9th October trip to Nurburgring & Germany
Hello guys & girls! :D
As I've mentioned on the boards in a couple of threads before, Millie and I are going back to The 'Ring later this year and wonder if anyone else would like to join us?? :smokin: We're going to be using the Ring Taxi lap that Millie bought me for my Chirstmas last year so have planned this trip to coincide with that.
We're going to travel out on Saturday 9th October and Stay at the 'Ring Sat 9th & Sunday 10th October.
We're going to stay in Germany until the following Wednesday & travelling further down south to visit the Mercedes & Porsche Museum's but haven't planned that part yet?
I've already reserved a few rooms at the Hotel Rieder for a few people who have already confirmed they wish to come. As far as I know the following people are all 95% going:
- Big Steve & Millie > Sat - Wed
- Lomo & Nicola > Sat - Wed
- Kris M > Sat - Wed
- Brigsy > Sat - Wed
- J$£5GT > Sat - Wed
- Mr Bean AKA Pete & Caroline > Sat - Wed
- gtmatt > Sat - Unsure?
- Bigfoot & 3 Friends > Sat - Mon
I have booked some Double Rooms and a ONE Triple Room and Costs for the Rooms IN TOTAL for the two nights are as follows:
Double Room €160
Triple Room €230
If anyone is intersted in joining us for this trip please let me know or post on here?

Hey Dan,
It'd be great to meet up with you whilst we are over their!! :niceone:
The ring just operates on a Pays your money & drive the ring deal. I don't know how much it is for a lap now, i'm thinking it's circa €25 ish now?? :rolleyes:
If you can't make it down to Nurburg Dan, we're going to be stopping off somewhere near Cologne on our way home on the Tuesday night so if you want to drive down their & meet up with us for a night then let us know?
Steve ;)

Re: 9th October trip to Nurburgring & Germany
I took my 200 off the road 2 weeks ago because it's never going to get rebuilt if I keep driving it. So i've had to throw any ideas of Mallory out the window.
The engine is literally ready to put together now, so Dawn and I could realistically make this... Unless I change my mind on something, again. I suppose i'll have to see how it goes over the next couple of weeks as i've still got parts to buy yet.

Good Morning Bricolas! :D
Right mate, firstly you need to decide how long you're coming for?? Sat - Sun, Mon or Whenever?
Once you've decided that you need to book a Ferry Crossing over on Norfolkline then a hotel room a the Hotel Rieder for as long as you want to stay.
If you want to come for longer let me know & i'll let you know the rest of the itinery? ;)

Thank you my good sir :)
Sounds good - I'll have a word with a few of my mates.
Out of interest, do you know of any camp sites in the area? Having said that 160 euro's for a double room for 2 nights isn't very expensive at all.. about £130 split between two

Re: 9th October trip to Nurburgring & Germany
Right guys and girls! You all know my love of a good list so I need to know your thoughts of when you want me to book a table at the Pistenklause for a Steak on the Stone Dinner?! :D
If we go on the Sat night then it will be a long day for everyone after travelling to Nurburg but I think the Sat night will be the busyiest with everyone their?
If we do it on the Sun night then we don't have a long day on the Saturday etc & can just take our time?
If you don't put your name down for this list then I'm Not going to book you a space at the meal, SIMPLE
Put down your preference of night, next to your name then i'll go with the Majority.
