 gig of) the photos.

[jimmy]

Just uploading some BIG photos, day 1 big photos are on there now.. I do have a load more photos but might make a lil DVD with them all on- too many to put online.

they are on the main EUROS report at the top btw. http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2006/ (http://www.oople.com/forums/../rc/photos/euros2006/)

[jimmy]

I went and took a few photos of Hupos car and he asked me if I was "oOple", turned out he really liked the site, bit of a surprise as I din't imagine he would have even seen it. Heres the proof tho!

Loving the spoon stuff - more.

[jimmy]

There int loads of spoonage, I was seriously so busy all the time :( but, fear not, there certainly is some AWESOME comedy photos with and without spoonage to come! haha :p

[OldTimer]

We thought that the spoon had got lost in Hooters, as there was little spoon coverage in you report :)

[jimmy]

hehe, I didnt take my cam to hooters, should have done!. Hupo directed us to the place where hooters was, it had loads of stuff in there, before that we were lost for food!

[jimmy]

You look soooooo happy in that photo Jimmy

2wd Euro photos have been excellent looking forward to seeing the 4wd ones, hoping to see some close ups of Lee's and Neil's cars.

[jimmy]

Cheers bathster! Should be some good ones coming from 4WD. Its hard to know which ones to put up - Dont like to put too many online as they take ages to look through and can water down the effect.

[Chris Doughty]

you could put up a normal amount, and then have a 'for hardcore picture lookers only' section for a large amount of the rest, I for sure would be one of the hardcore!

** Hardcore as in devoted to something, not as in the normal term for Hardcore and Internet **

[bbq]

Ace pictures as always Jimmy!

I see that you got a picture of my tractor on the straight :D

I was thinking of putting together a DVD of all the photos for a small fee like I did last year, just to save my time and effort to go through so many photos. Then the hardcore can look at all the original images ! lol. But I will try put up as many as I see appropriate on the website..:)

Hi,
and thank you for your interest on the Euro’06 DVD!
I’m sorry for the delay of the video, but due to a computer break down the production wasn’t possible for 2 weeks. Currently the whole footage, nearly 18 hours, is captured and almost all finals are edited.
I’m looking forward to finishing the video pretty soon. I put on some videos on my website in the meantime. Check out http://www.klemmfilms.com/euro06 (http://www.klemmfilms.com/euro06) A2 Final 2wd and A1 Final 4wd are online.

Thx for those who already ordered the DVD, of course the DVD will be available after production as well.

yours

Flo

Edit: Please give some feedback on the videos and don't hesitate to ask any questions.
