No 56k: Ringmeet 2011 - What could possibly go wrong? (Dump all your pics & videos here)

Yeah, I thought of bringing almost anything... except sunblocker.
Your camera is almost comically off on shades of red - neither my Kadett, nor the Landmann grills, nor the tablecloth in the restaurant were pink ;)
 
It doesn't look pink on my monitor. Can anybody confirm what Dr_Grip said?
 
47 reporting, got home safely at 3:20AM today! Nice and sunny here, unlike the Eifel! Damn you rain!!

Anyway, what's there to say, it was truly awesome. Great meeting everybody ;)
The Ring itself is astonishing, really blew me away. Almost blew my car too :D But luckily it was just a scare, no problems whatsoever on the way home.

Next time I'm coming at least on Friday, so I can be rested for Saturday. And getting a better tent, we got a leak, so didn't manage to sleep as much as I'd want.
Too bad the weather was so bad, I would have loved to see more of the track, but Brunchen will have to do. Next time...

I've got some pics, going through them right now. And a few videos, which I'll be putting up in the following days.

If someone spots my focus on the photographers pages, please link ;)

Looks like an awesome time was had by all.

Really sorry that having said I would try to make it this year circumstances prevented it.

Finally looks as if things are starting to settle down for me, I'll be independent and in my new place from October 1st and can start saving for next year.

And I'll leave the puns at home, I promise! ;)
 
My final round of pictures shows Sunday morning. And it started like this:

Use the 720p version to get the full impression.

(I left those two pics in their original resolution of 2304 x 1728)

I was lucky, that I got to use the shower before it started pouring.

So while the lawn slowly turned into a swamp, we stood and sat around, doing nothing, waiting for the rain to stop or at least getting thinner. The one with the biggest umbrella got breakfast rolls and some improvised breakfast developed. After that everyone started packing up i still slight rain but no matter, packing up had to be done. But eventually it stopped raining long enough.

Public exposure: That's what you get for getting a cup of coffee, while the rest summons for the group picture :D

Ringmeet was awesome, The Ring is awesome, sun burns, Eiffel region has nice roads with nice views, sun burns and Ringmeet was awesome. Will be attending next year, hopefully with my own car.

Some random cars and bikes doing tourist laps











The N?rburg castle

"O" Face? 'Ring face? Same thing!"
 
Yeah, turned out that the parking lot where we all hung out and most parked their cars didn't belong to the campsite but the restaurant across the road, so we had to relocate.
 
"The time it takes to loot a store later..." :lmao: Yeah you got us :lol:
