8.23?

Impressive, you know the track quite well then? I hit 10 minutes last year on my first visit in the punto, hoping to get somewhere near the nine's this year with the 205, it's a car that can actually handle

We should sort out a PistonHeads meal on one on the evenings, to talk shit, drink beer and eat steak

[oola]

Now we're talking, beer and steak is the staple diet for the week in Nurburg. Last year after 3 nights eating steak in the PistenKlause, I didnt shoite for a week after we got home and when I did, a whole cow had to be sugically removed from my hind quarters.

There are about 70 people going over with Circuit days so I think the whole weekend will be a bit of a Brit invasion.

The saying, "Drive fast, eat steak, drink beer, and talk shit" sums up a Nurburgring weekend pretty well.

[oola]

Davyboy - Thats spot on, I like it!

Ive done well over a 1000 laps round there now, so know roughly where it is going from one corner to the next

We could book a table at the lindenhoff....not sure on the spelling, but its in nurburg! Great place, fine steaks and amazing tomato soup!! Oh and cheap beer!!!!!

You are more than welcome to passenger laps, its a good way to learn the track, and I can talk you through the necessary turn-in-points as we go round!

Beers are always good as well, shame no videoing is allowed anymore.

[gutmann pug]

see you there.

atomicrex,

I will hold you to that, lets keep in contact, we can meet up there for beers. It would really help me to have an expert sit in.

[Flyin Banana]

Hi Guys

I'll be there with 70 other cars doing the Nurburgring 700. Its a Canon Ball run type event with 2 days at the ring. It would be great to meet up.

Shall we arrange something and get it booked?

[nickbell3]

So who is travelling at what time? rail or boat? We have a crew consisting of CSL, E36 M3 GT, NSX, 996 4S, E46 M3, E46 330d, possibly new RS4 and a 360. We are getting the train at about mid day on the friday.

[anonymous-user]

We're getting the 8am ferry crossing from Dover on Friday morning, should arrive in Dunkirk 11am French Time, hopefully getting to Nurburg about 2pm-3pm depending on traffic? All my other mates pussied out on the July trip, and are waiting for my second trip in September, so it's just me and my crazy pal Matty in the Pug.

I'm quite happy to wait for you guys and convoy - what time do you arrive in France?
