Just a couple of questions - Firstly do you get noise testeed before getting onto the Ring. Secondly how many laps do people tend to do in a day ? Do you have to queue up to get on ?

Chaps we might be able to get a good deal on the Ferry Crossing at Tony Quinn is sorting us a deal through Stenna, either this or the Channel Tunnel route of which someone mentioned.

Ive received emails from people and the costs are again as follows:

Right here is an outline to costs:
Fuel to and From Dover £#
Ferry or Channel Crossing £150 for this trip
Fuel to Nurburg @ 295 Miles for a Scoob is around 1.5 tanks which in Euro Fuel Prices around £80
Hotel is around £30-40 per night depending on single or double
Food is around £15 perday
Beer and Tequila more importantly is around £15 per night of unlike some of us £30
Fuel in Germany is around 1/3 cheaper than the UK I think, can't remember I was using Diesel power
1 Lap around the Ring is £7, most people buy a 12 lapper around £75 and that will last you more than a day if you’re a 1st timer.
Ring Memorabilia is around £30 if you want some
Travel Insurance is around £20-40
Breakdown Cover is around £20 for trip
Greencard is a must for travelling in Europe and some insurers charge around £15 for one
Please Please don't bring Travellers Cheques, cash is the main thing or credit cards
Extra Curricular activities such as Go Karting are fairly cheap £10-15 for a good laugh.

You also need to be a major Beef or Pork eater to enjoy the local cuisine

Those who are definite for coming please email me and I will book the rooms at the hotel, I was thinking about Eurotunnel this time as its the same price as Seacat. Opinions please???

Closer to the time a full list of attendees will be published, the above is off the top of my head and im sure there a couple of things I may have forgotten.

Remember the Pub doesn't close until its last man standing and they love us

Hope this helps

Harj,

You got mail.

Sorry forgot to put in e mail, I do not need a ferry booking ( if you are intending to book for everyone). Nearer the time I will find out roughly what time you guys will be in Calais and meet you there, unless anyone is travelling P&O.

Cheers

There's quite a lot of interest being shown here. Harj are you keeping numbers? Maybe we should start a new thread and restrict it people posting a definitite confirmation. Or maybe you're already more organised than that?

Harj,

You've got mail.

Put me down for a single room for my girlfriend and I. No car ferry crossing needed, just space for 2 passengers.

Thanks!

Joel

Question

Harj,

If I said book me a room, what's the latest I could cancel without getting charged? A few irons in the fire at present.

Probably want a lift again (blag, blag ), as my current car goes back to the lease company on the 29th June. Should be sorted to drive out in September though.

Chris.
