andylaurence 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 ok no more racing talkdamn why is easter so far away???I was thinking the same thing. I'm out of holiday though, so I can't go until January. If the BMW's ready, I may go then as well!Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites
andylaurence 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Was bloody freezing at night last April' date=' although the Hotel is more expensive it's worth it for the hot shower and the decent breakfast before a hard day at the "Ring"!! lolCan't wait to go again, Easter will be here before we know it!!!! Wooo Hooo!!! :-)[/quote']The most important thing about the hotel is the room. You can put all your stuff in there, so you don't have your luggage and valuables rattling around in the car. Safety first, and all that!Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites

SiGainey 1 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 speedferries.com are 20 or 29 quid for a ticket!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
hellsVR6 0 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Much cheapness!! I looked at their site the other day, sailing is about 0700 so may be doing a Dover type stopover the night before then unless we are going for a later sailing, i.e. 11am. Link to post Share on other sites
hellsVR6 0 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hmm ok have been reading up on this a bit.Most important things first. So Adenau is near Bitburg. So we know what we will all be drinking for the whole time! (Yay! Bitburger!)Is it too early to start thinking at all or am I just getting over-giddy? It's only six months off you know! lolIs it worth sailing to Belgium (i.e. Ostend or somewhere) instead of doing the Dover/Calais thing and then can whiz straight through Belgium?Tell me off if I'm jumping the gun etc...I've got the idea in my head of going now...heehee!

craggsy 91 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 We al had a glint in our eyes at E38 talking about it.....by all means start getting prepped ready. Ferry details will be posted soon as the timetable becomes available. But if you want to go to Belgium then thats fine Link to post Share on other sites
hellsVR6 0 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Just think it might be easier sailing there rather than France. Which let's face it, it smells funny there...haha.. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 But you are only in France for about 30 mins or so then its motorways thro France and Belgium and into Germany. But like I say go that way if its better for you, we might meet up depending on ferry times Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Be aware that the £20 tickets are none amendable. So if this happens again you'll be out of pocket! But as they less than 1/4 as much as the flexi ticket it's probably worth the risk.Look at the date, it's exactly a year before next Easter! Link to post Share on other sites
