I'm Thinking of going to the Ring some time early next year, Just wondered if any one else from the club would be intrested. I know it costs a lot of dosh, this is why I am putting this thread up so soon. mabey we could have a chat about it at next EOM. see if any one is interested. and it will give scooby guys and girls plenty of time to get some dosh put to one side.


Bez

 

yes yes yes!!!! thought about suggesting it myself for a few mates... come on!!

 

Definitely interested in going there

 

Because there is plenty of time before we go I hope we can get plenty of others to come.
we all have the cars that can do the ring, they are good for going to the shops, thats why are lass said I could have one. yes the shopping does get done a bit quicker. like I said the ring they can do.
It will be a good trip on the way there, and a good trip on the way back, and a fantastic time on the ring.
and maybe 1 or 2 drinks in the evening.

I will get some more info together for the EOM. if any one else can get any info it would be good.

I am willing to organise the trip to the ring, if anybody would like to help they can, you are all welcome. If any body wants to organise it they can, I don't mind. I just want to go. but it will be loads better if you lot come along as well.

Many thanks

Bez

Hi Guys
Going on holiday so will not be at EOM but will be at Blyton.

There is plenty of info on this sight
Ben Lovejoy's Nurburgring Nordschleife website

Bez

 

I was about to recommend that site. Sit down with a beer and read his trip reports from start to finish, well worth the effort. We're off over there in October, and I've been trying to save all year and still haven't managed to get enough together!
Well worth the sacrifice though, just being there, in the carpark is enough, nevermind actually driving the thing!
If anyone needs any info, give me or any of the SMACS a shout, we're getting to know the place quite well now

Thanks for that mate

So you Defo think the trip is worth it?
"Were off over there in October" MMMMMMM
Dont think it will be till early next yr before we will be going.
I'v had a look at the sight, Every question that you want to ask is answered on there.

Your car looks well my friend, they are the wheels I would like on mine. where can I get some from? I'm not copying off you, I have seen the wheels before but don't know where I can get some.

Bez

 

Yes, even you've got even an ounce of petrol in your veins, the trip is worth it. It can be done on a budget, and this year there are a few people sharing cars to achieve that. It means you might not get to drive your p&j on the track if you go with someone, but you're there and can be given rides around all day long
I've got a passenger this time, and he's actually hiring a proper ring car when he gets there, as his daily driver is now a volvo!

As for wheels, there are some available now in the for sale section:

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...l-18-t1rs.html
and I think Alloy Wheels Chrome Black White | Devil Axe Lenso 4x4 Zinik Alba Gateshead Tyne and Wear UK used to sell replicas too.

 

Thanks for the info on the wheels bud.

Can't wait till I have a go on the ring

Bez

 

Im off there next year, few Evo's at the minute, was trying to incorporate the Stelvio pass but it might be a bit too much with only a few days spare.

 

that would be driving heaven!!! hmmm just had discs and pads done... i could cope...

 

Have they stopped setting on fire then?

 

fire shmire, they're fine... i'm sure all the smoke is a natural bedding in process that we all encounter yeah all seems spot on ta, stops straight, no wheel judder (used to rive my arms off) and braided hoses seem to help the feel... 14hr days mean no real test yet, but i'm preparing

 

Glad it's sorted mate

Thinking about getting some braided hosses... Let me know how the test goes

 

Hi Bob. I had all thet same you had done to your brakes just about the same time as well. I had a little boy in corsa wanting to play tonight. so we played. the brakes were so sharp, spot on. can't wait for Saturday. Can't wait for the nurburgring. we need to start looking at dates for the ring soon.

Bez

 

yeah, maybe an extra coffee some time at squires to get it started eh?? all interested pop along if possible? i'll be working saturday...

the corsa must have been on drugs to play with your beastie, although saying that watch out for a hdi badged 306 near cas that toasted my mates WRX ha ha

 

Good idea bob. working when Blyton on!!!!!!

I go on holiday on 21st for 2 wk so I will not be at the end of month.

Had a race with a corse Diesel at the pod, well that what it said on the back of it. I might as well been walking. he had a bottle of NOS in the back of it the size of a pro scoober diver, and he beet this scooby driver.

What a day.

but we will get the ball rolling for the ring ASAP

Bez

 

googled the Stelvio pass for some nice pics.... that would make a top road trip if we could tag it onto the ring!!!! hmmm..... week off work maybe ha ha

 

It's got to be good, great ,fab. bet you can't wait.
just had a look at your car. nice and nice numbers.

Bez

 

YEs yes yEs yes YES YES YeS yeS YEs yes yEs yes YES YES YeS yeS
YEs yes yEs yes YES YES YeS yeS YEs yes yEs yes YES YES YeS yeS
I'm not sure!
Lets ask the others

Bez

 

I think with a week off mate its easy to incorporate, I got the distances up;

Day 1

Depart from Hull to Rotterdam
Depart 21:00 - Arrive 08:15

Day 2

Rotterdam to Nurburg - distance 336 km
Time; about 3 hours 24 mins

All day at ring from probably around 12pm onwards..

Day 3

Nurburg to Bormio (Italy, nr Stelvio Pass) - distance 737 km
Time; about 7hrs 45 mins



Its that 3rd day thats needs splitting up, but the distances will give you some idea

 

Brave, brave people.

I'd take 10 days to do the two. At least. There's so much more to it than 'just' getting there.

You're not just gonna want to go to the ring for an afternoon surely? You'll need a couple of days there to get a feel for the place and to feel like you've actually been. Well I would, and that is without even contemplating taking the car round.

I've only done the Alps once, but I did most of the planning, and believe me Stelvio may have been the icing on the cake, but the 4 days leading up to it were the cornerstones of the whole trip.

Think about it, if you're gonna do it, do it right.

I'm not ruling myself out of coming along on this, but it depends on finances, timing and wifey permission slips. I will try and get to any organisational meets you have though, either way.

 

Cheers Sticky, that was just a rough idea of distances, I think id ideally want an afternoon and then a full day at the ring, and I agree after PM'ing you, doing both is nigh on impossible unless you have more than 7 days at it

 

So just for an interest scale who's fancying going????? can organise a get together to start organising then.....
