The war and peace of the April Ring Trip

Post by Stuart »

This is a blow by blow report. If you find it boring then I apologise now, but shortening it does no respect to the trip and those that took part in it.

The Destination~
The Nordschleife in the Eiffel Mountains, Germany

The Cast~
Dunk (Mr Potato Head~ self explanatory)
Rolty (Mini Dunk~ if they were anymore similar you would think they were cloned)
Beanpotter (Dr Evils little friend~ the things Dean will do for a deal)
Gareth (Tarka the Otter~ I've never heard so much noise in the toilet before)

WoW what a read struggled to the end with the missis butting in :wink:

Keep thinking about tagging along in Sept but not sure if its made me want to do it more or terrified me out of doing it :!:

It really does sound like you all had an amazing time did everyone get home in one piece :?: :-D

Gareth and I walked across the road laughing and we were approached by a smartly dressed young bloke with an OPT drift sticker in his car. Martin introduced himself and we chatted away for a while about drifting, the Ring and cars in general. He competes in drift events in Germany and Austria. One of those chance meetings and nice to see he has subsequently signed up on the board too
yep here i am :wave2:

Great write up Stu - Thanks :) (and I managed to read every word with no boredom)

I gutted that I could not make this trip, I am now devistated! I must find the time and money to sort my car for the next one :nod:

Congrats on the great times achieved guys (Duncan must try harder :lol:) Sorry to hear about people having trouble, I know how much Ginola was looking forward to the track time when I saw him last week.
