Eurotunnel was £96 going Saturday and back Monday evening, twice the price.Originally Posted by Penfold aka The Dealer
Gunters??? I will get it bookedi will most likely go via eurotunnel (tesco coupons FTW)
Mart, looking into the weekend, will be cheaper for me to visit the Ring then spectate and help out at Spa on the Monday
well im still planning on coming with matty....matty whats your thoughts on this?
im easy to stay for tuesday run to the border!?..and cheapo/ghetto hotel mart!!!
Ricky, more than happy to give you (and anyone else) plenty of pax laps at Spa.
Yep, cheapy hotels are in order this year - I love staying at the Tiergarten, but it's not the cheapest of places unfortunately. Funnily enough, it was only a couple of days ago I was talking to Duncan about the first time we stayed at Gunthers & what great memories we have of those first 'Ring trips
Shoppers, are you going to look into prices for staying at Gunthers/Hotel Schaefer? If you can help with the German side of things, I'll sort the Spa side
Yeh i have there number, i will call them at 9
Well as you know Mart, my gang (Myself, Sarah, Rob & Sammy) will be travelling down south Sat evening and stay over nr Dover then onto Spa in the morning (or wherever we are staying) Sunday night hotel, track day Monday and stay again Monday evening and long drive home Tuesday Morning (got to love trailering)
DG
I have spoken to Gunters, got told to email request as the person on the phone does not speak good english, so I have emailed them requesting how many rooms they have for saturday 1st & costs of all the rooms...
Thanks Chris, top banana
Muchos appreciations for the pax lap offerRicky, more than happy to give you (and anyone else) plenty of pax laps at Spa.

Indeed, only good memories of Gunthers place. Not the most VIP status hotel but it did what it said on the tin very well. Great beer and great food with a bed for the night. Mart do you remember breakin into the DJ booth at the downstairs disco, cheesy tunes, yard of german ale through the big cigarette,the talent contest, opeing the pub just for us!
That's what No Bling was all about

Mart been about 5 years since the 1st trip to spa - you saying I may finally get out in the evo taxi
One of the best pints I have ever had was 1st time staying there on that bench after a mental day of great driving
DG
The 1st time was that good some of us went back a month later!
I do Ricky, that was a totally mad night!D'you remember the German girls stripping Tricky & only leaving him a trainer to cover his modesty
The 'Adenau's got Talent' contest that we walked in on still gives me nightmares
Agreed, that's part of what the 'No bling' tour is & always should be about - It's why I'm well up for staying at Gunther's in October, so we can go back to the roots days again
Dunc, that very first pint, sitting on the bench outside Gunther's, is something I'll never forget. A crazy 24hr prior to that, to the peace, tranquility and 'we're here at last' feeling, supping a beer & watching the world go by. Great times
The trip before the 1st No bling at the ring - WAKEY WAKEY
Yep that whole trip one of the best ever, mind some of the no bling at the ring trips after were a blast
Must get on with the V8 conversion in the omega so I can get on the ring again
Just got myself an LSD for it but not sure it will cope lol
Looks like either RS4 or LS3 in the final running - may have found a broken (crashed) VXR8 S/C for conversion - LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!
DG
Oh yeah Tricky got mugged right offI do Ricky, that was a totally mad night!
The 'Adenau's got Talent' contest that we walked in on still gives me nightmares
Lets do it chaps, lets get the crew back on board and booked into Gunthers
All eyes on Shoppers then to see what Gunther's come back with...
I've heard all about Gunther's place, but I've not experienced it
So, I'm up for it
Awesome, the 1st time we went we actually had the hotel to ourselves, they kept the bar open late as we were spending good money over the barI've heard all about Gunther's place, but I've not experienced it
So, I'm up for it
Where's that pic of the Interceptor on the way back on the autobahn in the rain
We were 'at speed' as to not miss the eurotunnel back
TK took us out on the ring, 4 up, 90 degrees sideways for fun in the wet
Memories
Just weighing up 2 options:
Saturday at the Ring, spend Saturday night at Gunthers.
Sunday some of the day at the Ring then head over to Spa and stay near Spa Sunday night so we're near the track for the Monday.
Or 2 nights at Gunthers....... leaning to Saturday night at Gunthers then to Spa.
Ferry side of things, looking at booking 6am Saturday and coming back Monday 8pm
I remember being over there on rememberance sunday.... thats what the party in the pub was.....
We were in the hall at the back... and thinking sh*t were in a pub in germany on rememberance sunday.... and the all of the sudden a marching band come out behind the curtains.... i thought we were gonna be in the ****...
But instead they were up for a laugh, got ricky & becky on the stage, TK & tricky were there... tricky had his eyes on vanessa(or something like that) & then we were invited to the nightclub.... downstairs in a basement..... decorated like a dungeon.... typical 6ft german lads there 6ft tall, leather jackets, big boots, muscles everywhere..... turns out they were a good laugh, lots of arm wressle's, mart taking over tthe dj booth...
A quality night all round
- Early ferry crossing from Dover Saturday morning, or the Newcastle-Amsterdam ferry Friday night if that works out a cheaper option.
- 'Ring laps when we get there.
- Gunther's Saturday night.
- Easy come, easy go for Sunday daytime.
- Staying at/near Spa Sunday night (only because of the early start on Monday morning).
- Track event on Monday.
- Stay local Monday night.
- Then maybe upto Brugges for a couple of days, Tuesday onwards.
That's my plan so far...
I can't wait for the night at Gunther's
Im still well up for this, keep us informed on the room situation penfold
Good to see you're still up for it Brigsy
You ever taken a car on the Newc'-'Dam ferry?
No response to the email yet...Im still well up for this, keep us informed on the room situation penfoldwill chase up again in the morning...
Will probably drive the Clio over there too, that'll save on the extra ££ with trailer hire and the ferry crossing so thats about £90-100 saved
Roomnumber 1,3,10,12,13,16 Double Rooms with Shower and WC Price 68,00 Euro per Night.
Roomnumber 5,6,14 thats Double Rooms with seperats Shower and WC Price 55,00 Euro per Night.
7 and 17 are single Rooms 34,00 per Night and Roomnumber 15 its a tree bed Room one single and one double bed with Shower and WC Price 90,00 but this Weekend is minimum 2 Nights. If you want more Rooms i can book it for you in Guesthouses.
Shame about the minimum 2 nights... but still cheaper than most places...
I have provisionally booked room 3
I bet if you phoned up Stefan at the Hotel Rieder nearer to the Ring you could get the same price rooms there & you're not spending the time/petrol to drive out to Günthers?
I will try and get it contact with hotel Rieder this afternoon, unless you have their email/contact number...
Doesn't look like there's much left on offer at the Hotel Rieder, i've just looked on hotelbookings.com and they're showing for 2 nights. Saturday-Sunday night
1 Triple room: 240 euros
3 Single rooms 120 euros
1 Suite for 2 people: 360 euros
Ive always done the trek to dover each time matey, one of my mates is a 'ring' regular and uses it, ill ask him what the crack is. As soon as i get paid (brassic at moment) ill get a room booked upGood to see you're still up for it Brigsy
You ever taken a car on the Newc'-'Dam ferry?
Cheers Brigsy.
Shoppers, thanks for the price info. 2 nights is a no go for me, and at 68euro (don't recall it being that expensive previously?!) I'd rather pay the extra 15euro & stay at the Tiergarten (which would then also save me ~10euro in fuel & 1hr+ round trip getting to/from Ring).
If Gunther can sort us a better price & drop the 2 night BS, I'm up for staying there. If not, it's onto plan B...
Thats for the room though not per person, so the double is 34 euros each which im sure it was 40 last time we went there. yeah shame about the 2 night as I was speaking to Chris yesterday and only looking at staying 1 night as well
Mmmmmmmm. I might be up for this trip too, need to check some dates out
Yep, I gathered that was the room rate - Same for the Tiergarten as well.
A up ,,
Right im not going to Afghan anymore
Whats the crack ? seems like every one is doing something diferent.
Idealy i would like to meet at the ring on the Sat stay near by Sat night then do one on Sunday..
hello i dont understand here everything because my englisch its not sooooooooo nice
but when somebody need help for booking a room next to the ring give me a message , i have kontakt to the ring ( and the peoples rent rooms) because i work there sometimes as cook
when you write very slow and easy i can help, when you need and want
maybe Dany from Münster can translate ?
is somebody there next weekend for the 24h race .................... ?
Good to see you're now up for it DanA up ,,

It's looking like the plan is to drive out to Germany on Saturday morning, drive some laps of the 'Ring, stay local Saturday night, more laps on Sunday, then upto you whether you want to stay local again for the Sunday evening, or head over to Spa, stay local there for the night, then the trackday on Monday if you fancy driving or spectating.
That's the way I read it anyway.
From my point of view, I'll be going with the aforementioned plan, except I'll be staying local to Spa on Sunday & Monday nights, then heading upto Brugges for a few days afterwards.
Jörg, thanks for the offerhello i dont understand here everything because my englisch its not sooooooooo nice

As a minimum we would need 1 night stay, with a combination of single & double/twin rooms.
Cheers
no i work sometimes in the restaurant paddock , but only for big events.
the restaurants owner is an old friend and if he is in trouble i help in the kitchen
and the man have a small guesthouse with 3 rooms ( 1 single and 2 double ) , the guesthouse is behind the policestation in balkhausen next to the ring ( in face of the dorint hotel )
for what night do you need the rooms ?
greatings jörg
Hallo Jörg,
Mein Deutsch ist nur so gut, eine Goodle Übersetzen, aber es ist eine tolle Sache, dass wir einen Kerl Renault 5-Enthusiasten, die in der Nähe des Nürburgring lebt!
Es wäre hervorragend, um mit Ihnen das nächste Mal sind wir über!
Danke, dass Sie mit der Buchung von Hotels in der Nähe des Nürburgrings zu helfen! Es ist toll, wenn wir einen lokalen Ansprechpartner für unsere Reisen werden!
Steve
Of course I'll help if I can help,
but with the first guest houses dont works because of the weekend is a classical rally and the rooms are already booked.
if you want i look for one other guest house next to the ring.
with the German department from RTOC is no problem for me , when people from rtoc in germany in problems can phone me for help.
I can help with parts only for the Renault 5, but maybe I can help if one has different problems in Germany, i can give my telefonnumber when you want or need
greatings jörg
und vielen dank für den deutschen text das war sehr schön mal etwas direkt lesen zu können
hello i have a new adress
in 5 min driving from he ring i found a private guest house
for one night and one people : 30,-€
when somebody need a kontakt or help for booking send me a message
greetings jörg
What's the latest with this trip?? Is it still on or has the God of Fail cast it off down Sh1t Creek?
It seemed to crash & burn, which is a shame
Not sure if I'll be tieing it in with a visit to the 'Ring, but Spa is definitely on.
Just had a cheeky discount voucher for Norfolkline arrive & everything.....
I was actually going to pm mart later to confirm I wont be attending, me and charlotte have got the green light from everybody to buy our house... so no ring trips for me this year
On a positive note, I am keeping the silver ph1, got a nice 1.8 16v engine to go in...
Double Win Score!!
And there was me thinking I'd posted in here already...
We wont be attending unfortunately due to our business starting up....You know I would otherwise.
Will explain more this weekend Mart
