Student Gumball!

Me and a few from college may enter.

Metro Gti with a small modification

Lashout_UK · 25 Apr 2006 at 18:07

I could enter in that ...1998cc's

Well it looks as if they will let cars in that are greater than 2 litres, but they seem to be doing that on a case by case basis. They're just trying to keep a studenty feel to it thats all.

Interested to hear what they say to you Fox, as your car will be worth several thousands of pounds unlike mine which isn't even worth 1k.

530i Sport = approved

See i said it was worth a shot!

They said the rules are there to stop people taking the mick and entering Ferrari's etc.

Seeing as its a car enthusiast kinda thing, youd of thought theyd be more specific on the topic of the cars wouldnt you?

No chance of me getting the Hyundai in then

Tbh i never bothered e-mailing, but clearly they'd 100% let my car in. Unfortunately my best mate goes back to uni on the 4th of September, so he wouldn't be able to come with us. So we're going to do our own little Euro road trip ourselves, stopping off at the Nurburgring for sure.

Jaguar XJ6 also approved. Am getting in contact with friends to sort this out, its looking positive though, got 2 people quite interested already...

Hopefully, because its university students/graduates only... there won't be *too* many undesireables

Definitely great value, with 5 people its gonna cost less than £500, and thats assuming 25MPG and lots of food and drink...

This looks awsome id love to do this! Cant really afford it though, and i dont know how long the valver would last for before something will blow up

triggerthat · 25 Apr 2006 at 22:13

Am up for this. Are we going to have an OCUK team? My 1.4 I don't think would cut it.

If you get like 2 other people and divide the cost, it should be good

Chances are i am doing this now, mums given the thumbs up, my mate is also very intreested and wants to do it.

Just gotta sort out insurance and funds (lol

)

For the people who are gonna do this, i wanna see some posts on the road for your lappies/mobiles using thoughs millions of unsecured WAPs. I suspect there will be some funny old drunken antics going on!

Jonnycoupe · 26 Apr 2006 at 13:36

I guess me and a few mates could jump in Simons Rover, we're all recent grads.

I think he'd need a longer 5th gear though.

Psycrow · 26 Apr 2006 at 15:49

Think I'll enter this next year since thats when I finish uni, seems a good way to end the year. Mates wanting to take his 530d with some people and I'll have an Integra by then so it should be a decent laugh.
Anyone here actually registered and definatly going?

Clarkey · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:17

reckon they'd let me take my 300z? I could argue its not a sports car (which it isnt), its a GT car

t_aitch · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:32

Thinking about getting a 200sx s14a over the summer, so that will be suitable.

I graduate in the summer so will that be ok?

yep have to of been at uni within the last two years.

panthro · 26 Apr 2006 at 18:19

I graduated in July 2004. What do you reckon the chances are of them letting me in? Worth emailing them? They seem to bend the rules on the 2000cc limit....
