Yeah............ will be booking the hotel and Euro train at the weekend

I fancy taking the S2000, but don't really want to drive all that way with the soft top on the motorway so I can stick the hard top on, but then once we are there I don't want to keep it on so need someway of storing it.

If the weather is not looking too clever then I think I'll just take the Oil burner and get there in a tank of the black stuff!

Yes but if you buy 4 and we put together and i get 4, thats only £62.50 each :winky: just means we could not be on the track at the same time :D

Sure it wasn't a lap including the GP circuit? They sometimes do that: you get to ride the Schleife AND the GP circuit in one lap. On other occasions, the GP circuit is separately available for enthousiasts. Never driven that GP circuit myself though.

Anyway, see you guys there then. I'll be there with two friends and the Lex. Looking forward to meeting you guys in person!
