I get the ferry 3-4 times a year and never been lucky enough to get it that cheap.

It cost me about ?200 in fuel for the Journey but on the way we went through 2 unrequired countries!

I agree with all nick's prices except for the ferry. Normally Its around the ?100 mark rtn. Nick let us all know how to get those prices. Who where when???

Basically its like entering a mutli storey car park! Get a prepaid 15 euro ticket. Go up to the barrier slip it in and away you go. Do a nearly full lap then come back in where you started.

Its not like a track day over here. No briefing just get your ticket from the vending machine and your on.
Sometimes (like mine) your car gets noise tested on the car park. The marshalls are very fair though. Its just to keep the PC brigade at bay.
Whats it like?

Muslims have Mecca, us brits have the yearly ritual of the Nurburgring!

Its a fantastic exprience. Ive been 4 times now. Got back last Nov. Got a plane from Stanstead ?35 each return! Even if you only do it once it'll be well worth it. You do become hooked though. The scenery is also amazing. It has got very popular in the last year or two. Try to steer clear of british holiday periods as now everyone go's
Do it!

Cheers m8 i would really love to go this year if i get my car finished in time. Is there a few that arrange to go from novaload like convoy lol

Shane

[leebo]

Well if someone feels there up to it, he/she could organise a yearly Nurburgring expatition for a band of novaload members. I would be up for it next year after the cars fully finished nd im sure im not the only one.
