Good to see the use of head protection.

I hope your rooms are not too 'Meaty' this morning.
We're just of to Goodwood.

It was pure chance, just thought I'd check the weather out there and there he was.

Make sure you leave room for beer from Belgium.

Some are home - others nearly so... Feel for Rob - calliper bolt snapped just after Autobahn so CJ and Dave did a temp fix and he's been running home with limited brakes!! Calliper had actually come off the bottom and was rubbing his alloy on the inside!

Myself, Steve_PPP, and Granby were also lucky not to be wiped out by a de-laminated Lorry tyre just outside Calais !

Was a bit of a heart in mouth moment

Rob is nearly home now so thats good news

Rdlangy1 · #**519** 07-06-2016, 08:59 PM

Yeah 10 miles out - good job by si and jo in the support car

Ginola · #**520** 07-06-2016, 09:01 PM

Just got in, wanted to say massive thanks to Big E for organising and also big thanks To Si for hanging back and looking after Robs crippled scoob, I hope you're both home now.

What a great trip! despite the weather forecasts there where plenty of dry laps for all with some moist and wet ones thrown in for good measure.

Also wanted to say another thank you to Ian (Big E) for taking Wanda round the ring (Nordschleife!) as she still refuses to go with me

Thankfully u mean Rob's scoob

Although he was called Ryan 2 at some point after a few beers pmsl

nikkinokkinoo · #**522** 07-06-2016, 09:11 PM

Great event - thanks for organising Ian.

Few snaps.

May even turn up in a Subaru and on time next year...........

Rdlangy1 · #**523** 07-06-2016, 09:12 PM

Yeah as above - massive massive massive thanks to Ian for organising and also to Steve and everyone who had input into the administration and organisation of the weekend!

ops! yea I get confused easily

corrected for posterity

The Handbrake · #**525** 07-06-2016, 10:17 PM

Its my drunken fault and the name stuck in your head I think.

Steve_PPP · #**526** 07-06-2016, 10:58 PM

What a cracking trip. Big E did us proud again on the organising front, despite Pinnochio's best efforts to screw things up

Only got 2 fast laps in due to car issues but the most important thing is everyone made it back

Scoob ran perfectly today so either the header tank cap swap sorted it (thanks Dave

) or the head gasket issues just don't show themselves yet under normal driving conditions.

Scott/Louise - hope you get back safely, that's a proper long old drive!

The Handbrake · #**527** 08-06-2016, 12:59 AM

Pleasure to meet u and Louise finally

Scooby Si · #**530** 08-06-2016, 08:57 AM

Just want to add my thanks to Ian for another great trip... Top effort mate!

I had a great time again (even in the diesel!) and Tom definitely enjoyed his first trip and I'm sure will be back! (Hopefully with some sun cream next time!

)

Should hopefully have some photos and videos to post shortly!

Thanks again to everyone who came and made it such a good trip!

NL03Scooby · #**531** 08-06-2016, 10:31 AM

Despite the slightly squiffy ending it has been a top trip with great people. Huge thanks as everyone has said to Ian for all his hard work and organising. Also thanks to Steve_PPP for organising group trips for those of us who fancied a bit of sight seeing and winding roads.

Managed 3 laps with all braking equipment intact fortunately, glad I never tempted fate with a 4th!

Thanks again for everyone's support when the car threw a wobbly, Scottish cars, need I say more......

Hopefully all will be sorted soon, time to get under the car.

Seanedg · #**534** 08-06-2016, 10:49 AM

I'd like to say thankyou to Big E for sorting the trip and Steve PPP for organising the wonderful site seeing trips.
I miss Germany already, lovely weather, food and the roads are out of this world.
All the cars looked fantastic, ryan's was definitely the cleanest.

Thanks guys, you all made it a weekend I won't ever forget...

Hope to see everyone again soon.

Really glad everyone made in home, Rob hope the brake gets sorted quickly, I think Simon and Jo to remain with you was outstanding and shows what a great club this is.
It was great to see some familiar faces and to meet up with some new ones.

We have had another great trip, Ron and Doug this year's 'naughty boys' did make us laugh, Ron I want your Supra 😉

Dave 'Ginola ' the lap with you mate was awesome and thank you

Now back to reality ,god our roads are so @iss poor compared to Germany ,hope the dates suit for next year and we will definitely be on the list

Finally we both want to say thank you to Ian 'Big E' for organising and looking after us both,you know what you did and thank you.

Now off to wash the scoob "it's so dirty"

That's because I chickened out of more laps and spent all the time cleaning it Pmsl

Rdlangy1 · #**537** 08-06-2016, 10:55 AM

Mines filthy too! Just about to get the clay bars out and do it properly so I can actually "stick" the stickers onto it!! (3rd time lucky!)

Also ordered my new side repeaters so they won't get falling out!

Says something about my ring speed when they stay in for the laps but fall out as I drive back to the hotel Pmsl

But you did it! you should be so happy, you haven't done hardly any track time in the UK and went on the nurburgring...... Well-done mate.
Your car did look clean on the track, from the pics I see...lol

Love the little "whoop" as you go round carousel. Similar to my first lap from a couple of years ago, lifting off over the brow of hills as you have no idea what's over the top. Nice and clean though.

Just shows what a load of rubbish weather forecasts can be, and how changeable it is in that part of Germany. Weather was perfect really, we all got enough sun to get sunburnt on several occasions and some awesome thunderstorms to watch in the late afternoon too. The hail in Koblenz was the only bit that was really uncalled for

Not my doing, all Big E

Did a drive out with Granby, Rob & brother, Ryan & Laura on Sunday afternoon but the Koblenz trip was E's doing. Great to do something new for the regulars in the group too

) but I did enjoy that little run out and maybe the tunnels just a bit......................................

OK LOADS !!!!! TUNNELS !!!!!!

OK, still, it was fantastic and we all had a wonderful time.

And the weather did hold out just at right times.
I didn't fancy drifting in the wet with my car (Datsun)...

SpecB · #**548** 12-06-2016, 02:50 PM

Can't remember the room number but I think you'll find we have the comfort room on the corner booked as it's our honeymoon suite (33 we think!)

scotty · #**549** 12-06-2016, 04:23 PM

If going back to the same hotel room 32 and of course if we are going depending on dates

Littlelou has already sorted her Ring Taxi's

If its possible with our busy schedual of Track Time

Frenchie · #**550** 12-06-2016, 07:00 PM

My advice to everyone is get in quick as it looks like all the comfort rooms are getting snapped up! !!!!!
