It was a great trip, EVERYONE who is into cars on this forum should be coming on the next trip.
doesnt matter if you are scared about your car getting damaged or cant get insurance or whatever, come along anyway just as a passenger and you will still have a fantastic time.
I didnt get behind the wheel at all this time, Stu did offer me a drive of his but i didnt have insurance so couldnt take him up on his kind offer, but it honestly didnt ruin the trip at all, i still had a great time just doing passenger laps and socialising wiht everyone of an evening etc.
Really great trip if you arent driving, trip of a lifetime if you are.
JUST FUCKING DO IT!

I was there too last weekend with my guys (Fenland RSOC), saw most of you guys / motors I had a talking to from one of the marshalls when I came in off a lap on tuesday evening for filming one of my laps Thought we`d been quite decreet about it but obviously someone saw us
He told me i was not allowed to drive the Nordschliefe anymore that day ( It was 6.45pm though )

You did look rather busy Mike.. signing autographs I think lol 
I think one of my guys may have some footage of you going round from one of the viewing points.. but as we have only just got back it may take a couple of days to materialise

No it wasn`t.. I `think` it was from the Surrey group.. although i`m not sure.. I gather he needed a new rad? Oh and some paint
The only bit I managed to scuff on my car was the lower front bumper at the viewing point at Brunnchen (sandy bank) 
I failed to notice the grand canyon running along the middle of it until the last minute

What an excellent write up!
Loving the pictures, although before I'd seen them, I wasn't bothered about having missed it. Hence why I will be there next year with Stockton to promote some of our usual signpost stealing antics!
Really glad you enjoyed it Stu - funny that you captured that "monday morning" feeling too. It's the most spooky place when you leave to go home - has real air of anti-climax. Then yuo get home, see the pics, and remember how good it was.
Agree with Chip too - I've only been as a passenger, and it was incredible!
PMSL @ Mr and Mrs X though

All i can say is we had an awesome time.......i can't put it into words really, just fantastic times and memories
Our group of freinds were what made the trip without a doubt...absolutley terrific people and such good genuine friends, i have never laughed so much in all my life...fantastic atmosphere, just thinking about it now makes me smile to think of what a good time we had
Roll on the next trip, can't wait
