now, if i'm right... is it normally warm there in september? cos the weather every other time i've been has caught me out! (left home in shorts and t-shirt, got there it was snowing!!!)
so... this'll be my 4th time there, starting to get a tally of laps up now... have to be careful 'cos they say it's the most dangerous time when you start to think you know the 'Ring... that's when it'll kill you.
will be bearing that in mind...
MattOz, can i book another lap in your Ring taxi, more familiarisation laps...?

Need another single room at the hotel we are all sharing for a friend who is flying over from the States to come along to this. Can anyone help by bunking up with a mate, as she is a she.... 
Tav,
Was told you "may" be prepared to share a room with one of your mates and give up your single?

RS200 was sold some time ago.
I'll be along in my STi5 RA for a bit of fun, if anyone wants lessons, £300 for half a day will cover my costs.
Did someone say Westfield ZEi220???

sold? ...shame... it was a bit of an animal... then again, since the 1st time i went, your westie's gone, mike's saff's gone... and now the rs has gone... what's the world coming to???
that sounds quite reasonable john... i assume that includes driving your car rather for 12 hours than just passengering?

You wait til you see Noz's Westie.
Can you say 520BHP per tonne?
I am placing bets that you can hear the dump valve from the opposite ends of the track

I know a little bit about driving a 330BHP ZEi220 around the nurburgring Edcase.
At least we are all still here to remember those cars and survived them owbow.
No, that fee is for me to give you tuition in your car, with a run as passenger in mine. Cheap at twice the price.

hmm... just checking my insurance with regards driving other people's cars while in Germany...
hopefully the opportunity will present itself to do this...
will be hiring something out there anyway... definately not a golf 1.4 this time though... that thing weighed a ton and only had about 24bhp i'm sure!
what a slug.

Nice one John, thanks. I did some checking today and Eurotunnel at £178 (its come down), and ferry £120 (this one’s gone up :rolleyes), but would rather do the tunnel. Rich eassssssyyyyy.
Owbow, I hope your colouring your hair blue again, it didn’t look that good all oiled up the last time LOL. How come your not bringing your own ride?
Not long to go now

John - as I keep saying to Noz, rather you two than me
I think us lot are going on the ferry. Usually some deals nearer the time, should be fairly quiet around then.

I am on the 09:29 outward and 16:29 return with a couple of others.
Mark, if you join the PlusPoints thing you get 10% off. Free crossing eventually as well
