When we get to the 'ring then it's playtime, I'm dying to find out what the 2005 JDM-spec engine coupled with the Type 25 suspension kit can do, but until then I'd rather enjoy the scenery. Hope that's OK with everybody.
Terry: plan looks good, will read through it properly in detail during the week.

Coming back a day early won't be a problem - save a day's worth of hotel bills and the ferry can be organised - although I don't know what time it would be sailing, etc.

Excellent mate - me too.
The Eurohoon (from Pistonheads/ Gassing Station) tour will take them to the Nurburgring at the same time we are there - so another good meet with a bunch of petrolheads....

I'm still searching for a co-driver at the mo terry. I've asked the lad who services my car, but doubt he'll come, and also my dad (father son bonding holiday ) but he's not sure either 
Still coming though even if I don't get anyone to share the petrol

There are other options if she isn't coming. Trying to get HarryMattson to come along (with or without his GT4)
Can't wait for all those corners

In September? Nah, you won't need them - the weather here on the continent is considerably warmer than in the UK. They say that a good summer follows a hard winter - if that holds out we should be in for a real heatwave (and a rather balmy indian summer I hope) as the winter we've just had has been a rough one!

si, I'll pay half your fare as long as those kids don't sleep in the room next to mine
on a serious note, do you really think it'd be a good idea to bring them along, I was thinking of bringing my 8 and 9 year old, but decided against it. Not sure they'd really like to be sat in the car for that long a journey.
