My passanger for Nurburg has pulled out, so now I have the full petrol cost, a spare bed in a hotel room that I cannot afford to pay by myself, and a space in my car

This has been posted by a mate on the BMW forum http://80.177.110.202/forumdisplay.php?f=2 as the trip will be with them, if he gets a response the person from there will be traveling with him, so his current passenger will move over to my car.

I know you probably dont want to go if you are not bringing your car, but does anyone want to come if my mate cannot get another a passanger?

Friday 31st March - Tuesday 4th April

£45 for the crossing, hotel is about £80 - 90, and about 1/3 of the petrol.

what you think?

Huw

edit: and dont forget beer money :D :nod:

I'm 23, but I think most of the BMW drivers are around 30+ :)

most of them will be going home on sunday/monday, we are staying a day longer so we dont have to drive back in the dark :ghey: :wack:

I'm sure it will have absolutally no bearing on he trip at all :)

Its gonna be a pretty big convoy over there, most of us are catching the same train over :nod:

Hope the BMW lot keep their driving in check, I dont know any of them (just 2 mates that will be in another car) but i have seen a video of their last trip.

They seem to like all the lanes of the E40 :wack: - not just the usual 'BMW lane'

Yeah passenger will be no problem :thumbs: I was 2 up for every lap last trip :smash: :D

Sabine is :smitten: but very expensive, IIRC its 170 euros for 1 lap :eek:

I'm getting the 15 lap ticket for myself (maybe a bit more ;) ) and thats only 195 euros :)

Paul dont worry to much if the nutter that is sabine is booked up :no:

There are plenty of other ringmeisters there to scare the living crap out of you and they dont charge ;)

One of the boys with us got a ride in a supra :nod: just over a 7 min lap too !!

If you can blag a lift with a jap in a porche do it :nod: they are cowing nuts lol

So much fun and not enough time :(

I have to wait untill July to go again :(
