Ring trip
Pants On Fire - 4/9/07 at 08:55 PM

Got back yesterday from a weekend at the Ring in the Indy. Drove there & back and round the Ring several times.

Here's me through Bruschen (the black 7) held up behind an old Scimitar.

1000 + miles over the weekend and only 1 breakage, a stone through the headlight.

1 moment on track at Adenau Forst but scarier still was aquaplaning on the E42 through Liege on the way home a proper pants sh*****g moment.

Not only is the Ring worth every penny and the effort to get to but the roads around the Ring are bliss, recommend to anyone they take time to explore the area to the North of the Ring.

I'll post more piccys in my archive in the week.

Woah! My mates are on there!! If you see a red F355, black Supra or silver Elise Sport 160 thats them!

Awesome trip for all involved apart from the Elise driver whose clutch fell apart on lap 18 unfortunately...

Still back in the UK now apparently courtesy of the AA.

Incidentally, 5 out of 6 cars in the pic are from this country!

Also jealous, but have been twice in the last couple of years too. Certainly is quite an amazing place for lots of reasons.

Outbound was glorious sunshine all the way.

Inbound was wet from Nurburg to Namur, as I said I had a big moment in Liege on the E42.

Will get better ear plugs next time!
