Dave,
Seafrance number 0870 240 8070 it is also in the back of the club mag (Feb/Mar) issue along with the promotion code you need to use. The reason for the trailer is that Gill's back suffers badly on the drive there and back. The Belgium roads are the worse offenders. The big comfort seats will help cushion the ride. Cheers |

Try www.directferries.com Dave. They did a good deal for me on the SeaCat this year. Looks like I'll be going V early Friday morning and coming back V late Sunday, ideally on the SeaCat again.
Dave, you really must be dedicated to drive that track car all the way to the Ring !

I was thinking the Zur-Burg Hotel as Kevin says it's nice, plus it is also in the middle of Nurburg village and within walking distance to the Pistenklause.
I think 215DMX, Dave G and maybe Uwe are looking to book somewhere. Shall we all go for the Zur-Burg ? |

Uwe.After a few beers in the Pistenklause,it's nice to not have to drive back to Haus Marvin.
Have a look at www.nuerburg.de and then take your pick. |

This sounds like great fun and would be very tempted to come but I am a track day virgin and not sure if it would be prudent to do some track days in good old blighty first before venturing onto the ring. May try and get a friend on board who also has an E30 M3 and track experience. Also, may have the same problems convincing my nearest and dearest, maybe DAWIEM3 can organise some sort of great-escape committee, he seems to be willing. I thought about a life-size cut out of myself with playback messages that say "yes dear" every 10 minutes - that might just work. If you checked out my cam posting you will know I will be getting these checked and the whole car given a complete check over as well, but I presume certain spares whould be essential to take with you on such an adventure. If things work out it would be great to meet you guys. Please be frank about track day experience as I would value your comments very much. Kevin

DAWIE, all sorted now!
But I like the the thing with the memory loss 
RattusM3, who says you need to go like a lunatic when driving on track? Take it easy, especially on the Ring!!! I am sure you can have plenty of passenger laps to make your mind up to drive yourslef or not. The Ring is nothing like you have seen before I can assure you this! And nobody here will call you coward when taking your time on the Ring.

Uwe, Great news to know you managed to broker a deal, and are going. RattusM3, Take your time at the ring, enjoy the company, and lap when you want to at your pace. There is nothing to prove to anyone as we all started somewhere and give the Ring the utmost respect. No a La clarkson laps on the first lap. Come along, you know you want to. |

I thought you'd try and change your plans and go Uwe . Nice work
RattusM3. Just going to the Ring in your car is more than a lot of people would do with their cars . Just remember the Ring is a public toll road and not NOT a race track . Drive like you would on the road and there won't be a problem. |

Thanks for the feedback guys, Hope I did not give too wrong an impression, I think I am more worried about track protocol rather than how fast I should be trying to get round one on my first outing but I am sure you fine gentleman if I asked would show me the ropes. Also as stated its also about enjoying the occasion with like minded people. Besides trying to prove something to veterans and then crashing your car in the process is not what I call very clever, believe you me. Kevin |

You can believe me/us. The RING is like nothing you have seen before. You will see. There is not much room for errors, and if things go wrong they go wrong with 120mph+ and trees all around you. Take it easy, I do as well! |

Mmmm, I think I'm starting to get the picture. Might buy a volvo then and try that first. On a more serious note, I appretiate your words of caution and emphasis that the ring should NOT be treated as some sort of track day outing, and when the time comes take it easy I will - HONEST Edited by rattusM3 |
