cadguy77 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Right are we decided on meeting at the leisure centre in Dover town 6:30ish?Have we decided what route we're taking in europe, and where we will meet Paul(vwsyncro)? Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I reckon we wanna be meeting at 6am at the leisure centre - people will always be late and we need to be there 30 mins at least before we set sail and thats at 7am so I reckon a 6am meet - sharp! Not sure of the route yet, I dont know of a place to stop really - how about the 1st services inside Germany? Were only in Holland for a few milesAnyone got route planner handy?

Guest vwsyncro Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 it's better to stop in germany for fuel, it's cheaper, and the shell in germany has v-power 100 octane, not to be confused whit v-power in holland/belgium that has octane 95/97!!!let me know what route you'll be taking so i can meet up whit you guy's.

thegoth 5 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 To us English, anywhere has cheap petrol!As for petrol on route, there's petrol convienient to the ferry port in Bologne but last time I couldn't make it accept any of my cards so some Euros would be good. The cheapest is at Citie Europe, Calais, not too far off the A16, although it's only of a get you there grade ;-) They take English CREDIT cards only.I'm right in the mood, now I've got my camping head on after Ed38 and have been for a spin in what will be J5KEX.Just to wet your appetites: http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99995TG Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 there was an official letter from the GmbH to the tourist drivers ontouristenfahrer.de written by Manfred Strack(http://www.touristenfahrerforum.de/forum/showthread.php?t=8725). Translation by Johannes."Dear fans of the Nordschleife,tourist driving on the Nordschleife is unique in the world, which makesus proud. It makes the longest and most beautiful track of the worldavailable to as many people as possible. The TF exist from thebeginning, since almost 80 years, and they are a constant in theleisure time of many motorsport enthusiasts and visitors of the Eifelregion.First of all, driving on the Nordschleife during TF should be fun. Andit has to be as safe as possible. The Nordschleife is a public roadduring TF (even if that is discussed and sometimes denied), during whichclear rules must exist to guarantee as much fun and safety as possible.Our employed and voluntary marshals and the police are responsible forthe observation of these rules, and for making sure that the conditionson the track make it a positive experience for everyone. Please supportour employees in doing their duty, because it's in the interest of allof us.We know that most of you are responsible drivers who just like drivingon the Nordschleife. Also when it's a bit faster within the rules.Problems occur when individual people overrate their or their car'sabilities or have no respect for others. These drivers intentionallytake unnecessary risks and often violate rules. Because of our domesticauthority, in such cases certain regulations apply. Punishments for thewilful violation of our rules vary from hourly or daily bans to therevocation of the JK or a report to the police. The ones who aren'tfamiliar with our rules can refer to them on our homepage(http://www.nuerburgring.de/) and on the flyers that are displayed atthe entrance.The majority of you sticks to the rules. But those who don't payattention to them will have to face drastic punishments. Our marshalshave the necessary authority for that. During our permanent safetyconsiderations the compliance to the rules will be monitored andoffences will be punished (e.g. bans will be spoken out more and earlierthan before). For this purpose we have raised the number of voluntarymarshals to improve the observation of the traffic.Instead of working against each other and blaming the Nuerburgring GmbHover and over again, we should try to work together. The meeting at thebeginning of July in the "Altes Forsthaus" will not be the last one. Apart of the recommendations that we got there will be implemented duringthe next time.If there are further suggestions, please inform me (Manfred Strack fromthe GmbH). Every proposal will be checked and there will be a response.The Nuerburgring GmbH is not as arrogant as many might think.So, be fair and have fun on the nicest track of the world."

Seademon 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yeah but I think I'll find it easier to get out of bed knowing Im going to the ring than going to work! Just had my exhaust put straight, new tyres going on tomorrow and a wash/polish on Friday night & Im sorted.Hopefully we'll get to the ring in time to setup tents etc before the track opens at 5pm - I reckon we'll get there about 2ish, if we do it after the track closes it'll be getting dark I think & we'll have less drinking time :0) I've borroed a tiny wireless cam from work, gonna test it on the car tonight - only does black & white with no sound tho but its better than nothing, gonna stick it in the area under the number plate Link to post Share on other sites
