Copied from another forum lol

Nah I didn't wanna waste my 85 quid on Euorpe break down for no reason

But yeah kinda broke it lol.

Got stuck In traffic around Brussels and was touch and go weather we'd make the ferry.

So got the hammer down and ran real low on fuel, with no time to stop for fuel we pressed on and got to the ferry 10 minutes before it left luckily. As I went up the ramp to top deck it cut out and wouldn't restart

Guess the fuel ran to the back of the tank and sucked air in

Even with that was awesome trip. Actually looking and driving around the Ring it's a big eye opener that no game or UK track comes close to it. Pretty special place.

No footage im afraid I got a few pics going round that's it. Best lap was my first 1 lol 10.26 iirc but had to slow down for a 3 car pile up and I couldn't enter the Caracciola either and I was lost 95% of the time

Going again with some slicks better ride height and a go pro camera and I'm aiming for 9minutes

you should make 9 mins easy.. my mates got a pretty standard minus a map S15 and he made a 9.55. surprised you didnt see him.. its bright yellow hes just got back too!

Yeah saw that a lot was real nice. Yeah hopefully make 9s easy a lad that I was with has 106gti on bodies striped and on slicks running 9.10s

Yeah he went with a big crew of people all from brum area. He is or was an apprentice the year below me

Few NurburgRing iPhone pics will upload the DSLR ones later some time







Where we stayed

Cheers Chris

Place we stayed was pukka bed and breakfast real nice. Bloke who owns it is English and is an instructor for the ring which is good as you get there thinking your a driving god high as as kite as you've just gone mental down the autobahn drove some awesome mountain B roads, so he brings you back down to earth with a 20 minute video crash course of how bad things can get going round the ring. Real eye opener but good.

The lad who organised it has sorted it for the last 8 years and always been there so get a good rate for group booking but book the ferry and hotel in ashford separate all on all about 500 quids or fuel food etc.

Awesome trip be doing again.

I might join in on this next year... always talked about organising but no one ever commits in the end <!-- s:-( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:-( --> ha
