If anyone coming to the ring has a pair of portable speakers that plug into laptops/portable DVD players, that would be useful for playing the Ring training DVD that I'm bringing along. Cheers.

[janey]

Snow too bad today (well technically yesterday now ) to even get up in the mountains.....hoping it will clear for the morning.

Although on the bright side Raj, Bazza & I had a fun snowball fight earlier :D

[Lexus2D]

Weve got snow 2day Woo-Hoo B)

We Got Christmas @ Easter

Stav

[sparkystav]

Wahoo we finally made it onto the ring!

Started with a practice lap all in convoy then a few of us went out again a couple of time.

Met a couple of Euro members one with an IS250 and one with a Soarer.

Also the Grand Prix track was open to go on but none of us bothered. Though Maneesh got taken round by the member in the Soarer.

All in all a goods day and no mishaps.

I'm sure pictures will be posted when we return.

Stav

[spikes]

sounds like your all having a fun weekend :)

[Dave-Ellen]

Just got back............

Excellent trip.

Weather was not very nice at all on the way back.

Will post up pics as soon as I can

[Dave-Ellen]

Few pics below which give a flavour of the trip

Few words as well

trip over was trouble free apart from 1 hour to get round Brussels

Friday we all set out early (barrie was resting so was coming later)

Got there and was told track would open in 1/2 hour (was cold wet but snow free)

bought ticket has a coffee..........looked out of the window to see a blizzard.............1/2 hour and cars covered..........

decided to return to Cologne.......

got to petrol station skys cleared...............lets go back............ we did

track about to open.............

Met some Euro LOCers

blizzard again

decided to return to Cologne...barrie had joined us

Kami had gone shopping in Cologne and called to say it was deserted (shut)

trip back was rather fast (no snow away from nurburg)

arrived back at hotel had conflab looked at ring web cam and track was open so decided to go back (120 mile round trip)

went back and had a good wet lap

Sadly Raj had an off (he & Maneesh are fine) car is ok ish and they escaped paying any fines for hitting armco (raj's M3 is a beast BTW) Raj drove car home and will relate more details I'm sure

Friday barrie,janey,kami & I went to Cologne sightseeing while the others went to the ring

Snow made them turn back so they went Karting near Cologne

Sunday was bright sunshine and we all had good laps did one with all of us out with some good video footage.

Everyone made it round & off safely

The GP track was opne but didnt fancy it as i had several people playing drums in my head from saturday nights events

today we had thicjk snow falling and a pooh trip home..............

Thanks for everyone for coming along and making it a truly memorable trip................still smiling and Gordon nearly dying with laughter at a maneeshism on the Friday night will live with me for a long time !
