Great to see this all came together in the end guys - well done. Only wish I'd could've been there... stupid ocean...

Edit: Sabine + banner = Awesomeness.

We met her at Pistenklause. She was in the middle of dinner with a larger group, but we (with the help of alok's fancy communication techniques) dragged her out for a photoshoot. images/smilies/smile.gif

Shawn · May 21st, 2007, 12:05 AM

Please tell us more about Alok's fancy communication skills. images/smilies/tongue.gif

D-Fence · May 21st, 2007, 12:09 AM

was really fun to meet you guys, and I survived a lap in MXM´s Porsche images/smilies/wink.gif

(thanks for taking me round mate!)

Will upload the images and short movies (MXM and Ford flying by f.e.) later tomorrow, too many, and I´m too tired images/smilies/wink.gif

Adu, did you notice that when you walked past under that balcony with the café at the entrance some people started like "Some say........" images/smilies/biggrin.gif

And of course I missed the group picture, but I had only 2h left to cover 260km through cologne and all the roadworks (and I did it images/smilies/biggrin.gif

) so I had to leave images/smilies/sad.gif

I think I got a sunburn btw images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Ford Prefect · May 21st, 2007, 12:13 AM

yeah my navigator got really sunburnt as well images/smilies/wacko.gif

did you guys have dinner at the pistenklause?

watto · May 21st, 2007, 12:38 AM

Well done guys! Nice photo with Sabine as well!

Look foward to some more pics images/smilies/smile.gif

pdanev · May 21st, 2007, 01:01 AM

I think that's about it, most of my pictures turned out to be pretty bad, as expected...

BlaRo · May 21st, 2007, 02:10 AM

Wow, I completely forgot about this, cool trip! Though you should have left the banner on the roof where the webcam was like the CLUB GTI plate. images/smilies/wink.gif

Plus, I recognized half of you in that group photo from the "Post Yourself!" thread. Yeah, I spend too much time here...

No I didn't images/smilies/biggrin.gif

A big thanks to everyone for showing up, and especially Ford for taking me round the ring in his awesome Mini, and Alok for having the guts to ask Sabine. Was really great fun, we should definately do this more often. I will dig through my webcam-archive from yesterday to see if anyone turned up on the ringcam images/smilies/smile.gif

Noticed that as well - you were attracting a group of Brits there all pointing at your T-Shirt but we moved on before I could tell you, Adu.

D-Fence · May 21st, 2007, 11:47 AM

I started a "collect-the-photos" thread in the Photography area.....

http://forums.finalgear.com/photography/finalgear-com-ring-meet-pics-56k-you-better-stay-where-you-are-19173/

Add the pictures posted here as well plz, otherwise it starts getting confusing images/smilies/wink.gif

Viper007Bond · May 21st, 2007, 12:12 PM

Time to post the Sabine photo on the front page. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I assume it's fine by all you since it was posted here, right? Still thought I'd check as there's a lot more exposure there than here. images/smilies/wink.gif

pdanev · May 21st, 2007, 12:15 PM

It's fine with me. images/smilies/smile.gif
