Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Booked!! Now how about that HOTEL!! CG Locks on the way for both of us too! :-d Awesome !! at this rate half the club are going to be coming to this 172 Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 This way to the 'Ring Well actually this is the route to the most likely hotel. But it's still a nice route to Nurburg ( 20km further on ) as it gets you to the mountains and forests earlier so is more picturesque and takes you past Spa :-d Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 ooohhh that looks like a nice route can't we slip in a little bit of derestricted autobahn for a small play on the way Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 ooohhh that looks like a nice route can't we slip in a little bit of derestricted autobahn for a small play on the way I've just had a google and found this site! http://www.autobahnatlas-online.de/index_e.htmlAnd it would seem that the A60 South of the Prum turn off (B51) is deristricted. It's about 25Km to the next junction and back ;-)As is the A1 South of the B421 at Daun. which is more out of the way unless stopping at hotel. The 'Ring being between Adenau and Kelberg.[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1191317020_2196_FT191036_autobahn.jpg][/lightbox]The more industrial route to the 'Ring A4 / A61 / A1 is littered with deristricted sections[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1191317426_2196_FT191036_autobahn2.jpg][/lightbox] Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 How many cars going are runnin a standard engine? Just out of interest?Cadguy is currently supercharged but has plans ;-). Craggsy will have 268 cams and a Shrick. Everybody else is running induction and exhaust mods at most. At the 'Ring it's not all about power. Skill and commitment play just a large a part. Last year I was keeping up in a standard Mk3 16valver. Link to post Share on other sites

jims13 6 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 nah , was a super smooth crossing , as you are in a boat based on a catermaraine (spelling) , so you end up gliding , rather than crashing through the waves. Link to post Share on other sites
