Default ::::::::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:



Keep an eye on the above to see what the weather is like and to see us go through the barriers onto the track.

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

Thurs 14th 5.45pm - 7.30pm
Fri 15th 2.15pm -7.30pm
Sat 16th 10.00am - 7.30pm
Sun 17th 08.00am - 7.30pm
Mon 18th 5.15pm - 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 8 575 bhp Thursday 8am Ferry
Nigel Burroughes - Evo 8 340 bhp Thursday 8am Ferry
Simon Commins - Si's Evo 8 Thursday 8am Ferry
Dave and Helen - Escort Cos 700 bhp Thursday 8am Ferry
Ginge, Nikki& daughter Elise - Scoob 300 bhp Thursday 8am Ferry
Kelvin and Kim - Focus RS 300 bhp
Ian Gerrard and friend (SteveH?) - Reyland Focus ? 400 bhp 8am Ferry
Wes & Carly Pilgram & Baby Thursday 8am Ferry
Wes's father Thursday 8am Ferry
Rick, Aga and Paul - BMW 5 series - Thursday PM Hull ferry
RS Tuner - Motorbiking over!
Diva - There in spirit

Plus a few Derbyshire RSOC peeps including Ollie NMS S1 and a couple other Cossies!

For those that remember my last report, a new Ring Trip report for 09 will be done, complete with budget and tons of pics - old one is here for those that want to read:

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

Right, off for a shower and brekkie, we leave in 45 mins, and I haven't been to bed yet

Wish us luck, we'll need it!

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











Have a good weekend everyone

Right, 3.30am give or take.

Showered, toast eaten, last items to lob in car. Wheely bin to chuck out then off we go.

Chip still in bed! Wonder what the most novel way to wake him is? I do have a foghorn

Hopefully Chip and his laptop plus mobile internet will keep us and yourselves up to date.

Got to meet the rest of the gang at Clackett Lane Services M25 at 5.45.

Ferry leaves at 8am

It would be no fun having the cars ready for 12months mate, we'll leave it to the last week eh

Doesn't matter how prepared we are, we're always still late for the ferry

RSNUT - SiB always does a full write up at the end of every trip, detailing every last penny! So keep an eye out for last!

Just think this time last year over there, the weather was BOILING!!! In fact i remember Diva coming home a fair few shades redder than what he went out there!
