Im not sure on what the standard zetec head flows easily, bet it can do 300bhp no bother though!

 

thats pretty much bang on as far as im aware chip, well done lol

 

which hotel did you stay at last time stu?

 

hahah... and its got NOTHING to do with the AMAZING drive to the hotel from the ring huh

That was PROPER fun!

 

try doing it pissed up in the backseat of your own car whilst rainbum tried to see if he can still "hang it" with RWD

 

the drive to and from the hotel was awesome... although for some reason i just couldnt master the tight left hand bends...... we were in fit laughing that i could fly round the right handers but not the left!!

Was a great trip last year!

And thank you for all the offers of passenger seats guys!!!

 

so many jokes...

...so little time

 

I would love to go to the ring but at present i have a 90hp ford focus that doesnt corner very well

 

Shut it trappy!



twoblacklines - it doesnt matter what ya have honey! just the drive over there, watching people go round, a fw passenger laps with different people and the evening are well worth the drive over!

 

Is Ryan gonna go again this year? Get pissed right up and get lost again?

I so hope I get my new toy on Sunday, I'll be there with bells and whistles!

 

Rich, I can see you watching, make sure you bring the Saph!

 

Hotel Park Schloss about 15 miles away. Awesome drive! Shame Lee couldnt keep up with my me in the Audi.

 

Lovely hotel & awesome food

 

I would love to go on the 2009 trip but i'm affraid other holiday's have been booked and the funds will not stretch to a Ring Trip

Last year was the muts nuts, whoever had the idea of going in May deserves a badge!

Polly X - Thanks for inviting us to your hotel this year the food and the drive there was awesome!

Going to be gutted that I wont be there next year, but hopefully absence makes the heart grow fonder???????????

 

hmmm now do I take:

Porsche 928
Turbo Mini
Track golf





Maria,

I know the porsche is yellow and you HATE all yellow cars - but its nice and comfeeeee!

 

Makes 2 of us Daz

 

Sad times boys

The ferry crossing won't be the same without you...

" Six and Four.... Nintendo!!!!"

 

It's one place i have always wanted to go to as well, think i managed to talk Dave into it last night

 

There's only one word for that bingo caller - LEGEND!!

Will miss the trip and to be honest miss the banter/antics more!

Never thought knock a door run on a ferry at 3am at the age of 25 would be so funny! Good Times!

 

don't worry about it,one of my mates from work wants to bring his 1.1 mk3 fiesta,that was 45hp when new

 

Alex -

 

Hmmmmmm decisions decisions a busy Nordschleife with great nightlife with heaps of time for socialising or a less busy time with more focus on quality time out on the ring? Either way im sure we'll make it accross at least once next year

 

The busy track with socialising, good food and nights out wins hands down every single time for me. The group of people last year was just ace. Just everything about the trip was good. Good convoy, good hotel, good food, good babysitters!!

 

How much is the hotel everyone goes to ?

i estimate ill need about £1k to go ? and possibly new 14" tyres

 

I for one that will miss you both not there next year as you both made my trip for me boys !!!!

 

Best bingo call ever possibly?

I really want to go. Like realllly, but wanted to do other stuff next year.

The next time i go i want to take a car of my own aswell and the poxy diesel Boring Borat would need alot of pennies spending on it to make it 'Ring worthy!

 

tbh depends how you are and the car too, my car done 4 laps to a tank so fuel and the ring ticket was about 300 euros i thinkish

get someone to tag along and half the cost of the hotel/fuel/laps is a idea perhaps

i done 1500 quid this year but think i done it on a grand last year

 

i did it on 800 quid but that was just for me. did 14laps and 6 tanks of fuel.

 

I'd be up for it again

Last year was cracking fun

 

I'll take the fiesta next year now ive got a bit more spare income.

I have to.

 

you left a day early too,, which are RIP OFF hotel was charging 85 euros a night !!!!

aint gonna be there next year thats for sure !!!

 

ill be up for this if i can get passengers, i have 2 who are up for it but i need 1 more for me to be able to afford it

 

It'd be nice to have some company too

 

left sheffield saturday morning 6am. 12pm dover-dunkirk ferry. got to nurburg saturday tea time. did the ring sunday and monday. left nurburg 6am tuesday morning. 12pm ferry dunkirk-dover. home for tea.

ferry was £48 return. hotel was 65euros a night. 15 laps was 235euros.
6 tanks of fuel about £300. plus food and drink

guessing they charged you 85euros a night cos there was 2 of you? even though there were 2 beds in my room.

 

how do you guys spend so much money

me and paul went over in aug and i pretty sure i never spent over 500 quid, thurs to monday night

but then we didn't go clubbing, but did eat out every night, but again they weren't 5* places

or you just have fuel hungry carsm, and posh hotels

 

Spiky - I like to do 40 laps......

 

1000 quid for a weekend easily goes without excessive spending on food or any posh hotels IMHO.

Especially if you allow for the fact you will more than likely use up most of the tread on a 300 quid set of tyres or whatever.

 

spiky, i easily spent more than 500quid on fuel and laps (did 4 TANKS of fuel in 1 day)

but then on the first few trips you wont be doing 20+ laps in a weekend unless youre mental

 

yeah, true

i think the amount of accidents the weekend i went, put me off a little, plus i had a suspension knock on hard cornering plus not knowing ANY of the track, had me liking the trip, but i played the sensible card

 

Mental?

Nah its just fun - my record is 8 laps on the bounce!
