| old porsches do run! | 19th and 20th of July! Mark your calendars! So, a full weekend meet! Main meet day is saturday with a nice event to watch, and full day to drive on the track on sunday. If you plan to drive, you might be interested to stay on monday too, since there will be significantly less people. Here's the copy-paste of the schedule: Saturday, 19th: 08:00 - 18:00 BF Goodrich-Langstreckenmeisterschaft (Nordschleife) Sunday, 20th: 08:00 - 19:30 Touristenfahrten Monday, 21st: 13:00 - 19:30 Touristenfahrten If you're coming, please send your info by PM to mgkdk: Quote:

It would be a shame if I'd miss the 2nd meet. ![]() Edit: Both dates cleared up. Either way I'm there, wohoo! Last edited by swek; May 9th, 2008 at 01:10 PM. |

As well, the VLN is a nice thing to watch, I planned on going there too. 9€ for complete entry on the stands, the pits and the track - what more do you want?

| Global Moderator | I will do my utmost best to drive out there with the three of us for one day. Both weekends are essentially just fine, it all depends on little Maud. If she can't make it, i'll probably go alone.

Car: Toyota MR2 Mk1, Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC, Peugeot 309 Rep Power: 18 ![]() ![]() | Argh, typical. I was preparing stuff (money, car) thinking I'd be able to make it. You've chosen the two weekends I'm busy (I'm going to be in Berlin both weekends...!)... Bummer... ![]()
__________________ Yup, two too many cars, but I love 'em: 1991 Peugeot 309 - owned it for four years, currently the only runner and the daily driver... but great fun to drive! French though, so gotta treat her rough to keep her happy. 1989 Toyota MR2 Mk1 - owned it for two years. Love it loads. Currently undergoing a suspension upgrade... 1987 Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC - A project car that had Headgasket issues when I bought it. I've never driven it... yet... |

Car: MINI Rep Power: 16 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | doing that definitely won´t improve your chances ![]() seriously though, it´s not as bad as you think... but anyone who doesn´t feel comfortable with the idea of driving on the track, obviously shouldn´t do it...
