Although i look a bit older i am going to be turning 30 in April so was trying to think of something different to do as opposed to a normal party.

The 2 choices were.........
1) A weekend at the Nurbergring
Or

2) A drive up to Scotland and work back down the country taking in as many great driving roads as possible

Looking in to cost the 2nd option is the one i've decided to go for

Looking at a drive up to Scotland on the Thursday along the motorways, then start heading back on friday,stopping overnight on friday and saturday along the way.

Should be a cracking driving weekend.

Anyone is welcome to join me if they fancy a weekend on some of the best driving roads in the UK

 

A though paper round takes it's toll eventually

 

Sounds good, I didnt think of anything like this when I turned 30. I just went on a holiday sat on a beach!

When's the off? Roads are gonna be a bit icy up there at the moment!

 

Oh bugger!! I clearly didnt read the original post properly lol So the trip would be end of April then lol Bit rainy up there then

 

Sounds interesting

 

I'll be walking down the aisle on the 30th, so couldn't make it.

Out of curiosity, what did the costs come out at for both options?

 

I'm hitting FORTY in 9 days, i've planed fish & chips.

 

I dunno you youngsters Sounds a cool road trip Calv - I would be interested 30/40 those were the days !!

 

Sounds a good trip I was 30 once

 

The German trip would have worked out around £1500 by the time you take fuel,accomadation,insurance,laps ect.

Scotland im looking at around £500-£700 depending on fuel prices.

 

Cheers Kev

 

Going to try and finalize dates later in the week now

 

Sounds good Party in Rossi's?

 

Look at France, did a trip to the Alps last summer in the wifes MX5
Ferry's can be booked very cheap and motels can be done for 30 euro a night with up to 3 people sharing.
Think of all those alpine tunnels in a scoob
I reckon you could do it cheaper than Scotland TBH.

Just another option to think about you can always take in loads of WWI WWII stuff which is a real must for those that have not been.
Great excuse to head south for some nice weather and a bottle of Red

 

My paper round was equally just as tough

 

 

You'll be insuring the Scoob with SAGA soon.

 

Good shout Kev. Maybe a trip down south to Monte Carlo aswell
Im sure a Subaru will fit in well with all the Ferrari's and Lambos

 

Do premiums go down past 40???

 

Im sure you will be classed as a mature driver then Jarv

 

Mine has not gone down and i am past 50 cheers

 

Christ Glenn i thoght you were younger than Tyrone

 

Only if they know you are a good driver plus your declared profession in the motor trade will count against you as well.

It's nice to see that we will both be the same age shortly Jarvis, although mentally you have a bit of catching up to do yet...

 

By the way Calvin, happy birthday as well for April.

 

 

Thanks Jarvis

 

I'll probably be up for the France thing dates dependent!! need more motorway miles than town as the M5 seems to **** fuel round town be a good leg stretcher for it tho

Jarv, having Ryan working for you will soon make you look your age

 

I'm confuddled
Is Jarvis now Black Hawk??

 

Autobahn for your beast Merv

 

Indeed Kevin need to get it mapped and derestricted

In 6th, it does 30mph per 1000rpm and has a 7k limit
