Do we know your co-pilot, Nath?

Or, more to the point, has Flora given her permission? :evilgrin:

Lets just say he'll be a 'quality' co-pilot!  :wink:

Very sad that my wingman can't make this trip.  :sad1:

I've had a reply back from Dino at Nurburgring Experience, seems like a nice chap, also sent me a list of their rental cars - I'm quite tempted to hire one of their Clio 197s out there and they dont require a 5k deposit upfront - unlike Hotel Nordschleifes cars!

If I do this I'll do it the proper way and go with Nurburgring Experience as I like the idea of being with an organised group!  He has even promised me some (hot) sighting laps in his M3 which I'm looking forward to  :congrats:

There will also be a photographer with his group the entire weekend. Only cost for that is £30 for a DVD of ALL the pictures taken - bonus!

Just waiting on my mates to confirm their time off and will confirm asap.

I'll be going with the Nurburgring experience too. It is my first trip out there and really wanted the experience and back-up of a guide who knows the ins and outs....so to speak+ :laugh:

Knowing how I tend to get carried away in the moment, it could well be me hitting the armco at some stupid speed :ashamed:

No doubt we will all arrange to meet up once out there - it would be rude not to :happy2:

Just to confirm,

I've managed to book Thursday Night off work and so will definitely be going to the 'ring (assuming car is done by then and running okay).

Like I mentioned in the previous post I'll be going with the Nurburgring experience, but still look forward to catching up with everyone over there at some point. :smiley:

Great news, mate!  :happy2:

I'll sort out a Travelodge booking for us for Thursday night.

Are you guys (Nath, QD, Steve, etc) going to be staying Thursday night at the Travelodge like before?

I saw Mat today and he's trying to source a VW Transporter to tow and also for him and Nicole to sleep in.

:happy2:

Nope we will be traveling down on the Friday morning this time as we aren't planning on getting an early train.
