It was very unfortunate with what happened to yours the first year but your scoob is now sorted. Personally I cant see the point of having 400+ horses and only using 10 of them?? One of the best things about the trip for me is having a laugh on the way and on the way back. Not being board out your brains driving at 70mph. I personally think it will be near on impossible to keep everyone together being as there are so many of us. Perhaps it would be better to have a slow and an even slower group.

It won't be like when people just piss off and leave others at the side of the road broken down. As some people have done in previous years. We will cruise down at 80-85 ish, the same as last year and the year before. You can crack on, if you don't want to go with the main group, that's your choice. I can't see what the issue is really. |

I like the option really. May 80/85. Sept 90/100. I'm crap as you lot have found out with my directions. I do like to have a blatt though when we see a Porker or such like. Thing is I'm still lost at the end of the blatt
We will sort It out no probs it will still be a fantastic laugh. We dont want three groups going there or back. Newbies need looking after on route & I don't mean lots of toilet stops eighther ! You will be left behind top gear style. When my turbo bust I had friends there to help & I will do the same for others. Hopefully nothing will happen that way this year. :EVO: |

There was never any intention of Miss Daisy drives to Germany. It's a case of looking after the group, watching you disappear after the porkers, GTR's, Lambo's etc and waiting for that "where the fook am I" phone call It'll sort itself out, it always does I have put Ian's post down to him having a sugar rush or something |

The 1st year we went overall was a nice pace, The 2nd year was very slow, until something fell off the lead car. Last year was at a nice pace also apart from the person that was drinking a 2ltr bottle of tango. You missed out on that Mr Worzel We have always in the past started together and arrived together. As you say things will sort themselves out, if I was not looking forward to this my forth trip I definitely would not be going. With 22 cars its going to be interesting that's for sure. I just hope there are not any vehicle failures.

We might be travelling out earlier again this year for a bit of a break somewhere in Belgium or Germany, so will probably meet you guys at Jackies like we did a couple of years ago.

I really liked doing that last year, it makes that journey so much nicer. Any ideas of where? We stopped in Louvan for a few hours after leaving Brussels, that was lovely there. |

We were thinking of Ghent or Leuven (after your recommendation last year) or failing that, heading into Germany to somewhere on the Rhein again (maybe Koblenz). Plenty of options

I'm think I'm going to head to Anterp on my September trip this year, my great uncle who I'm named after died there and Ive found where his grave is in the Royal Navy grave yard, only 18 when he died and was only his second day fighting on the front line

Be Careful in France - They are really clamping down.
Last year my bother got caught doing 100mph in a 60 zone, and it ended up costing him approx 4000 euro, and his pride and joy impounded for nearly 12 months, and 2 visits to a court. Plus the loss of the use of the car over what was supposed to be a petrol head driving weekend. And if as a group we didn't stump up 1400 euro in cash on the spot, he would have gone to jail there and then. So be warned - Things can get a little more nasty than a slapped wrist and a modest on the spot fine. |

I would expect they know it's a long weekend on the Ring so "La Rozzers" will be out in numbers. Once you hit the derestricted Autobahns you can go as nuts as you like. But it's just too risky to go silly beforehand. Take note everyone |

Don't get me wrong, I also love the derestricted sections, I only wanted to make sure you guys are aware of what can happen (hopefully not). But maybe you know this anyway. |

Thanks for that heads up Kerstin, I didn't know that, so it's good to have in the memory banks.
After 4 hours in the car, by the time we get to the de-restricted sections, most people only have a "little play". |
