[LewisTaylor]

Sleep on the ferry!? Don't know about you but I'll be wanting a full English

 

[LewisTaylor]

Also what's the plan for navigation? My TomTom isn't working

 

[DannyR]

I've got or passenger has a hi vis and will buy light deflectors in case needed but I'm not sticking them on as they fucked my lights.

Also need a GB sticker.

I have a double sleeping bag so will double that up to sleep on.

I'm following lol, I have no idea where we are going! I may look at route on my phone and screen shot it!

Cars now cleaned and fully packed. Having a bath then off to bed, but I doubt I'll sleep due to heat an excitement! Lol!

 

[Pacman.]

may see you all there guys. have a safe journey over.

 

[dmallett]

Lewis if you want walkie talkie get 4 triple A batteries

I've got euro satnav,

I'm excited!

 

[Dan519]

Just looked at Ben Lovejoys site and you've got a fantastic calender for your trip Best week/weekend this year so far IMO. Campsite should be fun enjoy the german rockers in diy sidecar-wagons bombing about the place ready for Rock-am-ring!!

Route-wise, satnav will try to take you on the E40 towards and past Brussels, but just take the E42 route. Much more of germany, less belgium, and you come in to Eifel down the most stunning mountain road I have ever driven

 

[DannyR]

I like your last few words so that's the route we HAVE to take.

Euro race too this weekend, any good?

 

[dmallett]

Does that route not go via spa though?

 

[LewisTaylor]

Lewis if you want walkie talkie get 4 triple A batteries

I've got euro satnav,

I'm excited!

I do but that ain't gonna happen between now and setting off lol! I'll borrow one of Danny's or Rhys' or get some batteries on the ferry

 

[dmallett]

We havent got batteries either lol.

Going to setup the go pro, then bed.

See you tomorrow all x

 

[DannyR]

My camera is set to record on ignition so I'll be filming random parts of our journey

[dmallett]

Best weekend ever! Gutted i didnt charge any camera batteries before we went

So heres a few pics, will have more from the go pro later. Also found some on an official website!





















I miss this trip already! Hopefully everyone else got better/more pics than me.

 

[andywa]

Nice pics. Did you get any more laps in on the Sunday? Which website did you get the pics from?

 

[dmallett]

I searched the website for you and Jim but couldnt see any http://www.nurburgring-photos.com/page2.htm

I did another Lap and so did my mate, Lewis did 1 more and Rhys did another 4 or something lol.

 

[andywa]

Good stuff mate. Just found the site and a picture. It's of Jim driving and me on the phone to the missis. It was an epic trip. We've already talke about next year and also maybe taking in Le Mans as well. Did you go to Spa?

 

[dmallett]

We hope to go back next year too! And no we didnt get to Spa, we just focused on getting back in one piece and on time as a few of the cars were getting a bit creaky.

I want to stop at Spa next time though,

 

[Dan519]

Every photographer has their own site, there's a least a dozen worth trawling through for pics

Good fire

 

[jamie7732]

Had an awesome time. I found at least 5 pictures of mine on the websites.

 

[andywa]

We stopped at Spa briefly but they wouldn't take cards to pay for the tickets which was a good thing really as we probably wouldn't have got to the ferry in time. The area was mental though. Loads of lovely old cars. And the noise on trace was amazing.
