Default :::::::2010 Passionford Ring Trip THIS weekend - UP TO DATE reporting here ::::::::::

All current Ring trip nattering, pics from our travels and updates on our progress and trip can be found here.

Got anything to ask or say regarding the trip ask away or type away in here please. Let's try to keep it to one topic!

Ring Entrance webcam here, this CONSTANTLY live updates, so the pic will change every few mins, hit F5 on your keyboard to refresh it:



If anyone is clever enough to do it, can you do screen grabs and post them up on here if you see us on the webcam? I'll try and post on here what times we'll be going up to the Ring. Here's a piccy of me from last time, caught perfectly by Leecavturbo:



Opening hours are (German time - which is 1 hour ahead of UK I think):

Thurs 21st 6pm - 7.30pm
Fri 22nd 3pm -7.30pm
Sat 23rd 8am - 7.30pm
Sun 24th 8am - 7.30pm
Mon 25th 8am - 7.30pm

If anyone can do a Screen grab (CTRL button, and PRINT SCREEN button, then paste into MS Paint or similar. Save it the new image, then upload it to www.photobucket.com or similar) please please post them up on here if you see us or anything interesting going past the webcam.

Don't copy my image tags above, as it updates constantly (keep refreshing or F5 ing this page for new images every 5 mins or so), so you'll land up with a picture in your text which changes all the time!

Here's who to look out for:


Simon Burroughes - Evo 8 595 bhp Thursday 8am Ferry
Nigel Burroughes - Evo 8 380 bhp Thursday 8am Ferry
Porkie and Maria - Ferrari F430 Spider Thursday 8am Ferry
Chip - Driving Porkie's Blue Clio 182 Thursday 8am Ferry
Dave and Helen - Evo 9 MR FQ 360 in Grey Thursday 8am Ferry
Jim Galbaly and Ginge - Green M3 Evo saloon - Thurs 8am Ferry
Rick, Aga and Paul - BMW 5 series ( I guess?) - Weds PM Hull ferry

I also have some friends over in an R35 GTR, Caterham R400 and E60 M5

For those that remember my last report, a new Ring Trip report for 2010 will be done, complete with budget and tons of pics - old one is here for those that want to read:

https://passionford.com/forum/general...s-of-pics.html

Right, off to bed for an hour or so, that'll be nice

Wish us luck, we'll need it!

Oh, couple pics of my car to help you spot it:

Im SO SO SO fucking gutted i couldnt make it, a bit short notice for me and my uni fucked me around so i would have probably missed it anyway, but it would have been a nice holiday now that ive finished my 2nd year.

If anyone wants a simpler image host you can use mine here http://thesmileyone.co.uk/upload.php

I will try and figure out a way of getting my server to download every new picture refreshed on that site, automatically, tonight...

Having breakfast with Chip, Jim and Dave at the moment. The weather over here is amazing!

Cant wait to get out on the Ring in the Evo!

Had a long journey over yesterday. With Jim having problems with his BMW, with a loud tapping from the top end that sounds like fucked lifter, hopefully getting sorted today.

Then Lee had a blowout on the Ferrarri when he hit a pothole (thought we left them back in the UK!!!!) Managed to finally get sorted and he got a tyre sorted.
