binning the motor is quite likely; you've got a distinct advantage over the rest of us of being well-versed in ring lappage... my preperation is limited to watching the repeat of the Scumball programme on the telly and playing forza 2

are there any times of the day that are better to go than others to  get some peace from the banzai locals in their roll-caged golfs and porsches?

is it open at night?

Not open at night, early morning is a good quiet time, but if you're sensible you won't bin it - most accidents are caused by people outdriving themselves. You need to keep an eye on your mirrors to let the local banzai past, but apart from that you'll be fine.

Think we'll need to start a book to see who will make it back:

A. In one piece
B. Alive
C. With their car in one piece
D. With their car on a trailer
E. Scrapped it over there
F. M.I.A
G. Pregnant..
etc....

Would a Legacy GTB be allowed to attend?

I could try a top speed run on the autobahn as it's supposed to be 170 mph.

OK Folks it looks like the best (i.e. only) full weekend is the 28th and 29th June. How does this sound? Depending on where we get the ferry we'd need to either travel Thurs 26th evening or Friday 27th morning, returning during the day on Monday 30th.

Who's up for it and I'll get exact costs for that weekend?

Dates should be ok with me.  I'll pencil them into the diary and hopefully I don't have any weddings to attend that weekend!

Not been on here for a while. Is this a go-er still Steve or like the go-kart syndrome where everyone is a yes, yes, yes followed by a no, no, no.

Ha ha think I can beat Stevie 53 (might let his tyres down first tho or offer him a slab of beer to let me pass him)

OK, at last I have some pricing 

The plan is to cross from Hull to Rotterdam 9pm Thursday 26th June, arriving in good time Friday for the ring at 16.15.
Friday and Saturday night in hotel B&B giving all day Sat on the ring.
Sunday morning on the ring - leaving about 3/4pm to get 9pm boat back from Rotterdam to Hull.
Arrive back in Hull on Monday 30th - travel back to Scotland.

£389 per vehicle - based on 2 people max per vehicle sharing twin/double rooms as required.

We'd need an initial deposit ASAP of £189 per car, then 2 payments of £100, one at the end of April, and another at the end of May. Payments can be by cheque, credit or debit card.

Thoughts?
