View Full Version : Ring trip October 18th-21st 2008
Hey guys/girls.
Got back from the Ring on Monday night and have to say what a delightful weekend! Managed 3 laps but had to que for 1 1/2 hours due to 2 accidents...It was twice as busy as the first time I went out in May with you guys!! Unfortunately I was already in line when they closed it otherwise I'd of waited for the mayhem to die down! My first lap was like racing on the M25!!:sad2:..They really should do something when its like that! It was too dangerous to rag it if Im honest..The next two laps were much better as the rush had gone....well pleased with my last lap..9 minutes 42 secs...I had a smile all the way home!! :D
Have a wicked weekend guys and all come back in one piece!! have fun troopers!

Ok 1 huge major f*ck up from Gunters gone on here...
I have email proof that is there mis understanding of English, but basically I sent them the final confirmation of rooms and they have messed up the "guesthouse" list and Gunters have booked 4 rooms in the guest house (Meant to be 2 double rooms).
I pointed out the mistake on there part and there response was this
"sorry but its to late to storno the guesthouses so your friends must pay a schmal Money for the three doublerooms.
I think 50 Euro per double room for three day is not to mutch for your friends for Storno the rooms.
So i have book it for you and now its only two double room thats not o.k"
Now i have also been told that J & Jesus are not attending.. So that means we could be paying for 3 empty rooms..
Now i am not happy but everytime i ring them i get told "email only english" and emails arent fast to reply.
I am tempted to f*ck Gunters off completly even tho they have been very helpfull, but i am not being stitched up for 3 empty double room's.
That's really confusing. Are we gonna try book somewhere else then? I'll just do what I'm told

wtf? i aint in for paying for rooms that arnt been used
Ok I think we may only be paying a cancelation fee of 150 euro's, We would have to pay a cancelation fee for 1 room as that the room for J & Jesus's. I wish that they had told us sooner that they were going to cancel, they havent even told me yet but have told another member going on this trip.
I dont know how exactly Gunters made the error, i am going through all my emails right now.
If i am reading dodgy English correctly its only 150 cancelation fee, between 15 of us its only 10 each...
Perhaps its worth keeping the peace for 10 per person. I will confirm this once i have 100% confirmation from Gunters.
J and Jesus shold be billed , 3 days to go its a piss take.:rolleyes:
let me get this right, its 150 euros if we cancel the booking, or its now going to cost each of us another 50 euros for double rooms?
so it was 155 euros if memory serves and now will cost 205?
plus 10 euro chip in for the cancel feefor there room? 215 in total then?
Its prob too late to book anywhere else.
Just had a load of missed calls lol, sorry Shoppers, Kris and Tom :laugh:
Tom, read Chris' post above yours

I aint got your number to give you a missed call :cry:
But I agree, why should we pay for somebody cancelling this late on. Dont want to offend jesus (dont know what sort of things he can do) but cancelling this late is not right.
Its been 195 euros from the start. Which that is what we should all pay as what has been agreed on.

I know we have agreed on paying 195 per double room but now there is an empty room to be paid for..... they have agreed to give us a cancelaton fee but not just on that 1 room over 3.
Now i think its better to accept the 150 cancelation fee for the 3 rooms rather than upset gunters and refust to pay for them 3 rooms.
Because in theory they could of charged us full rate for the cancelation of J & Jesus's room, which would be more.

so we cancel all 3 and rebook new ones?
Noooooooooooooo, the guesthouse is run by friends of Gunthers so Shoppers booked all the rooms for main hotel and guesthouse through Gunthers...but they messed up the guesthouse rooms and we have too many
We would have to pay a cancelation fee for 1 room as that the room for J & Jesus's. I wish that they had told us sooner that they were going to cancel, they havent even told me yet but have told another member going on this trip.
Sorry, but in my book that is fecking out of order. Bad enough letting you guys down at the last minute, let alone finding out about it 3rd hand.
Poor show chaps :sad2:
If it were me, unless there's a genuine reason why they can't now attend, I'd be asking J & Jesus to pay the cancellation fee. Bit unfair asking everyone else to pick up their bill as such.

Im willing to chip in , even being as it wasnt my car going...:eek:, id not want you lads an lasses to get stung like,its called work mart and the fact that i was not even organising it!!:),damn its hard to write nothing negative regards such comments, hey im not perfect despite my name!!:(, like i say , sorry people, you know im allways game, next time im takin my own car and doing the booking!!,once again sorry, if it cannot be sorted i wont let you all down and leave you high n dry, even though i know people have bailled out on other events.........................................:la ugh:
Cool. That's v noble of you to pick up the cancellation fee :agree:
If you can't make it, fair enough, it's just the way it was found out you guys weren't going, and at such short notice. And because of that, it would've meant the others would've had to pick up your tab.
All sorted now though :agree: :)

Just to add to this , i really dont mind "chipping in" despite me not going but as i say , i feel im carrying the can on this one as it seems that despite me not being the organiser of the car going etc etc, which i thought would be a doddle as i could sit back and enjoy, it seems im answering to the posts etc and receiveing the flack!, o.k. i cant come for one thing and another but ill not take to it getting personal etc, people are allways diving out of trips ive been on and i dont see them puttin their hands in their pockets or responding to threads regarding themselves being a pisstake......rant over!

The AA charge more if your car is over 15 years old, but is it worth it as they will more than likely recover it to a local garage and leave it there. They wont bring it back. And they go off the glass guide price :(

Jesus, TBH i cant be bebothered to chase you and J up via email/pm/txt's, i am not going to chase you guys for the hotel penalty. The group will take the cost, if individual members feel like they are owed 10 then they can take it up with you and J.
I am not getting to an arguement with anybody over this as this is also my time away and i get fed up with all the emails between hotel and myself over the cost.
As for next year's ring trip's they will be different, 100% Crossing up front, 100% Hotel deposit up front... no refunds. Sorts the boys out from the men as Mart would say. - And no thats not a dig at Jesus or J.
I personally cant wait to get out to Germany and have a few Beers and some nice steak... oh yeh and drive the best track in the world with the best people there aswell.
I am Gutted Jesus and J cant make it as there part of the Orginal RTOC-Ring group.
Shopboy, i'm looking forward to this weekend, just a shame a couple of things have gone t1ts up. I for 1 appreciate the time and effort you and anyone else has put in for this trip, organising anything can often be a thankless task :crap: Bring on the Saturday night, we'll have a few beers :)
just reading this carry on yeah whoever was driving and matt should have let the organiser know that plans had changed and if its deffo costing others more then yeah that should be sorted too imo...but there is deffo instances of "the kettle calling the pot black" in the above posts regarding organising or posting up events and then saying there not comin or just not turning up or never comin in a car of there own...my rant over and i dont care less if know one listens :cry:;)
btw full money up front at least 2 months in advance or GET F****d in the future gets my vote :)
matt let it pass m8...and hope your w*****G hand gets better soon pal :laugh:
Too right Jaffa, regards people initially putting their names down months in advance and then bailing out whenever they feel like it. People should put their money where their mouth is and pay up at least a sizeable non refundable amount to secure their place, end of. I think it's the fact that the hotel never took or asked for a deposit that some people see fit to not bother going and not say anything.
The reason i book my own ferry crossing and last time booked my own double room

Jaff, if that pop was at me for now not making Oulton Park trackday, and not turning upto ND in the jap taxi, there's 2 genuine reasons why that's the case. However, I've given plenty of notice that I won't be at Oulton, and I still turned up at ND regardless.
The difference is, both of those actions hadn't/hasn't left anyone out of pocket.
Anyway, what's done is done now, so we'll leave it there.
Have a safe trip people :D

Hi peeps, I arrived at 11pm yesterday but absolutely shattered. Had a really good weekend away, as always a pleasure to hook up with the regular crew.
Did 3 laps and on the 3rd i lost braking doing 110mph into the series of corners after the 1st bridge and start/finish line. metal grinding noises on the way back to the hotel so i'm driving gingerly. Bought new rear brake pads on the Monday in Adenau, took the passenger wheel off and bosh! The inner pad had fallen out and the piston was hitting the disc everytime i applied the brake.
Big thanks to Bruce for doing the brakes, managed to get home ok but i'll be needing new discs. Deffo thinking 4 pots.
Great weekend, shattered like all, early night and work in morning. Car made it there and back with some nice wiring for the fan :)
Need to load up some pics got 65 in total, never really take any.
Got to say thats the dodgiest pub ive been to for ages. And those shots were awful.
Anyway found a pic of shoppers driving round

Im so gutted about the trip :( Glad you all had fun and made it back in one piece.
The MR2 is being broken/sold and I am buying a either a BMW740 Sport or a 540 at the end of the month.
Fancy a big V8 and a bit of comfort :D
Next time I will make it all the way.
540's the way to go i think M8! 740's a bit of a lard barge!
Mind you both of them are going to be a bit thirsty? :scared:

Hmmm, I must say, I can't see Tom in one of those. He'd be more at home in a Datsun Cherry I think :cool:

Aye all good ta Adey, back about 9ish last night in convoy with Kris and Scotty. We managed to get a slightly earlier 5:35 train and it happened to port in about the same time as Kris' ferry so we hooked up in Ashford Tescos and off we pootled.
Awesome weekend peeps, massive thank you to sexy Chris Smith for arranging it for us, I can't wait to go back again. Paul said he'll upload the pics/videos later on, some of them are hysterical :laugh:
Had a nice play with a 300bhp Golf GTi on the way home, he followed us into Reading services simply to ask how a 1.4 GT Turbo whooped him lol?! :agree:
Gonna feel gutted going back to work tomorrow :(
