I'll have a spare hi vis vest or 2 with me, so you can borrow one of mine if someone needs one.

again, bulbs, beam benders(maybe) money, passport, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, first aid kt and GB sticker/number plates are all either essential or desirable

UPDATE 16th August 2006 1pm

Hello everyone,

I have sent you all a PM with a basic(VERY) itinery for the coming weekend.

It includes some directions, how to get to the Ring first off and then directions from Centre Parcs to the Ring.

Everyones mobile telephone numbers are included aswell, i hope that everyone is happy with this.

If you can please print this out and take it with you,

i will be printing some copies to give out when we meet in case people haven't been able to.

I hope this is a help.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday morning!!!!!

Just looking at the Nurburgring webcam,

Mannyo/anyone am sure this is **** in his 520i at the BMW driver training this week.

what do you think?

right colour/wheels etc

Yep that is ****

Jeff - I'll borrow one of those vests if poss please. Lacking that at the moment, but have everything else sorted and ready to roll.

Loz , your head might be ok but your body will be sore after a car/armco interface , lets hope there are no incidents

Yeah, but a smashed up arm/leg wont kill me, a smashed up head might!! :rolleyes

I need to get a mate to look for us on the webcam!!:

Air filter cleaned out tonight

Oil checked - nicely above the medium point on the dipstick

Washer bottle topped up to max

Tyres to be pressured checked when air filter goes back in. Will not do the slicks until at Centre Parcs

Not much else I can do with the car apart from clean out the inside a bit and make sure I'm not taking anything I don't need to.

Found all my car documents fine, and passport is in date! ROCK ON! :cool:

Setting off at 7pm tomorrow and I havent even packed...not even slightly....and now I'm off to the pub quiz!! and I need to make a CD....oh it's all too much for me!!! I've had a headache for two days and thats not helping.....

*deep breaths*

7pm tomorrow? :confused: Your ferry isn't until 1:00pm the next day, isn't it?

I'm setting off at about 2am from Devon on the Friday morning. Roads should be lovely and clear travelling at that time.

Air filter is back in. Trouble is now I need to pack some clothes and I've already had enough Fosters to say I'm not driving my car again tonight.... Wonder what I'll end up taking to Germany?

sorry, I found this pretty funny!!

Lozkins says:

you'll be ok on the clothes front as the germans have cr@p taste in clothes so you shouldn't stand out have you been growing a mullet especially for the trip as they will love you if you have:rofl: only joking mate , i think anyway

I've downloaded a David Hasselhoff album to get to grips with their tastes in music!

7pm tomorrow? :confused: Your ferry isn't until 1:00pm the next day' date=' isn't it?

[/quote']

no it's not, but it's gonna take long enough jst to get to the end of the country! We didn't fancy all that way in one day

Still haven't packed....or finished my MP3 CD....less than 19 hours and 25 mins to go.....7 of which will be spent sleeping, another 7 of which will be spent working, another 40 mins will be spent travelling to and from work and about half an hour of that will be spent eating...so...erm...just how long do I have to get ready exactly?? :confused:

i make that 15 hours to go then now , please correct me if i'm wrong

Well I made it about 4?? :confused:

19 and 25 mins..... minus 7 sleeping, minus 7 working, minus about an hour n ten mins travelling & eating....thats 19h 25 min - 15h 10min.....

4 hours and 15 mins?

even less now...nearly midnight so 19 hours exactly then....

minus 15 hours n ten mins!

[disney worls florida ad] But I'm TOO EXCITED! [/ad]

OK, its getting silly now.... I really just wanna get in my car now and drive straight there!

We all agreed we'll meet in the line up for the ferry around 7am then? (those going on that ferry)

Not long to go now.

ooops, bit of wee just came out

Not long to go now.

ooops' date=' bit of wee just came out [/quote']

I've not reached "excited young puppy" level yet. Once home from work all I need do is stick in the 4 wheels and some tools and my clothes, etc, then get an early night. Mustn't forget the Red Thunder as well. Keep me buzzing the whole way. :eek: :eek:

Just a few more hours to go. Whilst you are all driving there, I will be at work until 6pm Friday. Then up at 4am Saturday for the airport.

How long does the Ring stay open for? Just wondering if there is potential for an exploratory lap or two in the evening on Friday, especially as it might be quite quiet compared to during the days on Saturday and Sunday?

Jason, you might manage it.

18.08, Freitag 17:15 - 19:30 Uhr

7.30 eh? hmmmm. I think Alex reckoned it would be a 5pm arrival at Center Parcs so I might unload and go straight for a couple of laps with the 17s on and save the track wheels for the rest of the weekend.

Would be nice to get some laps in when its quiet so I can work out the circuit a little bit without too much hassle from uber fast machinery.
