Default Euro Ford Event/Nurburgring Pics

What an awsome long weekend!

A total of 1268 miles was covered, with an average of 270 miles from a full tank of optimax.

Worked on Friday until 4:30pm, drove from Bangor to Wrexham to meet up with a mate. Had a short 3 hour kip before starting the long trek to Dover. Got over in 1 hour 25 mins on the ship, then sprinted off from Calais to the hotel in Heerlen, Holland. Met some quality lads on the boat with a pair of Escort Cossie's, but they went on a slower pace to the hotel lmao

Since our room was on ground floor, we managed to wedge the cars just by the patio doors of our room, so then it was just a matter of filling the bath with water and running backwards and forwards with buckets....that, whilst having a mad session with Bavaria lager! Nice! lmao Had to leave a note the next morning to the cleaners appologising for the mess! lmao

The show was pretty impressive, so much more to offer than U.K. I thought....mainly because ur able to race others and have your car timed on the 8th of a mile strip for FREE!!! As many goes as you wanted!

After the show we returned to the hotel for another mad night, before braking a few pool table cue's and glasses (by accident lmao) and having an early night before Mondays all dayer at the Nurburgring!

What can I say, it was a scary track. For those that know the track well, they had some balls fair play! Its weird how 14 miles does not seem that long...but daaaaam was it REALLY long! lmao So 4 laps were done between us, which is 56 miles each!

So all in all, quality 3-4 days away. I advise everyone to do it next year!

(Most of the photo's are on me mates camera, as I didn't have a big enough memory card in mine )


on the ship...



What could be seen of the show ground while thousands of cars were waiting to get in...





This RS has been a bit of a topic on here for a while. I can tell it was an awsome machine, and the wheels were pretty perfect IMO...



Waiting to move around to the sprint section...









Here's a few others. Thought this Fiesta airbrushing was awsome, funny as hell! lmao





Notice the...well, bench the driver sits on....not very safe! lmao














Videos

Here's a short video, a bit of the ending missing as the camera ran out of space, of me killing a Grandad!

And me mate Phil and his Zetec Turbo getting a bit of a problem with putting the power down against a mad launching Saph, almost caught him too!

Nurburgring

Can't upload the pics, but check out this page http://www.8200rpm.com/webcam/index.php and click on the 10/9/07 and look at pics 1307, 1350 and 1351.

Best part of the trip, to have the right to have one of these that havn't come off ebay!
