Default Spare passenger space to Nurburgring....

The successful applicant will need to be able to travel to Norfolk on Thursday evening May 19 and have May 20-23 (inclusive) away from work / boyfriend / girlfriend, and be willing to share travel costs with three others in a Seat Leon Cupra R (i.e. peanuts ).

Please be warned you will be sharing a room with a Norfolk bumpkin who snores louder than Victor Meldrew . The room will cost you 25 Euros a night B&B (your share) and all you then need is food and beer money.

Apply by email to me and I will pass your details on. If you are female (or male and don't mind dressing as a female), you will automatically get preferential treatment... .

All nationalities accepted (even the Welsh ), we are an equal opportunites group .

If you are free on those dates then you should definitely consider going! I would be there if I could!!

Even if you aren't driving it is an awesome experience and passenger laps are ALWAYS available

Dan if you do come, i might have a favour to ask you, as my bird needs to get from somerset up to near london that weekend so maybe you can give her a lift on the way, at least it will be someone for you to talk to and will save her having to drive up on her own too

Dan,
You could probably do it all in for Ł150-250* inc fuel / food and beer money etc.
*If you're an alcoholic .

Takes 2˝ tanks of fuel to get there in the Cossie, (so the Seat may even be able to do it on 1˝ ), same back, plus ferry costs: Ł125 (divided by four), plus 75 euros (three nights B&B), plus food and drink.

NOT required. Everyone is very easy going about taking passengers, especially if he lets them have a go of his 'Ring .

Nath,
No one has dropped out, just Charlie has a spare space available, as he asked for a twin room, so thought might as well use it...

hmm, id love to go, and one day i will, but having just moved into my house last night im sure the missus wont let me spunk Ł250 on a jolly of round europe

im sure things like "we need double glazing" "a bathroom cabinet" "the kitchen doing" will be mentioned along with "no fucking chance son"

oh mike, i live near combe, and to cumbria via london is a long way, especially as i only get 200 miles to a tank at the mo...

so i effect, it will cost me more like Ł500 all in with fuel to and from my house

cheers for the offer tho, but thinking about it, i think ill have to decline

I've promised myself I'm not going to the Ring as a passenger ever again.

It's nothing to do with being on the verge of vomiting and alcohol poisoning all the way home, but merely that I wanna drive the bloody thing!

See you all there in 2012

We don't bite really, just love to abuse Dom, because he is just SO . Apparantly the reason he won't come is that he hasn't got a converter for his hair straighteners .

Yeah, but if you leave him in the trouser press too long, he's gonna emerge from the room looking like he just stuck his finger in the electrical socket

I cant beleive I overlooked the lack o straighteners point!

Mike, let me drive the escos for a lap and i'll come as you now know from karting, it would be in far more capable hands with me driving anyway and FAR less likely of wiping out cones

You'll be lucky, he won't even give out passenger laps to anyone he doesn't want to impress.






....oh, actually, you could WELL be in then.

Phil,
Why not leave the potato behind and come in it's place? While you're away, I bet he will make a valid contribution to the BB (well more valid than you could ) .
