Well on Sunday there's the Rarri festival at Donington, or Sunday and Monday there's Gt's and Tuscans at Silverstone, or you could always mow the grass, and wash the cars

Mowing grass is not on the cards neither is washing the car - i assume you will be at silverstone raceboy?

Not sure yet, Donington is looking favourite at the moment, I've not been that impressed with Gt's so far this season, and the Rarri thing looks quite interesting

Patrick,

What your car deserves is to be taken to the Ring for a treat this coming weekend. After all, that's where it will feel most at home. And even if you want to take it easy, the place is very special just to watch other cars doing their stuff.

There will be a good representation of PH'ers this weekend - Daz in his 996TT; Domster in his 968CS; me in my 968CS; and others - I think about 10 others?

I suggest an outward journey on Sat - it's only a 3.5 hour drive from Calais, and the directions are simple; full day driving on Sun (8.00am - 7.30 pm track time); leisurely return home Mon. And the best thing - you can get a Eurotunnel return weekend crossing for £59 at the moment, so long as you're outward bound by Sat night.

If you're tempted, send me an e-mail

Following on from SFV's post, I'm there in a group of 13 people, a few, not all of them are PHers, any Brits/PHers there on there own are more than welcome to join us on the piss every night. Domster isn't driving this time as he is in between sensible cars at the moment, swapping from a V8 3 series beemer back to the Red Baron 964RS.

A german PHer may be in town on friday in a decatted ferrari and I have been told one or two other PHers may be in attendance on sunday.

Anyone in Nurburg over the weekend, lookout for the silver english 996tt with the subtle two feet pistonhead sticker on the front bonnet.

cheers

DAZ

Take it for a nice long run through Francem, Belgium and Germany (4hrs), stay in a nice German place, then have a play on the famous Nurburgring with Domster and friends!

I say that as I have booked a room there for Sat, Sun, Mon that I can't use and can't cancel!
