Default Back from Nurburgring

Thanks for another awesome trip : ^Nutter^ & Dingy (RS500), Oli & Slacky (Red S1), Wil & Mark (Shaguar XKR), LeeR21 & Lambchop & Ben (Renault 21 turbo) and Pagey (grey S2), who drove me there


some pics :

Our arrival














Jonno's choice of springs didn't quite sit right The black on the arch is what used to be the sidewall You are fearless Jonno! or plain crazy lol




Probably the most favoured weapon of choice at the Ring











Jonno's MEA




Pagey's S2 - handled awesome on the same coilovers as mine



Oli's S1




Jonno getting done by a people carrier lol


A few repairs and improvements going on lol










Uprated engine mounts by JC Motorsport



Went for a swift beer with Dingy, Ben and Lambchop - which turned into 2..


then onto the bigger bottles




KIM KNOWS THE REST LOL

Lee's Renault 21 Quadra



Oli's parked up towards the end of the day


Our hotel owners 350Z







Still there from the first trip and last easter






Jonno, what can you say


steak on a stone




Notice the knives on the hot plate in this pic - which were used to 3rd degree burn me on the hand




Slacky rented this for the day on Sunday - Well driven Slacky better than the Noble

After a fast lap in the Shaguar!! What a car lol








En route home - minus Lee and the 21




Slacky, Oli and Dingy - after telling us they hadn't made it onto the ferry and we had to go back for them




Wanna go back with grey in September again now

Cheers guys. Had a great time, think it's just starting to catch up with me now. Knackered today

Neil@FastFord & Rad Not sure the end result on Lee's. Pagey and I thought it was in front with Nutter and didn't know it had died until we got a phone call Hope he gets it sorted

dave cos4x4 Wish i'd got a lap in with you in that Clio Lol, was going well when we went watching at Brunnchen


the original Hiya - yeah i remember it Top car that That wasn't my grey S2, it's Pagey's - went really well, not 1 problem the whole trip and he gave it more beans than i would have on the way out there. Did him proud Would like to take mine back now

125scouse Yeah nice to see you in the car park. The clio was cool

foreigneRS Didn't spend as much time in the car park this time as when i took my own car. Was either driven about by our lot or straight out as a passenger

Enjoyed every lap, all good in there own way. Jonno had a great lap first thing saturday morning, best i've seen him drive
AndyR was flying. There are parts i know i brake before as they are a bit blind and he was flat out through them
The Shaguar XKR had firey brakes on it's first lap 4 up it went even better apparently
Pagey's s2 went really well to
Went out with Slacky for 2 laps in the rented BMW, both quick well driven laps

That would be the one, I went to a "cruise" sometime ago and he parked it on a kerb just where everyone had to drive in so they HAD to have a good look.

At the time I believe they hadn't been out long so it was a rather tasty looking car

Cheers Lou Lou Thanks for the lift back as well, fez is cool

We only took 5 cars this time Stu, as opposed to 9 last time as Slacky, Dingy and myself who usually drive, went as passengers, so fewer spare seats cos of that.
Would go as a passenger again sometime, as enjoyed my car loads last time, so didn't miss not taking it
