Ahhh, interesting, I'll check if I have a map of .de on mine.

If I still had the old honda (in working order) I'd go round, that car was so fun, but I don't know with that house of a car I have now.

Adunaphel · May 13th, 2008, 1:58 PM

I don't know whether or not i'll take my car round this year. Depends first and foremost on the makeup of the occupants of my car images/smilies/smile.gif

mgkdk · May 13th, 2008, 2:27 PM

^ Let me know if you need a babysitter images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Dins · May 13th, 2008, 2:36 PM

Need new tires, but I'll certainly go round a couple of times.

The GPS is a very very good idea images/smilies/ohmy.gif

Believe me, the thought did cross my mind...!
Unfortunately flying to Berlin. I'll be back in the UK on the 18th July, but it's Dad's birthday on the 19th... Maybe I can just call him from Germany... Hmmm... images/smilies/lol.gif

IceBone · May 13th, 2008, 10:20 PM

I'll be on new tires as well, these puppies can fly, but they are a bit worn out already. Also, a little reminder, most of the nordschleife was resurfaced in january, so the asphalt is very smooth and very grippy. According to Ford Prefect, tires tend to squeal even in the wet.

And i hope he comes again, his knowledge of the track really helped me, i'd love for him to be my codriver again, if he doesn't fall asleep from boredom. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Time of 12:27, you're getting your ass kicked!

I will definitely be slower than that ! I will be too scared to crash to really push it images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I´ll definitely take that as a compliment, thanks images/smilies/smile.gif

but as I said, compared to some of the people I usually meet up with at the ring I´m still a "noob" (sorry 4 tha lolspeak language yo)... if I do manage to come I´ll try to bring my buddy Axel along, he knows the track way better than me, and his english is very good as well.

IceBone · May 13th, 2008, 10:58 PM

Look at it this way, it'll be a learning experience for both of us. images/smilies/wink.gif

Dins · May 14th, 2008, 4:29 PM

So far my best time was a 9:42min, so anyone up for a white knuckle ride is welcome to join images/smilies/wink.gif

Happy to co-pilot as well, know the track and its details (at least last year's) fairly well.

IceBone · May 14th, 2008, 4:36 PM

Woah, i'm game for both! images/smilies/ohmy.gif

killpanda · May 14th, 2008, 5:04 PM

I'd love both as well images/smilies/biggrin.gif

mautzel · May 14th, 2008, 7:34 PM

Not sure whether I should send the Golf on another lap, but if I'm carfully at the Karussell this time nothing too bad should happen. images/smilies/smile.gif

Which is the final date now btw?

so there will be at least one ring-guide images/smilies/biggrin.gif

the tarmac they´ve laid down is actually quite amazing, but there are some quite critical points in the wet. Schwedenkreuz for example has been redone quite well, and there is lots of grip in the rain, but then right after that, in the braking zone for aremberg they have the old tarmac, which is really slippery. The exit of brünnchen is great though, squealing tires even in the pouring rain. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

IceBone · May 14th, 2008, 7:58 PM

Let's hope for sunny skies then. images/smilies/smile.gif

I think we can finalize 19th-20th now, based on the votes made. I'll change the first post.

By taking 12+13 we lose D-Fence, homer, kip, mautzel, mgkdk.
By taking 19+20 we lose Dins and Steve.

IceBone · May 14th, 2008, 9:06 PM

Aaaw, not Dins, he has a fast car! images/smilies/sad.gif

And didn't D-Fence say he has both dates freed up?

MXM · May 14th, 2008, 9:25 PM

He didn't, Ice, that was swek.
