Who of your friends lives in the Eurotunnel that you would like to write a letter to?

Guys I am DEFINATELY not going to make this, so if anyone wants 3 Nights in the Mercure with Breakfast, I will let them go for £120...

That is bargain of the f***** century so come on, if you were wavering, now is the time lol!!

Looks really good. Seems to be sunny, rain probability is almost zero. Let's hope for very few accidents and closures of the 'Ring!

Well thats me all packed up, and ready to leave in the morning....

It takes me 1 and 1/2 days to get there from Northern Ireland, so I will be there for Friday lunch time...!

Hope to see some of you's out there..

It did! Nobody made an accident, all cars are still in great shape, and we had two excellent dinners yesterday and this evening.

Just came home - and it was fantastic again, although I only drove today (but that's a different story).

More to come in the next days, including photos (Jochen @ Frozenspeed made quite a few, and most of them excellent).

Had a truly fabulous weekend - suffering a bit now with tiredness! This trip will definitely be one that will remain firmly in the memory banks for a very long time

Was great to see old friends again as well as making new ones. Am so glad that everyone got there and back safely with no off-road excursions. Well done in particular to Paul, Lars and Kevin as they were all new to the 'Ring and weren't daunted by the experience.

I'm sure the others will post pictures and write up their experiences from the viewpoint of their own driver's seat. For me, there were a few driving highlights - showing Yaz how his RS4 cabrio can really be driven and outstripping a GT3 and R8 through the corners at 100mph+

; driving a manual LHD 335i properly and momentarily forgetting that I needed to use my right hand to change gears

; showing Paul that my car really can overtake an F430 accelerating at full chat whilst going uphill

; Matt timing me doing an 8min dead lap time despite considerable traffic and a yellow flag

; oh, and Paul's 720 degree pirouette with a couple of rollovers thrown in for good measure

There were even one or two (well ok, a few) butt-clenching moments and someone did lose their pants at the 'Ring, but I'll leave the explanation there....!!!

Thanks to all those who came along. It still amazes how a group of internet geeks get on so well in the real world and despite our totally different backgrounds, we all seem to gel as a group and have some real fun in the progress, no matter whether it's in England or 400 miles away in the heart of Germany.

Can't wait for the next group visit in August

- Paul - · 05-25-2010, 12:43 PM

I had a slide - it was scary as f@@@ for me but Tony wasn't phased!

dxb335d · 05-25-2010, 12:45 PM

Glad all is ok!
