But very quickly that stopped!

Image

The Volvo was doing well and on Winter tyres!!

She enjoyed the Karussell

Looks like a V70....nice car :thumb:

So what's the score with Kirsty taking a book and a mobile with her? Ken is not that slow from memory!

Whenever I see these posts, it reminds me of the experiences both good and bad about my trips. The last one ended terribly and yet I still feel the gravity of the place pulling me back.

I look forward to the pictures and write up Chris.

Well I managed 4 laps in the afternoon and it was like having the track to yourself!! It was very quiet and only saw a few cars on the laps!

The track was dry and the weather cool which made it fantastic for the Golf, however there was a patch of damp under the trees in Hatzenbach where we got a little sideways! :o :lol:

Apart from that it was great! At brunchenn there was a group of photographers who I kept waving and flashing to as I went round and after I went up there and was met by a german man who said "Are you Chris Harris?". It turned out I knew him from a forum!! My Dad couldn't believe it!!

We also went up to the Castle which is well worth doing and then had a meal at the PistonKlause!

Flew home Ryanair and all in all a great trip!

Kirsty enjoying her lap!!!!

Wave to the cameras

Enjoying the waves back!

Superb pics Chris.

having the track to yourself is lovely isnt it - so much less pressure on you and can experiment on getting lines right and carrying speed.
