Anyone out there this date? Me and a friend are heading over. Open all day sat sun and Mon

I take it you mean the ring mate me and some others may be up for the trip with you, cheers steve.

A group of us are heading over on the Ferry from Newcastle on the 16th and heading to the ring on 17th. If you see a convoy of Porsche Boxter, TVR (350 I think, if it's still not broke), Chipped Fiat Coupe & a white R26 (Decals & a private plate) thats us. Were are heading on though to do Stelvio Pass and a load more for a weeks tour.

Yes did mean the ring! Your quite local as well so could convoy! Just booked into a hotel and booking ferry tonight

How far is the stelvio pass from the ring, i would love to do that.

No idea tbh! If you are planning to go best get booked quick as hotels are filling fast. Also ferry is 48 quid return from dover to dunkerque

PM me all the details of your booking , who you booked ferry with, what time, and dates mate , cheers steve, im up your way soon working at a stie on lincoln rd, we stay at my brother in laws and allways stop off at the blue bell in peacurk for a pint on our way back from work.

How far is the stelvio pass from the ring, i would love to do that.

It's a good 480 miles mate, bit further the way I'm doing it as going via Stuttgart & then Zurich on some of them unrestricted Autobahn bits.

Sounds like the trip I'm looking at doing in august. How much is it costing so far?

Well the last time I did the ring it cost me about £500 for everything , hotel , fuel, meals and booze for 4 days so not to bad realy

That's not bad at all. Can't wait to go :)

Last year I spent around 600 doing 15 laps and buying a few crates of beer to bring home! Price depends on how many laps you do as they aren't cheap plus the extra fuel to do them

Wow that's a fair amount of laps. I'm only looking to do upto 4 as it's my first time

It's addictive. First time I went I bought 8 thinking more than enough then ended up doing 13! Only doing 4 laps would mean cheap trip

That's what I'm looking for breamy :)

I think I bought about 4 t- shirts a coat and a pair of driving trainers loads of stickers and other bits and bobs , you just can't help yourself there is that much gear to choose from your spoilt for choice

you coming out to the ring this weekend a16pse?

That wasnt the last time but yes in 09 i did go with liam lol. looks a good route your planning! hope the ring is open when you are going!

Yea its open for a hour the night before, and the whole day the day after...
On the un-official callander mind....

If its not open, ill be heading back over near the end of the year...

I just need to check with my mate as his MRS is expecting their 1st child so if its to near the date we will have to miss, mind you i have another mate to try as it would be a long drive on my own.
