Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Im gonna try and meet martyn and steve on the A2 if your coming this way, but ill phone you boys the night before to confirm a rough time of your selves get to this point! (M25 - A2)

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Rich, it would be better for us to go up the M26 / M20 to be honest mate. Straight down to Ashford.

Remember, we are going to get Grieg from East Grinstead.

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Did you get your tower problem sorted matey?

He was still working in my car on Friday at 8.00pm :roll:

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

???

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

You were on the phone to a workmate about a tower you were paying £600.00 a week for and had not used?

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Ah, with you now mate.
Yeah found the tower on site being used by another sub contrcator, great.

Fookin so cant wait to be finished at Wembley, fookin place gives me nightmares

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Can you charge them?

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

No Mate.
Just one of my supervisors not doing his job.

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Right guys its 225 miles from the centre of Dunkirk to destination.
Not to bad at all.

I suggest we make a stop for bite to eat etc around half way, which is roughly Brussel's.
I have set up journey route in good old Tom Tom :doh:

Not sure if any part of the A3/E40 is unrestricted speed limit yet, still investigating

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

So we are following your Tom Tom then????

Oh well, I've always fancied driving to Bosnia ;)

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Ive got a tom tom europe which ill set up also.

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

And MINE. :rofl:

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Dunkirk port is in the middle nowhere and not too close to the town.

I'd suggest getting past Brussels before stopping, it's a nightmare and the worst part of the journey. I hate the ring road with a passion and it's even harder in a convoy as people are easily separated due to sudden turn off and sheer volume of traffic.

E40 certainly is restricted as that's in Belgium which has a 120kmph limit. I ended up in the back of a police van and fined €175 this year (I was also 4mph away from being banned and car impounded). There are also speed cameras on the E40 either side of Brussels now.

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Thanks mark.

So as said before, stick to speed limits. They will be looking for the likes of us.

If you wanna go tearing off, you can do it on your own :doubleup:

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

I know of someone who did Calais to Nurburg in 2.5hrs :cuckoo: :lol:

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Jeeeeeeeesuz!!!!!! :shock:

It's amazing that people take the risk, especially when they have the power to take your car.

I'm not going to be doing a "driving Miss Daisy" by any stretch but no fast blatts at all.

One question that comes to mind, over here as a rule, there is the 10% tolereance rule that you can pretty much get away with except in a 30 :roll:

Is this the case in Europe? 110kph must be 110kph? And not near 120kph?

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

He was on an R1 I think, it works out an average speed on 112mph.

No idea about their tolerances. I tend to cruise below 3k rpm if I'm in not rush, I got 400miles out of a tank last time. Although I'm no stranger to stretching the old girls legs, say if I'm late for the ferry/train :whistle:

I'm on the 8pm Norfolkline ferry on Friday so I'll be arriving at my mates house at 3am in Adenau so I'll no doubt see you by the track Saturday afternoon. I'll be the grumpy looking guy in a blue 55 plate Impreza STi with a NorthLoop sticker in the rear window.

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
 

Blinding stuff Mark.

Your "Ring Hog" sticker has turned up today too! :doubleup:

Re: Nurbergring - Meeting times
