Nurburgring trip

[dmallett]

My mate who came snetterton is up for it, im pretty sure last weekend in may suits me.

[Rhys Beal]

would rather go when East of England members are going as i'd know more people then

This^

Im interested, should follow the euro road trip done on here before as it looked epic. Even though it's 2000 miles lol

Depending on when this will go ahead, I would be interested if we follow the euro trip.

[dmallett]

Rhys sums up my feelings tbh, the full road trip would be a better experience i recon! and a good laugh

but im easy really.

[Rhys Beal]

It would be phenomenal, I think less people would be interested though as I have no idea on what sort of budget is needed!

[dmallett]

For anyone unaware of the euro road trip, look here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showt...ort&highlight=
As for cost no idea, i remember reading it cost £400 each to do that, unsure though.

[dmallett]

£400 was for fuel in 2010 lol. Probably cost over £600 with camping :/

[Rhys Beal]

£400?! 2000 miles of petrol! lol

As for cost it doesn't really worry me as it would be so worth it I'm sure.

Would be good to know though, I shall delve in......

[dmallett]

Find some figures and well try sort something read my 2nd post on price lol.

Best get Back to painting the clio ...

[Rhys Beal]

Look forward to seeing it finished

Rough budget for the previous trip around Europe and a good few laps of the ring would be in the region of £700.

Now obviously there are so many factors that can change this, where you eat, accommodation, how many laps of the ring, if you have nights out, how much you drink etc etc. you get the picture. I am sure even without being "tight" you can do it for less.

Also, if you have a passenger that cost can be split down with fuel costs etc.

I think that is an "ok" base to start with, so who would be interested in the trip across Europe aswell as going to the ring?

[dmallett]

Me

I'd have to give it a miss this year, the "Euro Trip" that is due to funds being needed elsewhere but will still be doing the Ring for a long weekend

[Liquid yellow 182]

I'd be up for one next year if any happen.

[LewisTaylor]

I don't think i'd be able to do the euro trip, lack of funds, gonna be very tight just going to the Ring, but it's something that i need to do

[dmallett]

Ring trip weekend then? Ha

Be good if a few of us go

[LewisTaylor]

This is what i'm thinking, can't afford to miss to much work. Self employed

[HMS Derv Destroyer]

i'm off to the ring in august and having a trip round germany with a couple freinds.

all going in our own cars ie: me in the dci, azz in the 206 and ben in the punto abarth.

should be good . whats best for getting thier? train or ferry to france and drive the rest?

[dmallett]

Ferry cheaper and you can get a half decent fry up on them, the euro tunnel is quicker though.

On a note for us lot, there used to be a ferry from felixstowe to Belgium. Ill look into it.

[Chri5]

The ferry from Dover to Dunkirk is really cheap, around £26 each way for a car inc passengers. its the dfds seaways company

[dmallett]

£58 to go over on friday the 25th and return monday the 28th, with upto 4 people! The prices dont change if you come back sunday either. And thats with upto 4 people in a veichle.

If you look at the apartment that sleeps 10-12 people it works out at 45euros a night, which is fairly cheap tbh.

Any thoughts?

[dmallett]

Actually would work out cheaper to have double rooms lol. at 37.50euro a night, my bad lol.
