im organising it so will be collecting money at the end of February £100 deposit then he remaining balance paid 6 weeks before we go.

The Nurburgring Experience #1 for tours clubs groups forums is the website we are going through.

£350 for the driver and £250 per passenger. This gets ferries and accomodation and his know how and back up if things so **** up.

then its 21 euro per lap of the ring.

Jamie, dont want to **** you off here but you will save money if you sort this yourself! There are plenty of free leaflets for info and only you can learn the track! It wont be 21euro a lap next year either, it went up 2 euros since last year! You can get a group discount on ferrys too. Effectivly you are paying someone to organise your trip for you. I can give you a hand mate if you wish and we cut the middle man out!

By the way i posted your new Turbo the other day for Ian as he is away!

ahh nice one cheers mate. Who did you post it with just he sent me the tracking number but not who its being delivered with lol.

Its just the reassurance of going with someone who has done it all before and he knows the nice roads to drive etc and we do the schumacer go karting on the way home.

Plus he knows the way round and we wont get lost

i think its a good idea for a first trip, then if you go back do it yourself, but for the first time i think it will be better to go on an organised trip mate.

Yeah Ian is away sunning himself the lucky bugger.
thats gonna be an awesome car of his if he does the build he is planning.

I wasn't as lucky as i was hoping for you know, gale force winds kept the temps down (could do with them under the bonnet really) and most stuff was shut as its still pre season for them, came home early as a result :-(, not bad little 2470 mile round trip though.................... i WILL not be doing it again!

I'd be inclined to think the postman will deliver it Jamie as it went parcelforce, it's all we get from where we are!

I'm just looking at what components to fit into my build and debating as to whether to do it myself as well? but 450/450 should be fun in a classic, must remember the new brakes......
