Timwildman Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Sorry couldn't resist after the NUR spec-r thing. Theres a thread on supra forums about the german supra meet at the ring. Nurburgring meet Could be a nice trip through germany and nice trip round the track. I'll have to check the diary, but it can't be anything but fun.

millhouse Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Calais to Nurburgring is 290 miles i was going to watch the F1 there in 2001, but i could not get any tickets, so i went to the French GP at Magny Corrs instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I drove back almost past the 'ring last year on my way back from my Europe trip, but I stopped off in Brussels so I'm not sure on the times. Bit longer than 4 hours I'd say. Most insurance includes cover in Europe these days, you just have to tell them when you're going. If you're in the AA, breakdown cover will cost you £34 for up to 24 days . RAC is much the same. In theory if you are driving at night you should have headlight convertors, but I drove 3000miles and never bothered. Well actually I did buy some, but couldn't figure out where to stick them . Also in theory in Germany + Beligium you are supposed to carry a first aid kit, warning triangle and fire extinguisher. Oh, and whatever you do DO NOT take a radar detector or anything that looks like one into France. They will literally rip your car to bits to remove it and confiscate it. Driving over there is so much better than here though. I just bought tunnel tickets to go to Le Mans this year - they were £113 return, but they were doing a special offer at the time which has now finished. If you join the points plus scheme you get 10% off (but it costs to join). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrenn Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Oh, forgot to mention...been to a couple of these German Toyota club meets at the 'Ring - usually pretty well organised, plenty of cars to check out (not all done in the best possible taste, it might be said... ) but pretty good day/weekend out. Might consider joining this meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Could always get the ferry from Poole Tim. It's a four hour crossing though, and a longer drive the other end too. Plus last time I went on it I had to put up with a couple of "entertainers" doing Chris DeBurgh covers on a keyboard in the bar for two hours...

Earthrokka Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I sold my last soop unfortunately but i will try to convince some Criminals from the Westend kru to gimme a co - pilot seat for this trip .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 TIM? Simon? Millhouse? m5 killer? paulrenn? CJ? Earthrokka? (pending lift) Ok starting to look into getting prices for travel hopefully a group discount maybe forth comming, on boat or train. Also staying in a hotel, I would think traveling thursday evening, stay over thursday night, and friday night, return saturday afternoon. If anyone else is intrested, or has any sugestions. P.s. earthrokka dont think my gf wants to do this trip, so may have spare seat if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
