The tickets are only valid for the year they were bought in I'm afraid, so you won't be able to carry over to Easter next year . Obviously any ones that were bought last time we went, can be used on this trip, as it is still the same year... .

I can confirm that if you are going as a passenger, and like a beer, Ł200 for the whole trip is gonna get you nowhere

Make sure yuo have enough left over for porn on the return trip

By the way guys - don't forget to have cash when you go to Nordschliefe, the only cash maschine around it n "Erlebnis Welt" kind of Nuerburgring museum which is located near the GP circut so it's couple of minutes drive, and when there is lots of guests on the Nordschlife this can take some time in jams.

Doesnt sound insurmountable, surely you can encourage them to get it back to you tomororw, its not like its a big job to skim one.

Ive worked out all my base costs and so far its putting me in stead for about Ł750

Thats all the insurance and everything else + tickets room and fuel and 6 laps on the ring (not gonna afford anymore )

And all I have left is Ł50 spending money

Mac, maybe get some passenger contribution towards ring tickets.

Personally i will buy a 5 lap pass probably as a passenger this time, and if i go out in someones car i will let them use one of my laps instead of their own.

Seems only fair to me.

Creedy is in the southwest, he is good with spanners and is a really generous chap with helping other people out, thouroughly decent chap, might be worth dropping him a PM and asking him if he will lend you a hand if you are short of help to do it, im sure he wont mind if you are anywhere near him (somerset)
