This year diferent scoob and needs clutch, plus having exhaust and remap.

One year I do hope I can just wash and go

Take your old one job done.

You would probably enjoy it more because you would not be so worried about any miss haps.

You couldn't be more wrong mate, I didn't spend 12k to leave it at home on the best drive of the year

I agree with what your saying about the money, you have spent.

For me though it would good one year to drive a lesser valued car round the ring,

so that if the sh1t did hit the fan,

it would not be such a catastrophe as it would be should something go wrong with your latest pride and joy.

Perfect world would be drive pride and joy down and then rag a hired track car around

[Anger]

That's a very small list compared to mine

How comes James , thought yours is all sorted

[Scooby_Greg]

Like Martyn said mate, 8.00am boat out on Friday and return home on Tuesday. Some people may want to leave early and go on Monday, but with the track open all day I thought it was well worth an extra day off work

Strip interior, then fit the 6point cage and weld in, Empty back doors and cover, then Respray the interior

Not much then?

[Lucky]

I am struggling. Mike's not able to do it, so no wing man at the moment and I am trying to shift holiday dates around at work . I will take my name off the list to alow someone else to step in as its not looking likely for me. If I can change it, and there is still space, then great, but I dont want to stop someone else going if I bail out.

No lucky thats not good,

I thought you were the BOSS.


perhaps you should get together with Greg ??

[Steve_PPP]

Thats a shame Lucky

Hopefully you can sort something out, think of the bottles of red wine you'll be missing!!

Blimey James plenty to do.

Good idea Ian , steve and Greig

[Lucky]

Believe me guys, I am doing my best to get it sorted. Problem I have is there are 3 of us in my office and this clashes with one of the others time off, so if i am away it leaves one, which doesnt work.

Steve I know what you mean, there's only two of us that run the south install , we can't both have same time off .
Fortunately he has not booked any holiday yet.

Sorry guys - been mulling it over and given we'd have to come over Friday evening/night arriving around 11/12pm and leave Sunday afternoon it's just not worth it for basically one day as the trip cost will not be much cheaper than the full deal due to having to get the tunnel. Hope you guys have a good one.

Oh Nick that's such a shame .
Do understand though, it's an expensive couple of days .

[SpecB]

If we could have stayed until the Monday I'd have gone for it like our first year but without the bank holiday it's only really a one day trip!

On things to do. Water leak minor, transfer box , map & sensor. Tax & mot.

Understand your reasons mate but thats a real shame you and Sian can't be there

[RobEvo5]

Hi I'm looking to pull together the guys I go to Le-man with each year to defect to the Ring this year as a change and because we now hate the gen'darms.

But Looks like the hotel is all booked up assuming all names put down are going, but if 4-5 twin rooms open up and you dont mind me and a few petrol heads tagging along let us know. Else we will look into neighbouring hotels, and prob tie up one evening at your hotel.

Cheers

Stick you names down Rob, there are plenty of Hotels, and TBH you want one as far away from Nige and Crowman as possible.

I'm just waiting on 100% confirmation of names and exact numbers. But I'm fairly confident we will be needing 4 twin rooms ideally comfort. But compared to a tent at Le-man anything will do really.

If could sound them out, whilst talking and provisionally book would be superb.

Thanks

We now have a confirmed 10 people wishing to come and possibly another 3 tbc, spread over 5 cars (possibly 6 tbc). Is the contact at the hotel english speaking ?. I'm happy to make contact, to discuss potential for our rooms, but conversely I dont want to tread on toes. Were looking to take the Tunnel as I get bad sea sick, and the tunnel is superfast and easy. But would catch up on route on way down if we get the tunnel.

Good news Rob, I'm tempted by the Tunnel aswell at the moment especially as it's only £30 different.
That's £30 well spent IMHO, especially for the journey home where we can be accross the channel and home by the time the ferry does the same trip.

Rob

Jackie is English speaking, but she is currently on holiday.

Ideally, both her and myself like to keep it as dealing 1 to 1 just to save any crossed wires. We has a bit of that first year and was a nightmare for her.

As soon as she's back I will get in touch and get things sorted

Plus trains don't sink - It would be be good to have your company and a veteran in the convoy, and would give more time either end for pit stops.

Will hold off making arrangments with tunnel Until I know where we are with Hotel, and tunnel can be sorted last minute anyway.

[Skullfudge]

What happened to the School teacher & his wife who got married last year and came to The Ring with us ???

Cant remember their names ??

[Anger]

Nick and Sian... Can't come with school duties

[SpecB]

Glad we made an impression Clive

Yep unfortunately can't come this year as could only really get there late Sat (11pm last time we did it leaving at 3) and would have to leave lunchtime on Sunday so not really worth it for a day and a half... Bloody rockers!

[Scott.T]

Just waiting to see who else get's the tunnel, but these seems like a good deal/time :

[Anger]

Ferry for me.... The less time in france the better

And a snotty breakfast Mmmmmmmmmm

OK, where do I start.

I have just heard from Jackie and we have a couple less rooms that we first thought. Sorry chaps but there is nothing I or Jackie can do about that, we had the hotel block booked for our usual weekend and GmbH changed their dates, which wrecked our ideas.

However, with some juggling and some buddying up, we can fit more people in there than the rooms count shows.

As the list was compiled, I have apportioned the rooms, it is the fairest way. If anyone drops out for any reason, the list will budge up 1 place from the person who drops out, again this is the fairest way of doing it.

Comfort Doubles / Twins @ 88 euro's per night

One of these can be made into a triple room, so I will do the decent thing and offer that to someone who wants to join Jay & Myself.

1: Steve Green & Jay - Comfort Twin (TRIPLE ROOM IF SOMEONE WANTS TO JOIN US) - FERRY BOOKED - 88 euro's per night
2: Martyn Chapman Smith & Richard Ninnis - Comfort Twin - 88 euro's per night
3: Steve & Claire Gates - Comfort Double - 88 euro's per night
4: Clive Phillips & Heather Phillips - Comfort Double - 88 euro's per night


Standard double/twin @ 78 euro's per night

4 of these rooms can be made into triples.

5: Tim Critchlow and Sim Bonnett - Twin - 78 euro's per night
6: Ian Pain & Pete Stockley - Twin - 78 euro's per night
7: James Nash & Adrian - Twin - 78 euro's per night
8: Joel & Jess Theobald - double - 78 euro's per night
9: Nige + 1 - Twin - 78 euro's per night - FERRY BOOKED
10: Daz & Lucia - Double - 78 euro's per night

Single / Twin @ 52 euro's per night

All three of these single rooms can be made into cheap twins.

11: Scott & Shane - - Twin - 52 euro's per night - FERRY NOT BOOKED MIGHT GET THE TUNNEL (£89)
12: Greg + 1 - - Twin - 52 euro's per night
13: Adam Greensmith && Tom Gray - - Twin - 52 euro's per night

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is the cut off point for the rooms available in standard format, I'm really sorry chaps. But as stated there is plenty of scope to share in a room or use 2 twin rooms at the B&B down the road ( a couple of minutes away by car.) Can you please indicate which route you would prefer to take, either buddying up, or offsite? We have a potential 8 beds we can get made up to share rooms at Jackies, then the 2 twins at the B&B, so that potentially caters for everyone with maybe 1 person missing out.


14. Ian Mitchell - Single


RESERVES:
R1: Jason Heath & someone else - standard/comfort double/twin
R2: Rob (RobEvo5) and another Trevor - Any room with 2 beds or a bed and a sofa - TUNNEL
R3. Simon (Robs Brother) and another probably Steve.P - Any room with 2 beds, or 2 single rooms - TUNNEL
R3. Robs/Simons mates Matt and Russ - Any room with 2 beds or a bed and a sofa -TUNNEL
R4. Rob/Simons mates, Griff and Rich - Any room with 2 beds, Or 2 single rooms -TUNNEL
R5. Rob/Simons mates - Steve and another - Any room with 2 beds or even 2 singles if needs be.

Anyone who is happy to share their rooms (obviously not couples) please can you post up, so that we can start getting people sorted in rooms.

Breaking news, James and Adrian are now sharing a room, so that has created the space so that everyone on this list can be at either Jackies or the B&B

[RobEvo5]

Appreciate your efforts, and as it stands at the moment looks like a logistical nightmare if I'm honest, and I feel like we are invading causing others to potentially loose out or at the very least compromise on ideal room space.

So this is where I'm currently at - We don't want to be unsociable but there is enough in our group to make a group if that makes sense. Having never been, I assume there are other hotels within a few mile radius that my little group might be able to get into ?. So will do some research ASAP, but any pointers or suggestions of hotels you passed nearby that looked good let us know - Happy to pay more or less per room pending on the calibre of hotel, so long as its value for money.

But I think the ideal scenario for all, would be if our group of 5 rooms which might even need to be 6, could get placed in a nearby hotel. Then tie up on the day/evening at your hotel or whereever the masses decide to eat/drink.

Rob, no problem at all.

The 2 rooms at the B&B are booked provisionally, so there's 2 straight off the bat. If you are going, I would get onto this fairly quickly if I were you, as it's a bank holiday over there that weekend, so thing will get booked up. Check out the Ben Lovejoy website or even the official Nurburgring website for local accommodation too.

I will get in touch with Jackie again and let her know what's happening and ask where she would recommend. Will you take the 2 B&B rooms? I won't cancel them yet, but would ask if you could let me know ASAP so we can get them cancelled if you don't want them.

And remember that we can always make some room at Jackies if you are struggling to get anywhere

[RobEvo5]

I can't see the 2 B&B rooms being much good tbh. We would need to be in the same place, and although I haven't spoke to my party yet. I would say with reasonable certaintly if your speaking with Jackie to let those rooms go.

Will get surfing tonight and see what we can find...... But could struggle by the sounds of it. Looks like we might have to go a little further out, so if Jackie can recommend any picturesque towns with a bit of life and a few bars that we might get in, would be great. If not will try the power of google

[Kerstin]

Steve, if you really - and I mean really - don't need these two rooms in the B&B I would like one of them. I've already e-mailed Jackie that I will take what is left when you guys are sorted as I can only stay for one night anyway, from the 26th to the 27th. If nothing's left I will simply do what I did last year: turning up in the morning and going back home at night.

Ok mate, fair enough. The main hotel at the GP circuit is quite nice. Theres always Cochem as a place to base yourself, we always go there for a day anyway. It's about a 25 min drive, but a good twisty drive

I will go and have a look in a minute mate and see what I can find too

Kerstin, I thought you had already arranged a room with Jackie, I'm so sorry.

Of course there is a room with your name on it at the B&B, I will make sure of that

Here you go Rob. A couple of websites to check out. These have some accommodation on them

No need to be sorry, Steve. I didn't put my name on the list on purpose because I can only stay for one night and I didn't want to block a room for this one night that could be used by someone who stays for 5 days. Would have been unfair I thought. I wanted to wait till you guys are sorted. This was what I have told Jackie as well. After all, if the worse comes to the worst I do have the option to go back home.

Many thanks for thinking of me though and for sorting it out, Steve.

I couldn't have sorted a room out earlier anyway as I had to sort out work first as I actually have the dayshifts that weekend. So I had to find someone who loves going to work for me on a bank holiday weekend. And my boyfriend wanted to sort it out with his company, too. But he failed. So my brother is coming with me now.

Cochem is too far away...although good for an afternoon out I wouldn't want to be based there and in the evening it's probably heaving with German OAP's.

My preference would be walking distance from Adenau.

I agree, the wrong way too.

But if they can't all get in together in Adenau or at the Ring complex, it is a good last resort option.

No worries Steve, I'm onto to it for them and already have some rooms lined up in Adeneau as last resort (Hotel doesn't look the greatest inside : http://www.hotel-zum-wilden-schwein.de/index_d.php) but still enquiring elsewhere.

I will prob bunk up with them, if we can find enough rooms, as myself and Shane go back 20+ years with Rob and his Bro's so only seems fair I help them out and also sticks Shane with people he know's too.

Will keep you posted and will confirm if/when my room becomes avaialble.

Good stuff Scott. Those rooms look very traditional. Maybe we could do the Saturday meal there?

If you are staying with them I could do with knowing ASAP please mate, just so I can get Granby sorted, then all the rooms are squared away

[Jason73]

What's happening then chaps. Have I got to find my own accommodation now?

Hi Jason

You haven't put your name on this list?

It's not too late to do so, so if you are coming you need to add your name now really mate. The way things are panning out there will be a room, either at the Hotel or the B&B just down the road, so no real problems.

Posts were put up on the previous thread stating that the official one would be going up at Christmas, as is the case every year. This is because people add their names after seeing some pictures and then are never seen again. This way we get a true list at the time of confirming the hotel.

Please make sure you keep an eye on the thread from ere on, as we need the deposits by end of Feb and payment details will be posted soon. If deposit is not paid by end of Feb, rooms against that name will be cancelled.

Cheers matey

Steve

[thepieman]

He is on the list Steve, Reserves1 Jason Heath & someone else - standard/comfort double/twin

Comfort Doubles / Twins @ 88 euro's per night

One of these can be made into a triple room, so I will do the decent thing and offer that to someone who wants to join Jay & Myself.

1: Steve Green & Jay - Comfort Twin (TRIPLE ROOM IF SOMEONE WANTS TO JOIN US) - FERRY BOOKED - 88 euro's per night
2: Martyn Chapman Smith & Richard Ninnis - Comfort Twin - 88 euro's per night
3: Steve & Claire Gates - Comfort Double - 88 euro's per night
4: Clive Phillips & Heather Phillips - Comfort Double - 88 euro's per night


Standard double/twin @ 78 euro's per night

4 of these rooms can be made into triples.

5: Tim Critchlow and Sim Bonnett - Twin - 78 euro's per night
6: Ian Pain & Pete Stockley - Twin - 78 euro's per night
7: James Nash & Adrian - Twin - 78 euro's per night
8: Joel & Jess Theobald - double - 78 euro's per night
9: Nige + 1 - Twin - 78 euro's per night - FERRY BOOKED
10: Daz & Lucia - Double - 78 euro's per night

Single / Twin @ 52 euro's per night

All three of these single rooms can be made into cheap twins.

11: Scott & Shane - - Twin - 52 euro's per night - FERRY NOT BOOKED MIGHT GET THE TUNNEL (£89)
12: Greg + 1 - - Twin - 52 euro's per night
13: Adam Greensmith && Tom Gray - - Twin - 52 euro's per night

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is the cut off point for the rooms available in standard format, I'm really sorry chaps. But as stated there is plenty of scope to share in a room or use 2 twin rooms at the B&B down the road ( a couple of minutes away by car.) Can you please indicate which route you would prefer to take, either buddying up, or offsite? We have a potential 8 beds we can get made up to share rooms at Jackies, then the 2 twins at the B&B, so that potentially caters for everyone with maybe 1 person missing out.


14. Ian Mitchell - Single


RESERVES:
R1: Jason Heath & someone else - standard/comfort double/twin
R2: Rob (RobEvo5) and another Trevor - Any room with 2 beds or a bed and a sofa - TUNNEL

Following Scotts earlier post, if he manages to get a batch of rooms for Rob and the crew, he will go and stay with them. If this happens as we expect, Granby will move up to the hotel list, leaving Kerstin & Jason with the 2 rooms at the B&B.

Please bear with us folks, we will get there

[Scott.T]

Had a bit of a blast round the hotels today and the majority are booked !!!!!
Why don't UK businesses reply as quick as the German's, as fast as I was emailing I was getting answer's.........it all got very confusing.

Anyway, after unravelling all of the replies, I have managed to find 4 Hotels with enough accomodation to fit Rob's 10, plus Shane and I.

Therefore, you can take me of the Worzel's Palace thread, to free it up for someone else.

I'll let you know where we staying and what the other availability is when we have decided and booked ourselves in one of them .

They are so good to deal with aren't they. If only they could be like that over here. Good old German efficiency

I will take you from the thread then mate. Obviously any problems let me know, we could still do some shuffling about I'm sure

Thanks for getting it done so quickly too, it really helps a lot, much appreciated

It will be good to have someone that knows about scoobs and EVOs along with us.
I hope he brings his spanners could come in handy.


Fingers crossed though perhaps this year there wont be any casualties.

[Scooby_Greg]

Thanks Ian - I am pleased he can come along. The only downside of the trip is I now have to be back Monday evening. I am very excited though! ..only 129 sleeps to go....
