Looks very very good, didn't know you had some track time in the trip too, brilliant.
The Sept meeting is simply the very very best esp if the weather is kind.
Done it 3 times now, giving it a rest this year.
Be ready for a LOT bigger crowd.

It was rammed on the Saturday. A lot of the pics are from Friday which was practice day and much much quieter.911hillclimber wrote:Looks very very good, didn't know you had some track time in the trip too, brilliant.

Re: Spa Classic , 22nd - 24th May 2015
What an absolutely cracking weekend - such a great laugh, superb, brilliant, amazing track laps, weather perfect, Spa looked fantastic and out with some of my best mates in the whole world..... just a few photos from me as there are so many brilliant ones on here already.
And thanks for all the best wishes for the future from everyone - I thought Chris was being a bit of a pussy with all that emotional stuff and then I choked up myself this morning saying goodbye on the ferry. I'm going to miss you all very much, but will be back in a few years....thanks for all the brilliant road-trips so far and the friendship and camaraderie and practical help during my rebuild. You really are a fantastic group of people.....and the world needs more people like us....

This is a rubber mark on my wing from a massive piece of rubber that was flicked up by a car in front of me !!

This is Eau Rouge....you can see why it gets its name....

The boys this morning after a pretty heavy weekend....

Great line-up in the pits, just before we all set off

See you all soon - keep on posting the photos - will be watching enviously from afar....I was very touched by this on the car this morning - for those of you who don't know, I'm going to work for McDonalds in Singapore.....It will stay on the car for a while

I'm sat here in my room offshore reading this. I so wish I could have joined you all. It looks like you had a ball. At least I can look at your pics and read about what you got up too.
Until next time.

Re: Spa Classic , 22nd - 24th May 2015
Another very enjoyable trip with great group of people......even though I have left my car somewhere in Belgium! Hopefully it will be returned at some stage soon for work on the clutch and probably the overdue gearbox and engine rebuilds!
Thanks to everyone for demonstrating the DDK spirit once again and making sure I wasn't left stranded, particularly Russ and Paul for turning back to help get me to a safer place to leave the car while recovery was arranged. But a huge Thank You to Richard for driving me all the way home in his beautiful targa....that journey has certainly helped me decide it's time to sort out my car's engine and gearbox by experiencing just how fantastically his car drives.
More great memories made and look forward to the next trip.

No pictures from me, was enjoying the view and the company too much...couldn't ask for a finer bunch of travel companions, as usual the best solution to taking your mind off work and the daily grind...my brother enjoyed it enough to possibly come again..!
Richard/Chris....enjoy the travels...we'll miss you for sure, but the worlds a small place so I can't see any reason why we won't be doing it all again soon.!!
Richard...will be in touch next time I'm in Singapore...
Take it easy guys

Bonhams premiums are normally 25% (+VAT for vatable goods!!) aswell....bloody expensive to sell/buy through....they make a massive chunk on every sale
