The Nurburgring 28 May - 2 June 2009

[Mess]

Introducing,
-: The Nurburgring 2009 :-

After the Success Of the 2008 trip we would like to announce The Nurburgring 2009.

The dates we have confirmed are from 28 May to 2 June. This means we can all have a nice long weekend driving our favourite track

We have access to a very nice house in the town of Rodder so night times wont be about breaking the bank and spending a fortune, or sitting in a room somewhere watching German tv We can have a BBQ and a few drinks here every night or cook in the kitchen so a good time to be had for all.

If you want some help finding a place to stay just ask and we will all be happy to help. Theres plenty of places and the are all really nice.


If your interested please put your name, we all had a great time in 2008 and met quiet a few other mini owners from the continent, and the more Minis there the better, and will make the atmosphere just that little bit more special

Sounds like a plan Ant!

Nice picture of a photobucket logo?

[Ant FR]

ACTUALLY, I REMOVED IT,

only reason i just saw that that very car has just been sold and did'nt want someone seeing a pic of their new pride and joy being ragged round the ring.....

[wheyaye2]

Probably won't make this one guys. I'll be back over later in the summer, hopefully I'll make it line up with the Lakes Run when a date is announced.

Hi Guys ***FERRY INFO***

Ok, I've just called P&O Ferries for a quote to get us from Hull to Rotterdam.

The quote was based on the info i have already based on people showing a solid interest on this and the confirmed thread.

I was quoted with 6 Cars, 8 People, sharing 2 4 Berth cabins on the crossings, a total price of £944.
Thats an amazing £118 Each RETURN Hull to Rotterdam!!

We will be staying in Blaue ecke for a night, porbably going to do a Saturday morning to sunday night burn over as holiday time at work is tight. should be fun. so as i'm not driving we will be doing loads of pics
