Hi all did anyone else here go to the ring 3-5 May?

Could not believe the dam weather rain and snow,my first time there only managed to get in 6 laps but boy was it fun. Went with three other guys who took bikes,they came round with me too bad to take bikes round at any fun speed. Cant wait to go again if anyones planning future trips let me know. One of the guys took some video footage with some amusing comments will try to upload to somewhere when he sorts it. Loads of scoobys there any of them you?

It snowed when we were there last Easter. If I remember rightly, Stef has some very interesting footage of 250BHP Scoobs leaving some 911s with considerably more horsepower looking a little foolish The joys of AWD

We had all weather types - snow, hail, rain, sun - you name it.. Makes the Ring a little more interesting (if that's needed)

Noticed a weather forecast gadget called a Treo, on that link. Has anybody got a web address for these, or know where they are sold on the net? They look intersting.

Cheers,

Wrexy.

I saw both those light green scoobys at the ring. According to Gossythevaleter they are one of the easiest colours to keep clean, unlike my black Skoda! What is the official name for that colour?
