FAO Nurburgring'ers - IMPORTANT!!!

[J o n]

right, can those that are going or with to go to the Ring on the 10 day Euro Fest with WC please take a look at the following:

http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/...ic.php?t=19237

We need people's input to get this rolling and ideas and suggestions as it's taken almost 6 months to just finalise a date to go on.

I've put up a link to a Nordschleife guide of how to get there, where to stay etc so can people please let me know there preferences, as tbh I'm going to be a selfish bastard and just book something for myself and the missus if no one else is bothering. I've never organised a trip like this before, local meets are one thing but I need everyone's help on this one if you wish to go... so come on, lets not miss out on this because we've been to idle to organise something in decent time. Remember, earlier we book cheaper it will work out!!!

Oh, can a moderator please make this a sticky thread for me please.

yeah that one did look good, secure parking and wireless access is the seller for me!

Lewis, we've not booked anything yet, we're just finalising details and a route, we are as far as getting the Euro Tunnel and then to Calais, once there we need to decide where people want to go first, as we have 10 days there and we don't want to just go straight to the ring, although I anticipate we will be there about 5 days at a guess?

[lewis_willy2]

ye wireless is a good un and only 400 metres away. plus owners speak english.

when youve got some ideas get the route etc up. im cool with going to the dam and having a detoure round europe. could prob find cheap enough places to stay while on route.

i'll be keepin an eye on this thread

I'm interested. In fact the reason I'm building the Clio is predominantly as a car for trips to the Ring. I am unlikely to be able to make it out for the whole week though but would try and come for a weekend at either end. I do have a couple of questions though:

i) it is possible (some would say likely, due to having two kids under 3 years old!) that my Clio may not be finished by then. If so, are there any objections if I came in a car made by another marque?

ii) have I missed something or are the dates proposed ones in which the Ring is pretty much closed on the Saturdays and open for less than a couple of hours in the evening during the week? The only full days in that period are the Sundays, and I presume we'll be travelling back on one of those?

i cant speak for ring times etc, as ive not personally looked into that as its not the reason im going, but i think everyone will understand that you are bringing kids and may have to bring another car.

no, I probably wouldn't bring the kids. It's just that now I don't get much time to work on the car so it will probably still be in bits in August. So I'd have to do the trip in something else other than a Clio!?

Bit of a weird choice of date I agree....would have thought the best way would be to do a weekend where it's open two full days...that would give everyone enough time on track to warrant the trip.
