Just curious?

[Brind]

Would any of you want to have a meet in Germany for example one day?

You can take your car on the DFDS Seaways ferry which goes from Newcastle and Essex to a few places up and down Germany.
Would be good to have all these cars on the ferry and then drive off to Nurburgring or something..

Just an idea...

currently im skint.. need a better IT Job, or atleast one where i dont spend 100 a week on fuel :Cry1:

but it sounds like a super idea!

[Simon]

I like the idea of going on the autobahn...safer than the M4!

[Roadrunner]

One of these days ....

And would you believe that I like the idea of Germany

AND the Nurburgring!

Will need to be around dates when track open for a decent period of time

Nurburgring Nordschleife is open during weekdays but not usually for a full day - w/e are better but would need to be a full day or better still a full w/e opening to give more flexibility for our plans i.e. lots of time on track!

Alright, my plans! I could not go for a quick burst, a lap or two or three. Once you've tried it you want to keep doing laps at least thats how i FEEL

So a few days in Germany, great idea

Sell some body parts Barry.

We go over to Germany every Christmas, usualy take a car with us but last year we took a plane because it was cheaper.
Now I have the VR-4! there is no way in hell I'm leaving it behind!

But anyway, see what happens and what dates we can all do.
I'm very adaptable since I'm self imployed.

Here is the Ferry details: http://www.dfdsseaways.co.uk

If it's dates some time close to Cristmas then a Ring visit is off - no track time

But between now and late Sept - yes it's worth a visit. Late Sept at latest as weather is so changeable in the area and Oct is when it can start being much wetter/colder/snow/sleet - you get the picture

I have been at Easter a couple of years ago and the Sunday was a white out - everywhere snow

So good dates and days for rest of 2003

I think someone here is eager?

Good job at getting dates together.:thumb: now lets see what people have to say now.

[chris g]

Me eager, no! Addicted, YES!

In 5 hours I set off for Dover for w/e at Ring then Spa on Mon and Wed at A1-Ring

All for laps in the VR-4 - and it now has a new s/s exhaust courtesy of Tube Torque Macclesfield

Different noises from start up and throughout rev range

Holds higher gears longer and changes up sooner in auto - all due to better breathing and power available I understand

See how it goes this coming week and let you know

[chris g]

I am already planning to go 18-23 June if anyone wants to be a passenger

Also 8-11 Aug and 15-18 Aug

And 12-15 Sept

Passengers welcome anytime
