Change the wedding venue to the Nurburgring Rob, I'm sure everyone will be very understanding.

Roughly. Cardiff, Brugge, Freiberg, Lake Como and back via Trier. Less miles but more days. I'll brief you up.

Warning triangle, GB sticker, spare bulbs, breathalyser kit but I have a spare one in the unlikely event we get tugged in Froggy land and checked, hi viz jacket or vest, headlight deflectors. That's Europe for you, I'll keep adding to the list as I think of things.

I've not got around to sorting anything yet.

Gutted I can't come on this myself guys, I was there Sept last year in my GT-Four and was an awesome week we spent there. We stayed in the Lindenhof, I remember seeing the Tiergarten looked like a great place. I'm off to Mayenne, France in July with swmbo so no chance of fitting this in as well

Seems like a good bunch that's going as well, some of the boys I went over with last year are going over in June this year as well, hopefully someone is going over next year as I really want to get back out there in the WRX!

Sounds like you've prepped well dude, the trip didn't actually seem to take us that long to get there, we went through Belgium which is a little boring with it being mostly motorway but I thoroughly enjoyed every second.

Feedback that I can remember that may/may not help - weirdly in Belgium you have to pay for your petrol before you fill up , I stood at the pump for 5 minutes waiting for it to start before one of the boys told me

Also, fuel in Germany was a little confusing, Super is 95 I and Super+ is 99+. I only found this out after putting $40 worth of 95ron in my GT-Four that was specifically mapped for 99 I was not impressed with myself! make sure you pick up the right pump!

Have an awesome weekend guys and watch your mirrors when your on circuit, first lap was the most intense 10 mins (and 38 seconds) of my young life!

Inspiration!

Myself, the Mrs, Ian and Matt spent a day there last year as part of the Euro trip. I got one lap in but didn't want to chance getting involved in someone else's accident so early in the trip so decided discretion was the better part of valour. I'm sure we'll be doing something like this again
Here's the link below of the trip we did last September.
