Steve,
Why does that not surprise me - you're about as reliable as a Scooby piston at 2 bar !

Chris,
I heard you the first time . Early again - same as last time, so that we arrive late Friday afternoon....

would normally be right up there to join you, but that weekend i'll be at the gatebil race meet in norway

was there last weekend for the 24h race. there was one motor that was running with 4 big green lasers on the front pointing skywards so that you could track him around the entire circuit (gp and nordschleife joined - how cool would that be to drive?)

Mike is always happy to let you experience his 'Ring Action', and can often be seen out for a ride with other males.

Steve last time we left on the 9 ish train, and came back on the 18.00 train, arriving UK at around 18.30.
Of course many of the higher powered 400+bhp cossy boys (mike, warren) didn't arrive back to the uk until an hour after the less horse power brigade, me, si, rentons bmw and redlines citreon C2 as they missed the train

We have stayed at the Pension Daniels (100m down the road from Zurburg) the last few times and although the breakfast hasn't got as wide a choice as the Zurburg, but at 25 Euros per person per night (based on two sharing), it is a LOT cheaper.

Rene,
So does this mean that your car won't just be an ornament in the car park this time then?
