[mannyo]

Looking at the holiday planner in the office, if I can do this then it will be a fly in Saturday and back Sunday as I dont think I can get any time off work this weekend. Will keep you all posted.

If anyone finds anywhere with enough space, I'm not fussy - just a single bed and a TV and some tuck in the morning will suit me fine.

agreed.


Also is it definatly Bonn where we are going to stay?

Ich bin halbes Deutsch und mein ist schlect auch. We need a Carsten.

Would be nice just to book half a dozen rooms, then we can Skoda-convoy to the ring.

Hmmm, no translation for schlect on babelfish but I can guess

So if i decide on a Hotel which i feel will be up to my Fellow Briskodians obvious high standards shall i make a reservation for 5-7 rooms?

My standards are lower than most, but a decent B&B at what you think is quite good value is fine by me. (and I'm sure by others too)

If you need to financially reserve, I'll happily set you right.

[devonutopia]

Not all the above are necessarily definate... except me.

[ric04vrs]

i think i'll book the days off tomorrow then , i'm assuming the circuit will be open for that weekend considering the motorsport on the main GP circuit

Here's me interfering and I'm not even going.

I'd really advise against staying in Bonn, it's a fair way from the Ring and then you've got the stress of navigating through a major city.

As previously suggested, Cochem is really nice and has a plentiful supply of hotels/restaurants and is within 20 mins from the Ring along a really nice route. Also, as Cochem is larger than the local Ring villages, there's more chance of you all being together.

I have stayed in Cochem a few times, when Adenau & Nurburg are full. The only hotel I can remember is the Panorama which was very nice.

Alex, as with Jason, you hum it and I'll sing it, roughly translated as you book i and I'll pay you straight off. Happy to do bank transfer, cheque, paypal or even hard wonga!

Thanks for sorting this

[devonutopia]

Cochem looks nice.

Hopefully it will be relatively empty with guests considering whats going on on the GP circuit at the ring.

Hope this link works

I'll most probably come! Unless I got to Ibiza!

[devonutopia]

No offence to anyone on here, but with this not being quite the same as a uk meet, it needs financial commitment in a non-refundable way. I'm happy to do that. I've already booked the fri & mon off work, but am wondering with such an early start on the friday, maybe I should think about having half of thursday off too? It sounds like we're all meeting near Calais/Dunk at around 10am/11am.

More time for ring-action though! (NO misquoting )

yep I could give you the cash straight away. You've got my number and I could meet up with you at Hainault to hand it too you

[ric04vrs]

booked the days off work today , just waiting to be confirmed , got part numbers from our parts (ford) department for a kit , which includes warning triangle , hi vis tabard and first aid kit ,about £17 with ford discount , just have to a sort bulb kit now for the fabia which shouldn't be too difficult

[devonutopia]

Last time I drove there I didn't bother with these things. Perhaps it might be worth me taking something this time around though? Want to try and keep car weight to a minimum
