goonersteve 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 It was feckin frrrreeezing!! Really couldn't have faced another night camping unless we were guarunteed to get out on the 'ring and that wasn't looking likely. Has anyone heard how the others got on (the ones who stayed)? Was the track open yesterday / today? Link to post Share on other sites

Dub-Donna 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 was bad enough that you guys had frosting on the tent last year let alone snow this year!!!!Roll on the summer trip ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 the track looked open yestaredayit was, and in the afternoon it was even dry. Sorry to say it but you missed out. The drive back was just as bad though with repeated snow showers and even a couple of what I would call blizzards. Glad to hear you all got back safe. We weren't so lucky... Martin and Sal are stuck at the start of the M4 as Mart's serpentine belt / tensioner has seized so it's overheating. And CowpatMatt and his brother went there own way, because we where all too slow, and on a detour through Holland got caught doing 130Mph. Car got impounded and they are still there waiting to go to court tomorrow afternoon. Looking at a 1000E fine at least!!! Link to post Share on other sites

hvr6 88 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Poor Sal and Martin at least it was in this country but annoying on the home straight....Shame the campers couldn't have stayed longer but it was so cold and I don't blame them!! Sunday afternoon was brilliant! Definately want to go again but in warmer conditions, great to meet some new people and catch up with old faces, good fun with radios too! :-d Matt didn't sound too happy when he called to let us know about his run in with the undercover motor bike! They were told if they'd got caught in Belgium the car would have been crushed! With a 1500E release fee and fine on top for speeding he can easily have bought another VR!

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah was not really what I was expecting but was top fun all the same - worth going all that way for the Friday night Roll on next year and some better weather !!Really sorry to hear about Matt and Martin - I hope you managed to get the car fixed :-( Link to post Share on other sites
ingham 5 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Igham> did you stay in the ringhaus?Sh!t that snow looks awful....yes i got a room at the ring haus was 210e but worth itthe weather was awful and then some. the first night i camped it was so bad i went and begged the ring haus for a room at 8am Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Anyway I would like to say a big big thank you to both Jim and Nigel for there sterling work in getting everyone across Europe together - was an almost impossible job and was done brilliantly the banter on the radios was pure class I had a really good laugh with everyone on the trip and the spirit in the campsite despite about 2 foot of snow was upbeat and really good fun - it was a real shame about the weather but there is nothing we could do about it. I am glad the hotel group managed to get some track time and it looks like you all really enjoyed yourselves. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm very relieved that nothing as drastic happened this time, as it did on the last trip.the weather has looked appalling, in a way, im glad I missed out on this, as I was camping, so roll on the July trip.off get my car booked in to get arches rolled now. laters .Pete Link to post Share on other sites
