Hi there as mentioned earlier in the posts i am now tagging along with scott. I will try to make the meet on the 23rd just to say hello again. I have a guide/track rules booklet from last year so will bring it with me to the meet. Might be helpful?
Hopefully see you soon

Right then lads, got the stickers back.

I have got 2 copies of each name done just in case.

There was however 3 copies of Scotts one, so I whacked it on a window at work and tok a quick snap.

It's a bit of hassle but I'd recommend ADAC cover. It's the German equivilent to the The AA only much much larger. I have their European policy which covers me anywhere in Europe for €79 with better benefits that AA European cover. ADAC is also the only company that will recover you from the track if anything happens otherwise it's a €200 recovery fee even if you breakdown/run out of fuel.

As for breaking down in the UK; they speak English and ADAC sub-contract the work to The AA.

Martyn

Will this give us enough time to get to East Grinstaed to pick up Greig?

[Mark83]

BP petrol station in Dover is a good place to meet. If you all fill your petrol tanks up this saves multiple stops the other side and petrol is cheaper in the UK

Good point Mark.

Mine is mapped for V Power though, so need to find a Shell in Dover.

One quick question, with regards V Power, when we were in france just before Christmas, it was 98ron as opposed to 99ron here. Is that the same in Germany?

Also, I take it there is a shell garage or two around and about the ring?

Cheers!

Good plan mark. Only problem is Bp petrol isn't up to it ron wise. Is there a Tesco or Shell that could double up as a meeting point? Sticker's look really good [apart from the bloody PIG]

Beat ya!

Your sticker is just a pig with your name being belched from his snout!

Not sure where the nearest Shell petrol station is to Dover, maybe a Tescos with 99 is nearer?

No Shell garages near the Ring, well less than 20 miles away.

2 petrol stations nearby. 98 is available at the ED petrol station which is the closest and 100 at the Aral petrol station in Adenau. I run mine mainly on 98 as it is €1.20 compared to the €1.30 the 100.

I filled up with V-Power in Belgium once... it was 95

I have never filled up with V-Power in Germany however I believe it's 100.

Thanks for the info Mark. Once again, much appreciated.

Are you going to be there by the way?

Ahhhhhhhh and another thing, sorry to be a pain in the "Arris". Martyn has tried booking the Argentinian Steakhouse for the Steaks but has yet to get a reply after 3 e-mails to them. Anything you could advise on? Someone to contact etc?

Cheers matey

I'm at the Nurburgring 24hr race from Wednesday 20th - Monday 25th May. Dependant on work I may just stay out in Germany and see you lot on the Friday otherwise I'll get a lift over Friday night with my mate. It's handy having a car in Germany

I'll get a mate in Germany to book a table at the PK for you. Please PM with numbers, date and time.

The nearest I have found is a Scheilden which is about 35 miles away tend to use it on the journey down otherwise I put in the best ron rated I can find

[majorscooby]

paid my european breakdown cover today but still no word on my turbo report

mmmmmmm still gotta sort track insurance!

[Mark83]

It's not a trackday when open to the public, it become a public road. A trackday policy will unlikely have the 3rd party liability required by German law. Most people take their chances and drive without insurance but be aware of the financial consequences if you do.

I, like 90% of everyone, just use the 98ron from ED petrol station next to the Dottinger Hohe straight. I occasionally fill up with 100ron from Aral in Adenau when heading to the track in the morning or joining the track at the Breidscheid entrance.

I will be taking a chance with the insurance, if i stack it, then i will cut my loses and run

I want to get to T Wells tomorrow if I can and pick up some Millers. Just to be sure.

I am going to go for the insurance that Rich found (morris's) £250.00 for the weekend will give me good peace of mind.

Bob won't of mapped your car that close to the edge for 99RON. 98 will be fine, I can always run the lappy for a lap to check yout timing advance.

Beside SRR made a comment to me that Bob always maps mega save on timing anyway...

For my trip this weekend I have gone with Richard Egar for the track which covers the car and then a policy with http://www.trackcover.com that will cover the personel liability side.

Just a thought, Worzel and Crowman will be traveling via:

A22/M25/M26 then onto the M20 you could meet @ Maidstone Services in between Jnc 7 & 8.

Then you could meet up with us Maccy Ds. Ashford.

Just off of junction 10 there is a Tesco's petrol station.

I also need to finish the decking in time for their arrival
And also sort a few bits on my motor i.e cold air feed and some handling goodies I have coming

Handling goodies! Mmmmmmmmm do tell!

Dont forget Spunky GEARBOX rebuild.


Its only supposed to be a little sociable trip.

[Scott.T]

Just sorted me breakdown cover.
went with http://www.morethan.co.uk £88 or £7 a month for european cover.
they may not recover from the ring,but will at least get me home and at £7 per month won't even notice it.
AA/RAC wanted about another £40-£50 for the same cover.

My UK renewal was £40 and just to cover for europe for 3 days (most do single trip policy),was around £40, so hasn't cost me much more for 12 months.

Hi,new to this site and been reading the thread.As i'am mainly in France I have some info that may help.Don't speed on French Motorways.In the last year the have started a big crackdown and fines are very heavy,they will even confiscate your car if your well over the limit.If you have a radar detector in your car leave it at home.In France they will confiscate the unit and also give you a large on the spot fine.If you have a E11 take it with you,if the worst happens and you end up in A&E you must present this card which will cover about 75% of costs.If its a private A&E you will be axpected to pay all charges and then claim back when you return to the UK.Good news is treatment in French hospitals is Excellent as I know only to well.Hope some of this helps,have a good trip!
Bon route,Terry
