I will be going over this year but not sure which show i will be going to yet.

The main reason i want to go over is to go and do the nurgburgring in the nova! Going to try and do as many tracks as i can this year and that has to be at the top.

I know aswell as the treffen show there is a massive opel show ( blitz hitz i think? ) at the end of april. Its a 4 day show and has 1/8 mile track, show and shine etc. Its the biggest show in europe and is situated in berlin. Think i might aim to do this one, but will follow the croud to be honest.

I did it 2 years ago with andy bishop. We went in andys car and shared the costs, but cant remember how much we spent. Think it was a couple of hundred each what with insurance AA cover and petrol.

Its well worth it.

[Adam Moran]

I'm defently up for this trip!

Will be an awsome summer 8) Bring it on :lol:

^^^ fook me!! err ill read that whilst i wait for summer to come then. karl i like youre ambitions... finished car; go and enjoy it. didn't know there were a number of shows abroad worth going to; thought just treffen was the daddy. one things sure and thats no abroad (or english) track action for me just yet...a gentle drive down to belgium would be enough of a mission. no doubt there'll be more on this as the months roll on. so far only know that it'de cost ?150 return on channel tunnel for crossing or ?60-odd for return ferry in may for one car on 3 day stay.

[mikeoxford]

id be intrested in going on a trip abroad if someone could estimate what my costs would be?

[peester]

well mike thats why i put the post up. i suppose within a car club money is saved as large numbers would help get discounts. karl has said ?200 odd each if going with a mate in one car but that was pre-euro days where it probably bought him 20 nice belgian hookers, loads of beer, petrol and still had ?180 change.

[Chris]

when people have gone in the past have they travelled from hull or dover?

[peester]

both. northerners from hull; southerners from dover.

[novacabrio]

cost of ferry tickets from dover is about ?50+ depending on when you book, from hull tickets are about ?250+ but if you live up north its worth it for the saving in fuel and travel time! petrol, from hull you are only about 2 hours from where to usual show site and calais is about 4 hours if i remember right! I think the png are having a trip 1st weekend in may combined with a trip to the ring and spa all in one weekend, will keep you posted! :)

[dan_mk1]

id definately be up for it if it was around 200 quid

[Chris]

i have just priced up two ferries: -
hull to zeebrugge - ?324.08, based on two people in a car with no trailer. Sharing a cabin with lunch. Leaving hull 06/05/04 @ 1900, arriving zeebrugge 07/05/04 @ 0830. return journey leaves zeebrugge 11/05/04 @ 1900, arrives hull 12/05/04 @0800.

Dover to Calais - ?110, based on two people in a car with no trailer. Leaving Dover 06/05/04 @ 0700, arriving Calais @ 0830. Then the return goes 11/05/04 @ 1515, but it doesnt give an arrival time.
