SteveR Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 mini update: yesterday I sent a couple of emails to some accomodation I know about, but so far had no luck. In defiance of the odds, I've sent a larger batch of emails to a fair few guesthouses/etc, so we'll see what replies land in my inbox tomorrow.... it's all a matter of perseverance!

Jspec Germany Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Gents, it brings me great sadness to have to inform you that I cannot make the end of July dates. I have to go to Las Vegas. Yes, I have to go. Large exercise that I can't get out of. I will be making several trips this year though and hope that we can get together in April/May/June/August before I leave end of August/beginning of September to go back to the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I know, poor effort - Vegas Vs the Ring... no question where I'd pick! Although poor Ian will be at Sainsburys! (lol sorry mate! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just to the 'Ring mate - next year I'll probably sort a European road trip of some description. The Ring is awesome, you should come I've been to the ring several times already and as awesome as it is i really want to do a rd trip with a day at the ring then move on. Im not sure i want to spend 4 days there to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure i want to spend 4 days there to be honest. Fair play. I think next year I'll go for a bit of an adventure round Europe. I'd love to pretend I can afford to do both this year, but not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 DnK, fancy the drive down to the Stelvio Pass? There's a thread floating around about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Mike I can't make it either but will have to go this year at some point Let me know when. April, May, June, and first 2 weeks of July are good! I know, poor effort - Vegas Vs the Ring... no question where I'd pick! Believe me Steve, I'd rather be at the Ring with you lot. This exercise is brutal and I'll be working 10-16 hour days with only a weekend to unwind, have some fun, and try to recharge before week two starts. I'll be sure to pull a few slots and drink a few free cocktails for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It wont be the same without you mike, for 1 we`ll struggle to order food at meal times and 2 nobody to laugh at taking a p$ss in the field on the way back from the pub, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the pointy clicky method and motion your hand up and down in a tilting motion when you order a beer. If all else fails, remember the phrase, "Beer oond Schnitzel bittah". When you guys get closer to the date, I'll give you the crash course in a day. As for pissing in the field. Don't worry, somebody else will do it.

I'd love to pretend I can afford to do both this year, but not a chance. Same as me, i'd love to do the ring and a rd trip but the cost is too much to do both properly hence i fancy a day at the ring then move on to say Stelvio then drive further down Italy to Modena cutting across to say Monaco then back up the Route Napoleon through the Verdon Gorge !! oh and the Milau Bridge eating and drinking fine food and wine all the way !!

SteveR Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Update: I've made a few updates to the info on page 1, and sent a PM to those going with details of the ferry journies you all need to book. Top Tip: watch this video (also linked from page 1). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6p78B8ZEfg (although helmets aren't "mandatory" - ignore that bit, but DO take one if you've got one.)
