Mark, with those bookings you are gonna be 2 months too early, however with your recent want for independance up there it seems frightfully apt (said in my best English posh accent) :)

Yes about 3.5 hours depending on Dutch traffic, I am just waiting for confirmation from hotel and will let you know asap.
I spoke to Derek a wee while ago with the details so give him a bell for an update.

Cheers,

Into Rotterdam at 8am on Saturday. Wonder if there's time to hit Stuttgart for an hour or two?

[gingernuts]

I'm still trying to decide what to do on the way down/back up.

I'm happy to tag along with the other scots to keep it easy, and the only things I want to do are go back to the eagles nest (went last year but want to show my dad it while we are so close when in salzburg) and do the 'ring and spa if possible.

I went to the Porsche museum last year and had a really good lunch in the cafe/restaurant there so would definable recommend it as a lunch stop.

Would it be worth going down a day early, and doing the ring Friday and meeting the other bunch of southerners at the ring for dinner in the evening??

Also, I hope you lot are bringing your kilts with you!?

[rstoughy]

My plans are overnight ferry from Newcastle on the Fri night, probably just head straight to Munich from there as it's a fair ol drive.
Do all the "stuff" and then get the overnight ferry back from Amsterdam on the 29th.
Need to work out where to stop overnight on the Tues after the track day and going to avoid the ring as i'll book another road trip for DN8.

You're right. Seems a bit daft being over and not coming to Munich.
Problem is time off and I want to go back over another time(s).

The ferry has gone up in price so i am booking this over the weekend :whistle:

[LeinsCSL]

You dropping into Stuttgart on the Saturday Mark? We're going to hit the Porsche museum for an hour or two in the afternoon if we can get down there from Rotterdam in time

[Mark CSL]

If i have time as i want to get some laps in before heading down

[gingernuts]

Now that Dereks dropped out, and he was my point of contact, who has booked the ferrys and what times have you booked. Looking at booking it asap.

Also wouldnt mind meeting or having a chat with some of you about tyre/brake choices as Im sick of reading through countless threads to try and find some decent info. (currently on Michelin PS2's with not a lot left in them, and standard brakes again not a huge amount left). Dont really want to shell out for cups to use once and AP's are out of my budget for the minute as I have a race car thats eating funds like no other!

fresh fluid / pagid rs 29 pads all round / braided lines
will bring the oem brakes up to speed £500-£600 outlay approx

no compromise on the tyres / cups all the way!!:-D

[3wheels3]

Cups, even though they're big bucks, are reasonable value and wear with a trackday or 2 or 3 or 4 ...

[mattCSLnut]

no compromise on the tyres / cups all the way!!:-D

+ 1 on CUPS :thumbs: there is no substitute :smokin:

[gingernuts]

I would love cups but think it'll be super sports for me. Don't want to push to hard on the car. Still new to it and have a race car for being a loon in!

Brakes wise sounds perfect. Will order that lot this week. Going to get the discs skimmed at the same time before I bed the new pads in

[gingernuts]

So whos on the thursday night ferry. Is it worth organising a rondez vous point for a convoy down to Newcastle?

[rstoughy]

Fri night one for us, straight drive to Munich on the Sat.
