The ring trip on the 20th of Sept...

[baz7175]

Stig mentioned that some of you guys are over here in the Fatherland the weekend of the 20th...I'm hoping to make the short run from here down to the ring to say hello, but coincidentally was talking to one of my colleagues in work this afternoon and it turns out his club (7 series beemers) are also going to be down at the ring on the 20th (primarily the south loop) and he was quite interested to hear that some more Monaros and R8's were coming to Germany too

That will be the trip I mentioned on here. Im going but in a ford unfortuantely, Stigs coming and a couple of other mates are taging along. If your gonna be there look out for Stigs car being led round the ring by a silver 04 plate ST220 Mondeo!

What dates are you guys going ?? Its the 19th to the 21st isn't it ?

[baz7175]

I'm not sure if the 'ro can make the trip, but my little ring weapon (1.2 Corsa) may make an appearance

There's also an Opel show that TV are coming over to visit too, I'm kinda torn between the two choices at the moment...

[S800VXR]

Leave on the Sat - 19th and return on the 21 - Monday.

b.) father-in-law has a dicky ticker, is an ex army driver and is constantly telling me to change gear here, brake there, turn now. Thats just on the drive

You cant potter, we need to see smoke out off the rear tires as you drift through Adenau bridge, all the driving gods do it!
I cant do that in the Ford, crappy FWD!

[SimonV8ster]

[S800VXR]

Hotel Rieder - its just down the road from the ring, basically in the middle of a small housing estate. Very nice and easy to get to.

One of the main supporting pillars was found to be freestanding which had caused vibrations etc....there's no current estimate for when it will be back up and running again...

I assume your taking the new wagon Stig or is it another hairdresser convention you're covertly planning to attend?

One thing to be aware of (I know you guys have been before etc, but always worth saying)...the bikers at the moment are nutters, with the weather starting to get pretty changable over here it's like they're thinking the worlds going to end after their next lap and are taking some big risks at times.

It's always the same when the better weather comes, they go mental for the first week or so then it calms down a bit until now when they know the good weather is coming to an end again...

[stigmundfreud]

i'll treat bikers like rabits that run into the road then?
