Chris - will give you a call tomorrow.

Am struggling at work at the moment, as i have pretty bad tonsilitis, so am taking twice as long to do anything.

Always use 0208 2880275 to get through.

Cool :ok:

last year we done Brünnchen, Hatzenbach, Breidscheid and further up the hill at Breidscheid at the flick right, tight left hander (see if you can spot the breast graphiti).

We'll also be getting to the hotel early-mid afternoon on the Friday, i'm hoping to get a couple of laps in on the Friday evening too :)

lol love the way you lot talk about banging out a couple of laps on your first trip like it's a trip round brands indy circuit do not under-estimate highs and stomach churning ride that is THE RING.
It'll take you all afternoon to wind up to do a lap and all evening to wind back down again.

Meet you at Worzel palace then off to the track then Steve. We should be there for 17.00 ish :drive:

Cheers for this link Scott :doubleup:

Couldnt agree more, it took me a good while to get myself ready for a lap, and yes it was somewhat scary, it was all the bloomin bikes that took me by surprise.
But, wow what a buzz.:mrgreen:
If i do venture down with Steve and Laura i will be getting loads of pics and video of you all,as dont honestly think i will have the nerve to go round as a passenger.

Big fences to keep back the deer though!:hunt:

lol, dont worry i will pack my hunting rifle :martyn:

I get the feeling there are a few peolpe rather concerned about the accident rate at the ring,following a couple of chats today.
I have to tell you all that havnt been before the roads around the area,the scenery,pubs,food etc are worth the trip alone without even going on the ring.
Take look at last years pics,stunning place.

I couldn't agree more. The trip to the ring is about having an unforgetable experience more than putting in fast laps and racing all and sundry.

I have said it before in these threads, I will not be tonking round there at any time over the weekend. I will buy a four lap ticket, of which I may not even use all four. And I will go round the ring at my own pace. To be honest, there is only one member of the boys going down there with enough track knowledge of the ring to even consider this as an option and that is Nige.

If I wanted a fast lap of the ring, I would either scrounge a lift with Nige or Ray (if I was VERY lucky) or, I would chip in with some of the others and have a blast round in one of the ring taxis. It really is as simple as that.

Please think of this whole weekend as nothing more, than a fantastic weekend away, having a few beers, with a great group of mates, watching from the sidelines as people go round the ring, some fast, the vast majority not so fast. And if you fancy it, have a go yourself.

I honestly had one of the best weekends of my entire life last year. And I never went on the track at all, not one single time. That says it all in my opinion.

Ring taxi !
Would be up for that first thing saturday morning to see the track .:ok:

Worzel Quote.........If I wanted a fast lap of the ring, I would either scrounge a lift with Nige or Ray (if I was VERY lucky) or, I would chip in with some of the others and have a blast round in one of the ring taxis. It really is as simple as that.
As much as i like to think i'm fast compared to some there i'm dog slow. Ive only been 2 times & as i cant find my way around Hastings after 24years dont rely on me to know were i'm going at the ring. I can remember jack **** of the important bit's of the ring. I will however be going full beans to try & keep up with Neil & Ray as they do know were there going. Best thing is have a laugh let the people pass who want to & drive your own pace :drive:............................ BOLLOCK'S TO THAT LET THE DEVIL TAKE OVER & SORT THE SAUSAGE MUNCHER'S OUT :twisted: :twisted:

The wind up and wind down - I remember it well. When we went a few years back, I took the opportunity to go round once on the eve we arrived, so on the next day, we knew what we were in for. Many of the others spent the first eve churning over the next day. We no longer had that problem.

On the next day, only managed two laps without a break, as it was so intense. And only three more laps during the course of the day. As the track was damp, there were no bikes out - what a relief!

Of course there is the issue that you can start a lap dry, and some way round find it's been raining - bit of a shocker!

:SMBLU:

Echo what Steve said, i had one of the best times ever, i mean come on, beer,good food and fast cars. Heaven.
Oh and fooked up weird night clubs and travel pussy's

Just been on the blower to Moley - All sorted for breakdown, as I'm only planning to do a couple of laps and my Insurance doesn't specifically exclude the ring I'm going to take a chance on the insurance.

Have you still got that travel pussy, probably coming in handy at the moment.....being one handed an all that.

I bet it's taking a proper battering at the moment :norty:

Don't be daft Scott , had to test it out once home.:angst:

For those wondering, the pub we went into on a night out had machines in the toilets that dispensed travel pussy's. Yes we had to blow some up and throw them around the pub like kids.

Map checked, crap fuel map added, ALS back and insurance/ breakdown cover sorted

Gatwick this weekend and then all sorted

Top bananas James :doubleup:

New whiteline droplinks and geo check tomorrow.:ugeek: it had better get rid of the knocking at the back:waiting:

Millers cvl boost arrived today:geek:

Oil change last week:ok:

Euro's to get....think everything else sorted.:-?

cross fingers/legs that the car will come back in one piece!:drive:

Got my front drop links swapped today with whiteline ones (Cheers Rich) as Brent advised my oe links had a lot of movement in them. Seems to have made the front end a lot less clunky over the local speedbumps!

Had my oil done last week too, hopefully we'll have a great trip with no problems! :doubleup:

HOTEL DOESN'T TAKE CARDS SO NEED TO HAVE ENOUGH EURO'S TO SETTLE UP AT END.

I took all euro's last year and didn't use card at all.

Cheers for the heads up Scott :doubleup: will remember to hold enough euros back then.

I got £500 (£500.99p to be precise) worth of euro's yesterday and I got 555 euros.

Is that a spooky omen or what

Decision made, i am going.
Am C.J's co driver.
Wicked,can get excited now.

Scott
Good shout,had forgotton that one.
Another thing people dont forget a camping type chair,something i forgot last year and its a must.

I have just clarified the cash question with Jacqueline and that is correct.

Cash only for the room and tab.

Mate, I'm over the moon you are coming and glad to see you rooming and co driving with chris. :cool:

Mate, goes without saying, huge thanks for the offer to take me, its perfect now that myself and Chris can split the costs and i will be sat in front of car.
Now got to see if my SES polo will fit over the cast, am guessing not, may need a little bit of re-work

Happy days mate. I'm sure you could un pick something on the sleeve. :cool:

Does this mean you are taking the slg then steve??:-D

I am indeed. :mrgreen:

It's about this time (5.00pm) that we'll be getting to the hotel in just one weeks time. :cool:

As soon as we get out of the car, it will be a big stretch, a bigger fart and then a very very big and very very cold beer or 8. :beer:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... beeeeer :chug: :chug: :chug:

About 10 mins after we arrived last year
