The OffoOple Euros Thread
 

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:

This thread is a bit quiet:eh?:

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.

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

Will you go to the track on the sat tony?

i'm not going:(
but best of luck to all the brits:thumbsup:

yeah i will prob just to have look round.. not that much will have changed since we last went.......:D

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:

If you need a hand Jimmy give me a shout :(

or do Proxy work

haha, there is that - might have to be modeling stuff up and testing the game whilst trackside.. :)
Oh well, we'll see I guess.

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. :-)

Which hotel are you Brits going to be at? Hotel InterPorto, as us Spaniards?

Hotel rivoli :thumbsup:

Well i am sad to say i will not be abel to go to the Euros =(
To much work and a sale of our fammily company is stopping me.

this was the high point of my year =(

:cry::cry::cry:
gutted!!
Sorry to hear that Daniel, you'll have to make it over to a worksop race or something:thumbsup:
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!)

What else do i have Jimmy, am i allowed to show customs what is in the boxes.

What should i say when they ask, did you pack this yourself :o :woot:

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

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.

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 :)

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

Filetto di pesce e patatine, per favore:D

Remember that fish and chips isn't a worldwide known dish :p. If you want a good and cheap way to eat in Italy ask for a TRATTORIA;): dove è la trattoria più vicina?
or ask, of course, for a pizzeria!

jimmy likes his food dry :woot:

So does my dog:lol:

There's that sauce muck, cheeZe and possibly even some green madness on it! are they mad? Dry all the way :thumbsup::wtf:

Security jacket
 

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

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

Cruise.
