  1. Hi Gary

    It appears you are using a VPN and the IP addresses it is choosing are heavily spammed, therefore the spam filters (are quite rightly) protecting the site.
    Unfortunately, this is the reason you are experiencing issues with posting....but at least the posts have now been filtered and being approved as genuine
     

  2. UPDATE!

    Please find attached your club label (link below) –  Please ensure that you print this label and display it in the windscreen upon entry to the event, this ensures that all members wishing to park within your club area are directed to the correct parking location by our stewards. Please do not modify or add logos to the club label.

    We do ask that all individuals have purchased their tickets on an individual basis in advance via our website, to speed up the entry process on the day.
    This can be done on our website here until 2pm on the day when admission closes

    * Tickets are per person, so please ensure that all persons arriving are covered by a ticket.

    Please note, we do ask clubs to arrive by 10.30am and if members have not arrived by then club spaces will be allocated to general participant parking.

  3. Will certainly look into that Gareth....I'm sure we're not the only forums to have members ghost the site once they have read the response.
    Also, wonder whether many members use the email to register but not always visit their mailbox to check for responses

    Point taken. Most people opt for receiving an e-mail alert when someone posts a reply - I think, but perhaps Trevor can confirm that. 

    Members can opt to receive notifications depending on their preferences....mostly when they post a thread or reply then they will get a notification

  5. Event update from Beaulieu Motor Museum 

    Quote

     

    We are disappointed to announce that we have had to take the difficult decision to postpone the first three Beaulieu Simply Rallies of the year, Simply Aston Martin (7th April), Simply Audi (14th April) and Simply Italian (21st April).

    As you will be aware, we have had well above average rainfall during the start of this year, and with more forecast, we are concerned that we will not be able to confidently park the number of participants booked for each of the three rallies within our event parkland.

    As the organiser for a club attending Simply Audi, we understand that you would have been eagerly anticipating this event and we share your disappointment. However, the safety and enjoyment of our attendees is extremely important to us, and we believe that postponing these events to later in the year is best course of action given the circumstances.

    The new date for Simply Audi is Sunday 14th July 2024.

    All ticket holders will be contacted in due course, but we are pleased to confirm that all existing bookings will remain valid for the rearranged dates.

    We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank you for your continued support.

    We look forward to welcoming you back to Beaulieu later in the year.

     

     

  6. Yes, will definitely enlighten you with the planned trip (when finances allow) and will definitely look forward to riding on roads that I have to concentrate so hard on avoiding obstacles and just enjoy the scenery.

    Was flashed in Germany but never got a ticket, in France I have been stopped and (illegally) fined by the corrupt police force there 😞

    I will post in the Road Trips section as could do with kick-starting that one up again

  7. Great write up Frank and thanks for sharing it with us

    I too have done a similar route on my motorbike through Ypres onto Black Forest and into Bavaria then Austria before heading into Italy.....what amazing roads is all that can be said and the views are second to none!

    Brings back some great memories and is strongly convincing me to plan another European road trip, thanks!

  8. Hi Steve, so sorry to hear of the demise of your Audi in such a bizarre way 😞 but at least no one was injured.

    Our neighbour had an A6 a few years ago that ended up in the neighbours hedge over the road, same thing....applied the handbrake, went indoors and only found it the next morning. One thing that surprised me was that the alarm had not activated (e.g. movement sensors, etc) when it was merrily rolling down the road or across the forecourt.

    On the subject of parts, it is not just Audi and cars in general, motorbikes are a leisure industry and therefore replacement bike parts are incredibly extortionate through the manufacturer. Luckily, there are many aftermarket suppliers for spares and can usually find the part at a bargain price through eBay and such like.
    But 'badge engineering' is rife and makes such as Ducati (who incidentally are owned by Audi, I believe) are off the scale when it comes to parts and servicing.

    Good luck with your search for a replacement car and it would be great to see you stay in the forums to continue imparting your knowledge to others.

  9. I hate to bring bad news to the table but I have come across this before on a Mini (BMW version) where the car was in a flood and based in Cornwall where this is common. The car was subsequently written off and should never have been resold as damage occurs to the electronics and numerous other areas.
    It is impossible to get out of the seats and also carries bacteria which can affect your breathing.

    If this is the case it will be accompanied by a pungent smell and also things like the seat runners can be corroded making it difficult to move back and forward.
    If the car has ever spent time in flood areas in Cornwall then you should investigate further
