Trip to The Ring?

[Viper]

was chatting to Paul a few weeks ago about a trip, does anyone fancy along weekend away to Nurburgring next year. Graham is the expert here having been loads of times, a few of us went a couple of years ago and had a great time.

Crossing on speedferries

was cheap something like £60 return with a early'ish crossing, a quick hour in France through Belgium and a stop for lunch then onto Germany, we made it there in the afternoon. B&B was ideal in a fantastic setting just minutes from the track about £30 per night. If you want a few laps around the track get revising

or maybe a slightly longer trip just cruising about some of the better roads in Europe, and stopping in different hotels along the way

It's about time a few of us joined Paul at Hockenheim and combine that with the 'ring

The key here is to get the 2008 calendar to find out what weekends it's open? I'll take a look. The track was covered in snow last week!

Well, you get coaches, so I guess so!

Check out the thread below - it's 83 pages so the link is to the last page, but scroll back and look at some of the images from the 'ring webcam - some interesting stuff going round there!

Would be great if you could come for the EuroCorvette-Meeting 2008!!!

Unfortunately, rumour is that it will not happen due to financial problems...???

I will keep you updated - would be the last weekend of June 2008.

Well Marcus...down to you to invite us to something else......LOL

Or note added : Last year it was going to be a 3 day event then it became a 2 day event.

Hockenheim was close to broke lasy year and the town with it, but if the circuit goes the town would appear to lose its best benafactor.

I think.................see you there Marcus.

I would love to do this.....perhaps my new towing vehicle could be used?

[Viper]

cool, did you go crew or single cab?

[viper paul]

And Nigel.....do you have gas?????????

Not converted to gas and as I have just changed contracts to one about 12 miles from home probably won't bother for a while.

Quad Cab p.s. thanks for the plate it arrived this morning.

>>>Well Marcus...down to you to invite us to something else......LOL<<<

ALL Viper owners are welcome to our events/meetings.

Have a look into our Event section and in case some Viper owners from GB want to attend one of our events/meetings, just send me an email for the details.

We have members from Austria, Switzerland and Germany now and should change our clubs name to "Viperclub Europe e.V." soon.

I take it the new motor is to drag the vette to race events next year, youll be after a trailor next then

the plate applied will look stunning WOW (cant wait for a passenger ride)
