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?

Spoke to my bro and he is trying to get a past from the old ball and chain until wednesday. I let you know Steve when he gets back to me :agree:

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 ;)

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.

Cheers Steve hopefully ill be able to make it to the ring for a couple of nights but if i cant make it there then i wont be able to get to cologne either as i live 45mins above Hannover its still a treck. Im hopefully geting a new 5 this month as mine is due breaking i think :crap: so ill be in that :) all going well

Looks Like i am gonna have to Cancel, Charlotte cant get time of work, so no go for me...

I have a double room booked at hotel Reider for 2 nights (Sat 9th - Monday 11th) cost €160 , and a double with Jacuzzi at Hotel Astoria am Urachplatz in stuttgart for 2 nights (Monday 11th-Wednesday 13th) cost €170

So thats €330 for 4 nights, if anybody is interested in taking over the booking then let me know :)

Why dont you find a passenger to pop along for the journey and still come over

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

im defo coming now :) but maybe in a multi coloured 5,
coming with wife and kids though :dearme:
arrive on the 9th leave on the 11th , staying at the same hotel :):)

GAME ON

Whats the plan for Sunday guys? Ring all day then back to hotel to get ready for steak on a stone & germany's finest Ale ? :smokin:

Yeah, hang around car park perving over the cars, go round track, go to a few view points, grab food somewhere etc

Defo up for steak on a stone .. :D

Steve - you booked us up ?

Chris, its booked up for 15 people, if you look at page 2 on here, not sure on if all seats taken, but sometimes they can squeeze in a few more people if not fully booked up.

I've just had a little tot up about the Meals i'm planning for the Sat & Sunday night & reckon we have the following numbers:

Saturday Night at the Hotel Rieder:
1 Steve Thomson 2 Sarah Miller 3 Jeremy Nesbitt 4 Nicholas Kettle 5 Paul Kettle 6 Iain Lomax 7 Nicola Broome 8 Kristopher Marmoy 9 Jon Briggs 10 Pete Randall 11 Caroline 12 Justin Fischer 13 Chris Jessop 14 Chris Jessop +1 15 Dale Jarvis 16 Dale +1 17 Dale +2 18 Dale +3 19 Ricardo 20 Ricardo +1 21 Toms GTT 22 Toms GTT +1 23 Toms GTT +2 24 Toms GTT +3

Sunday Night at the Pistenklause:
1 Steve Thomson 2 Sarah Miller 3 Jeremy Nesbitt 4 Iain Lomax 5 Nicola Broome 6 Kristopher Marmoy 7 Jon Briggs 8 Pete Randall 9 Caroline 10 Justin Fischer 11 Chris Jessop 12 Chris Jessop +1 13 Dale Jarvis 14 Dale +1 15 Dale +2 16 Dale +3 17 Toms GTT 18 Toms GTT +1 19 Toms GTT +2 20 Toms GTT +3

I'd pre-empted this & had increased the reservation in the Pistenklause on the Sunday to 19 :rolleyes:

I'm sure they can rustle another seat up? ;)

Just trying to find the laws on tyre depth, its different out there than in england.

Was speaking to Kris M about this the other day, apparently after Sept they dont permit the use of semi slicks on road cars either - but turn a blind eye to foreign cars :smokin:

Be fine im sure. :scared:
I think the limit is 3mm mind.. [ guesstimated mine away from wear markers]


Any chance of a good old sing song for my passengers 'happy birthday' on the Sunday night? :wasntme:

All the times I have been over there only 1 person in the group has been pulled over for speeding and impersonating a police car :laugh:

erm singing :crap: wait till everyone has had a few :drunk:

Ha ha, well been up to Liverpool, so might as well behave like one, heard of a Ford consol with a head unit hardly used in a Lock up local to me, got the keys, quick removal and run away, sorted :laugh: if I have no luck ill message you about your head unit :D

Rights peeps :)

Car is all ready to go, finally got the fabricated subframes for the Cobra bucket seats yesterday. I was out on the driveway with the halogen light till nearly 10pm last night removing the OE drivers seat, drilling the holes in the seat subframes, then bolting the Cobra buckets in place...... A right mission!

Anyway, washed, hoovered, removed a little bit more interior plastics. Me and the missus will be ready to go tomorrow morning. I've spoken to Big Steve and hopefully when i arrive at Hotel Rieder i'll enquire into booking enough places for us all on the Saturday night :beer:

Really looking forward to going back to Nurburgring as it's been 2 years, gonna be a bit strange driving over there without the convoy but no doubt i'll catch up with you guys Saturday afternoon :agree: :cool:

Road trip :smokin:

Excitement level 11/10

http://www.gifs.net/Animation11/Hobb...ry_excited.gif

Well, Brigsy and J are at mine now....A quick 4 hour power nap then its a 3am start from Swindonia down to Dover :)

The rtoc crew are on route to Europe :-) all safe and well

All is well on the western front of Germany nice weather :cool: pictures to follow with the stories :p and a nice steak on the stone yum yum :cooter:

Just to say we're quite literally on the ferry back to Dover! Using the Norfolkline wireless. Had an excellent 3 days in Germany, arriving Friday afternoon in time for 2 laps. Saturday was spent having a drive about the local area, lunch in Adenau then meeting up with everyone lese at Hotel Rieder for dinner and drinks last night.

Straight back to the Ring for 8am this morning for 2 more laps, then headed back via Spa just after lunch.

gutted i missed this :cry: , how did the drive go ?

Personally the drive went really well, 870 miles return trip including drives around the Nurburg area and the 4 laps. The Clio didn't miss a beat, i'm really pleased with how everythings been. We took a different route map back via Spa which was more scenic for the first 60-70 miles

One written off BMW, 245 euro recover fee plus marshall time and car time. 510 euro taxi back to england, £102 eurotunnel, cheers Chris (penfold) and £50 to brother for collecting me and mates from Kent.

Car smashed in front left, with no working lights, metal folded into the tyre and bumper smashed to pieces that side, rear quarter dented, rear light smashed in. Both engine mounts snapped off, engine fell onto steering column stopping the wheel to turn easily. Managed to repair front end to get it back but engine mounts no chance of repair :( car now left in scrapyard in germany :cry:

Other than that my lap was excellent, car was loving the drive. just under 17km in, the car weren't loving my mate who was driving at the time :crap:

ouch! someones wallet has taken a right good kicking. :(

:( gutted , you got a taxi back to England ?

Dale and the fail 4 :rolleyes: glad your all ok and I no you wanted a ring taxi lap but that's hell of a price :eek: :p sure flying back or as a foot passenger as Mart suggested ;) we are all good and on are way back all went well wiv no hiccups :coffee:

Looked into hiring a car, eurocar was the only one, that was 450 euros for the car, having to get a taxi to the place which would have been around 70 euro as that was 50km away, plus fuel. Cant get the car into england they wont allow it only up to france.

All places wouldn't allow passengers in ferries or eurostar so thats out the question as the french were all in strike :cry:

Flying was 169euros each, plus 125euros to get to Koln for the airport, so works out miles expensive as well.

450 euros to hire a car for 1 day, 250 miles....... Jeeez

sorry to here that dale:)

Cheers Matt, definately weren't what I was expecting the holiday to turn out like. Least all is well and we got back alright.

Well waiting to get money off Aidan now for the car, then will be looking at replacing it for another one, had a look at a couple today, none to my liking, some serious rust buckets out there, im sure holes under rear lights not meant to be there and saying its an easy fit, what replace the whole rear quarter :crap:

Well got enough money together to start looking at a bigger engine, saying that the car still done well and made it to the hotel in good time (hour before anyone else) and still over 1/4 tank left seeming that last bit of trip was doing 110mph :wasntme: good on german roads.

Boom o'clock..

Just landed back home not long ago.
Rtoc few days away.. thanks for having me along.. really enjoyed myself even with all things considered lol.

Can't wait for next year already!
The ax did my proud and didnt miss a beat..the tyres still look good , almost lost a piece of arch on the carousel at the ring though, eek!

Steve you gotta get onto this camera ripping biz sharpish ;)

Now.. time to get some much needed sleep! Glad im off tomorrow, boom!

See some of you soon for birthday bashes!!

Until next time..:)

Thanks again!

Laura also wants to say thanks for giving her the opportunity to come along too :)

Well, myself and Brigsy got back to Swindon last night, a fantastic trip had by all. Did just under 1400 miles in the old slag, didnt miss a beat :D, turbo started to get abit tierd after the 125 mph top speed runs on the autobahns ;) " No smoke no poke "

Overall all a brilliant trip, roll on the next one


PMT, THE WINNING TEAM !! :agree:

GIN FOR THE WIN !! :D:laugh:

Here's my lap of the ring.

Jessop, was nice meet you in Germany :agree: :)

Another 'Epic' time away with RTOC :agree:

1575 miles covered in the Vee and every single one of them part of a fabulous 5 days away. Once again Steve did us proud with his organisation skills and I have no doubt he will one day be a fabulous father! :mart::D From Nurburg to Koln the whole thing was superb! Ricardo on the beer mission, Krissy M's epic fail with a hand stand and a German-English showdown in a pub in Koln..All happy days!!:wasntme::cool2::ujack: The drive off the ferry and the goodbyes gets harder every time! It really is a fantastic holiday with fantastic friends.

For anyone toying with this idea each year you wont regret saving a few quid and jumping along! I can say my decision to go two years ago was one of my better ones as I have formed many great friendships through our ring trips...There are plans already being talked about for next year so keep your eyes out on these boards..You wont regret your decision...Honestly...

Thanks again to everyone for making it another quality trip away and roll on the next one with hopefully a few new faces...

And for anyone worrying about taking their car on the Ring we decided this year to drive round on almost a parade lap so dont think you have to thrash your car when you go on...

Top top 5 days away! :niceone:

Lomo & NicoLomo!

big BOOM! to all who attended...:D:p,blue skies an very warm weather the euro sun has always been out an shining at that time of year,chills off at night but all good,had a blast,raider loved eating up the big miles....cruising more often at 120+...:D.

cheers to brigsy for takin over the driving from stuttgart,me feeling very tired...and for the quick thinking pmt moment out of the porsche museum...:laugh::wasntme:,so many things happened top time away.that beer in that stuttgart pub tho..:dearme: weak as piss...
