Just make sure whatever you use is within 2 years of servicing, with date showing. They only seem interested in the dates not so much the type and mine is a Lifeline.

**Tim Falce** · 26 Jun 2009, 13:54 (Ref:2491090)

Can we use our own transponders or do we have to use theirs?

Cliff Ryan · 26 Jun 2009, 15:05 (Ref:2491126)

Hi Tim, I just spoke to Barry, who is unsure, so he said bring your own transponder!
Best,
Cliff

**Peter Mallett** · 26 Jun 2009, 15:19 (Ref:2491133)

FWIW, I take my own every year and then pay them to rent one. I suspect mine works fine but its possibly a tax on overseas competitors. Its around a tenner so I try not to get upset.

If you are using the "Red" MST version,it should be fine.

**Peter Mallett** · 26 Jun 2009, 19:53 (Ref:2491320)

Mine's a red MST version.

But your not going.Mine is just that,its what we used last year.

**Peter Mallett** · 27 Jun 2009, 09:01 (Ref:2491503)

I know but I always have to rent one, which was my point.

I think its a similar thing to paying for the pit garage key syndrome Peter.
If the MST one works on Saturday,then why not Sunday?

**Peter Mallett** · 27 Jun 2009, 09:19 (Ref:2491514)

You have to get them at sign on.

Yep,been there

Cliff Ryan · 30 Jun 2009, 17:13 (Ref:2494007)

I've just had to cancel - so won't be there - hope to make the six hour meet though - enjoy!

**Peter Mallett** · 30 Jun 2009, 17:27 (Ref:2494015)

Bad luck. See you in September. However if you want to do a bit of racing try the MGCC International, there's still space for the two driver 30 mins races.

That's a bummer Cliff, I was looking forward to seeing your car plus it'll make Barry's race less interesting with all those Crossles in it.

terence · 30 Jun 2009, 20:10 (Ref:2494101)

I'm out as well,things did'nt happen that I was told would!! Hey Ho,such is life!!!!

Moosehead · 30 Jun 2009, 20:25 (Ref:2494110)

Cliff, Terence, thats a shame. Next time eh!

Eddy V · 30 Jun 2009, 21:06 (Ref:2494134)

Wot? All staying at home so that you do not have to offer me tea? Nice!

Shame really, on a serious note.

I think you will find the transponder is free , the ten euros is for the bracket!

[QUOTE=terence bower;2489137]I think the officials should be doing the buying,besides,we're giving them something to do at the best race circuit in the world!

Shame you've had to drop out. We've just finished loading the RV and are raring to go - just have to get through tomorrow's heatwave in London!

It would be good to catch up with some 10 Tenths folk - Jon and I are in the CSCC paddock with the white and twin blue stripe GT6 - come and say hello

TR8ER#7 · 30 Jun 2009, 23:11 (Ref:2494195)

OK Dave - I'll make sure I say hello.

I've just finished preping the car. Lots of tidying and packing-up still to do.

Yeah,sorry Eddy,B&B booked,ferry booked and then you get let down!
Still,it looks like I will be coming over before the six hour,if there is enough time I could always buy you a beer to compensate for the tea.For those going,have an excellent w/end.

Ah yes, the licence is held as ransom for the transponder.

No you don't Tim, as Eddy says if you give a VAT number they should not have charged you, this is legal and I have checked it out I do have to fill in a small form once a quarter listing EU vat exempt sales though so GRP should have done that IF you can give them the ligit VAT number.
