NURBURBRING EASTER 2007

[Mk 1 Mark]

Easter weekend 6-8th 2007

Just gauging interest to see if anyone fancies coming to Germany next year?

There is already a few of us going and i will post up dates later but it should be aroung late April 2007..

Accommadation should be fine as i found and excellent place to stay 5 mins from the track. . .

Basically its just under a 300 mile drive there through France ,Belgium,Holland Germany...

I cant say how good it was last time i went and the more the merrier.

And costs are around £150-200 ferry...Fuel...accomadation £30 per night

So far there is a few of us that are definatley going

 

Kev16 + 1

Cossymax + 1

Gary the German + 1

Martin harris +1

Ginger Martin +1

I've always fancied doing that but i need to get another diff built up!

couldn't do it with my gearing

[Mk 1 Mark]

Not a problem then Kev..Man of you means should be able to have a few to spare mate

Be good if you could kev,And i cant wait to get back out there

i could well fancy this , dont know if i could drive the v6 though ,. again diff ratio = fuel = noise = NO WAY but maybe the van

[stuball]

Id be well up for this, always wanted to got to the Nurburgring , Count me in

Col i did it in the Cortina Mate and all i did was change the diff to 3;77 and it was blinding

Straight cut box....45`s.....no need for a stereo

As i said the more the merrier..More than welcome

I had a post for when i went this year,But i will add most thing you will all need nearer the time.

I cant stress how much of a buzz it is and im even thinking about going again this year!

I think 2 people in car is the way to go,We went via euro tunnel then drove all the way just stopping for fuel..

Love the Van Col......Bring it

Just saying to you what i said to Mr Jenkins,Man of your calibre should have a few ready to go

[Col-ashtonmobile]

i know m8, but the van = reliable = comfort = well you know the rest

The place i have found is a new Hotel that only opened when i was out there last and is perfect

And your 1.1 should make it,But driving there in it might be hard as i struggled to keep up with the people i went with...

Most people want to give it some

[erick]

Might be up for this let you know nearer the time, hopefully have a mk1 escort by then.

Right Below is a few links for the nurburging inc ferry prices,Where to stay,And dates the track is open to the public.

Easter seem to be good as its good friday and back holiday monday.

Could Leave Thurday 5th and return Monday 9th.

Accomodation is usually fully booked around this time so the sooner we all book the better.

Eurostar is the way to go,Drive on drive of...And you car is not left unattended

Been thinking of doing this for ages, see you've found Ben lovejoys site, everyone should check that out. Gonna have a think about going and let you know soon.

[Mk 1 Mark]

Got a few choices really but was thinking of travelling Thurday morning on Eurostar and driving all the way there.

Or leave later thursday evening and staying in the F1 hotel in france and then drive from there early friday?

And a choice of a few return dates but i was thinking of getting the 7pm train back from calais.

I have already reserved 5 rooms for the group of us that went this year

[DeuceCoupe]

I would be up for that all depends if I have another engine in my car and if my ex could have the kids otherwise i'd have to take them and that wouldn't be much fun unless i get the dvd players for the car to keep them quiet. You know what kids are like on long journeys. Are we nearly there

[Raw]

There has been talk of us here going to The Ring since last year. But because its such a long jounery for us we will go over for a week or so.

 

Ferry from Rosslare to Cherbourg (500miles to Nurburging). Might stay around France for the rest of the time. With that plan in mind we might go a bit later in the year as the weather would be better.

 

This trip will also have to be arranged around Santa Pod, as we are defo going next year, we badly missed it this year.

 

OSF meet later in the month and this will be discussed.

 

Any ideas from the Irish side

[Mk 1 Mark]

Nice As i said before the more the merrier,I have already reserved 5 rooms

And i cant wait to get there again,Was even thinking of leaving wednesday now

...so we have thur/fri/sat/sun/mon...

But its early days atm....But at least accomodation is sorted i would suggest that everyone sorts out accomodation early,

As it does get fully booked this time of year

The main reason we go the France,belguim,holland germany route it is very open,no toll roads..And loads of fun...

As for staying in france there are loads of F1 hotels that you can reserve before hand

But from ireland im sure its much easier for you to go that Route

[RETRO_AL]

i may well be up for this,car should be done aswell
