jellybaby Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Good to see you here mike id also be up for this. been toying woth plannibg a trip to the ring for a while what sort of time you thinking?? Mid-late summer?Yep prob when the weather at its best once I get a rough number I start planing the route from the uk to the ring but make it a few days trip across euroupe maybe might throw in some top gear challenges as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Will be a quality idea bud!! The topgear best road in the world is in europe some where but dont remember where it was looked awesome though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellybaby Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 It is I have to google it up lol I might have to get few people on bored to help me orginize things as well as we need a main meet point before we head for the ferry the once in France drive for few hours to a hotel bed down and have a beer then let the adventure begin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Think you should look into campsites for a large margin to help keep costs lower. the fuel alone will be 700-1200 easy depending on state of tune of the cars that go. my ep85 has shit ratios for motorway so she will drink like a biach!

jellybaby Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yer was going to look at that as well what I might do is get a transit van as well and bring my tools just in case we have a break down etc also help carry tents etc but then again depends on how many we can get to come etc. yer fuel is going to be a killer but this is why IPutting it out nowSo people can work out saving etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malcolm GT Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 We followed tom tom all 3 times there and went on autobahns everytime. You just need to know the correct sign posts to look at Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellybaby Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yep that's what I fort but I was more thinking about making it more of a few days trip and explore Europe and find some nice roads etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimbo-ep91 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 yea im in for this, I was planning a trip next year to be fair anyways... Not sure about autobahns tho as im sure a few bottom ends and rods may be scattered across 4 lanes haha... But the road trip sounds epic... Plus there's some pretty nuts roads around the ring anyway because its in the mountains, and campsite in the centre of nurburg itself is 13 euros a night so that makes it more affordable. Need a hand organising anything give me a shout because im well up for this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jhandy Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 i would be up for it, price dependent, i went to hockhiemring a few years back, there are plenty of places to stay, fuel aint that expensive out there, and the roads are amazing, and if anyone is interested, you could also go on abit further and go to europa park, biggest theme park in europe, its fantastic, but obvs money lol, anyone have any idea when people are wanting to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It cost me n my mate in his ep3 about £250 in fuel which we shared, that was for us from norfolk just over 1000 mile trip which isnt too bad obviously if you plan on exploring europe you're guna do more miles but generally its not too bad!

Jhandy Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 i reckon it would be a good crack, and funny when you get maybe a £100.000 car try to do you on the straight and they cant lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimbo-ep91 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 yea that's cool, im so up for this... Well not only that not far from the ring you've got spa aswell so could look into that, fuel will be the main cost of the trip, think it should be more of a camping trip, then stay in a hotel in nurburg? Plus I did a 3 day trip last year, spent all 3 at the ring and I still didn't see everything, so may want to make it a bit longer maybe 5 or 7 days jus sp you can get out there and properly explore???

jellybaby Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Right so lets get a list who's up for this then so I can get the numbers and work it out I poss might alsoLook at my mate to come in a support truck/van with all my tools in and jacks etc just incase weHave a break down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
