(HA HA HA VERY GOOD) Colin's woken up, nice of you to join us !!!! ha ha ha !!!!

you know for real Colin I made your weekend a scream, without me you would have be bored..

[This message has been edited by cherelle_69 (edited 18 April 2001).]

What a weekend, even without a car. Firstly congratulations to everyone for keeping it all together (both on and off track - with the exception of John F, it's not just his car that is a lightweight) and for what was an overall high standard of driving. Congratulations to the Collie man for driving some blinding laps.

Big thank you to J&C, J&L and Rich_R for their help and generosity. Well done to to the Tool Men, Tim and Paul, whose organisational skills helped out many people during the course of the weekend.

A special mention to Cherelle_"No Fear"_69 who wouldn't drive on Friday but really kicked some arse on her second lap on Saturday. Don't worry Colin, you weren't the only one http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif. I think that I'll avoid being on the same circuit at the same time as Cherelle. Andy, make sure that you collar me next time and we'll get some laps in together. Looking forward to the next one.

Oi CK!

Just clocked your comment. Make sure that it stays that way. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif Don't worry, you know that I'll be back and better prepared than ever before. I might even get my gearbox fixed now. You never know, I could even buy APs then what are you going to do? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif No more talk until I have a video to send to you. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Just remeber that all of the panels except one on my car are original(car park incident, not even in the car at the time). 'Til next time matey.

Thanks Tony..... wouldn't have made that lap so fast if it wasn't for your brilliant instructions.....

Can't wait for the next one!!!!!!

Hopefully next time you could give me instructions in your car .....

No Fear!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Cherelle,

It was a pleasure to teach someone who trusted me so much.....Now about that Impreza I'm selling. One careful owner, an old man who only took it out once per week.... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

It was great to call a corner or brow as flat out and not have the driver stare back at me with a look of utter disbelief shortly before their instinct for self-preservation took over and they hit the brakes. "Keine Angst" as they say in Germany (I think).

The look on Colin's face was priceless as he pulled into the pits behind you and then parked opposite, a classic moment. It's a shame that there was no video in the car, it would have certainly made it into Collie Kisser - Cossiekiller at the Ring, Part 2.

You're welcome to drive my car next time (I think), just go easy on the hotshots. Must find my big book of excuses for not allowing people to drive my car. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

What a weekend!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif Blinding stuff. Getting lost on the motorways, running out of fuel, mad Dutchmen (don't ask), maxing out Ian's brand new STi http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif, riding in the RS200 (cheers Ricahrd http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif )beer, beer and more beer

Great stuff - thanks to everyone who organised the trip, especially Harj. Thanks to all those people who gave me rides around the ring - Harj, Stef, Matt, Rich, Ian, Tony, Robin, Sonu, Mr Cookie http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif etc etc and thanks to Ian for the lift down to Nurburg.

Matt - I'll never say nasty things about diesels again http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Can't wait for the next one http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

..and who'd have thought that with all the flash cars down there, the one that stopped everyone in their tracks (including the entire car park at one point) would be a 15 year old white Ford http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Cheers

Chris

Vodka Red Bull anyone?

Not a bad weekend eh http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Great to see the usual faces and a load of new ones - great bunch! Biggggggg thanks to Harj for organising everything!

Got a few movies done:

Hey Chris - getting lost on the motorways - nothing to do with SAL-NAV was it - or maybe being the only Muppet that drives to Germany and doesn't even take a map with him......... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Guys - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Thanks for your attention.

I don't have time to read through all the reviews of the weekend right now, but I need some help. Did anyone who was there actually see the crash between the BMW and the yellow Porsche 968CS between Schwedenkreuz and Aremburg. If so the owner of the porsche is looking for some help - please post direct to the ringers list if you are a member, or to me if you are not.

RobinIddon@netscape.net.

Thanks for your help.

Robin

have already been in contact with the porche driver,
sending him a letter with all the info on it... as I was in mike's cossie as it happened......

might be a good thing if mike could write a report as well and sign it, I have all the info where to fax info too!!

Dave

I knew it was going to be an interesting trip when we took a wrong turn out of Calais http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Who needs maps (we did...) We were doing OK until the two 2km hike to get fuel http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Chris

Chris

Fancy heading for Lille not Liege http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

Sal http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

PS. sorry! my mistake http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Sal,

Sounds like a simple mistake to make!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif Bit like Genk and Gent eh!! No wonder the poor lads didn't arrive with us until after midnight!

Women! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

Matt

2km hike for petrol http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif there is a petrol station as you come out of the terminal B4 you get on the main road, how did you miss it?

Great to see everyone and thanks to Stef, Harj, MattOz, Rich R, Sonu, and Shaunoss for the rides, bit gutted i didn't find the balls until Sunday to go out, and then couldn't coz it was shut http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif so did Monday instead (thanks to Chris for going out with me http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif)

Once again thanks to Harj for organinsing.

Si

Wurzel - the 2km hike was in bloody Holland not Calais http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

What a laugh though - to be honest I wouldn't change a thing (apart from the weather) - truely great weekend.

Chris

We came off the motorway in Holland to find some gas. I reckon where I live is about the same size as the first town / village we came to. There are four petrol stations round here but none out there http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

Chris.

What an absolutely top weekend!!!

Good to meet up with new faces, and as horrifying as ever to meet up with the old ones http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

As some of you may remember (well those who stayed ish sober...like me http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif ) Paul and I were booked on a different crossing to get back a day after the heard just to get some duty free in http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif In the end we got it, and how, that night and cought the last crossing...Dover is pretty dull at 12am especially when your sitting 30metres out on a boat that can't dock for an hour because some muppet moored up for the night!

Still, here's the duty free that we managed to cram in to the car...
http://secret.lab6.com/uploaded_files/987695953.JPG

Along with the spares kit...
http://secret.lab6.com/uploaded_files/987696017.JPG

And a nasty Belgian road that bent another one of my wheels...
http://secret.lab6.com/uploaded_files/987696063.JPG

Notice that box of wine on top of the rest...there's a bottle in there each for Matt 'Taxi' Oz, Stef 'Bepe/Colliekisser' Reader, John 'day missing' Felstead, Richard 'aRSe' Squire, Owain 'Mr. Fixit' McCrae and Mike 'what's that lead dragging behind your car for?' Rainbird. I think the label says it all about their behaviour http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Definately going over to the 'Ring again...hopefully with the same crew plus a few others http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Such a shame that a rather large chunk of the duty free has now gone...seems I haven't learnt to stop since getting back http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

Tim / Slooby

A piccy of my westie with the roof on, a very rare sight.

That road shook the hell outa me. Probably helped in the demise of my mudguard bracket. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/mad.gif

How the hell did you fit that lot in the car?

Now then, what day is it again http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif LOL

In all fairness to John the weather we left in germany was k'in horrendous http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif got better by belgium http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Si

Seem to remember Rich doing about a 120 down that road http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif Damn near shook my fillings out http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

I hate that bit of road.. If road is the right word for it. Damn nearly launched me into the trees about 3 times.

So when we getting together to share the wine http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif Don't tell me.... Next Tuesday http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

Richard
