Hi,

Depending on the timing, I and the boss may be up for this as well...

And a stop at the ring on the way back - too right..

Just got back from a business trip, seen this - great idea - much better than my vague european rwd rally scheme as detailed in the other thread.

Count me in.

I'm very interested in this - even tho i'm not a VOC member (as yet) I'm being swayed! Please put me down as a 'possible-probable'

Will have to get to some Billet meets in the meanwhile tho!

I agree a trip to the 'Ring' would be great, but it would add an extra 2 or more days to the event and might not be of as much interest to wives/girlfriends/husbands/boyfriends/partners/mistresses/toyboys/mothers/fathers/sisters/brothers/friends/aquaintences/bloke met in pub/cats' previous owner etc etc.......

If we go to the Ring I'd want to go to Spa and also spend more time in Germany and head down to Black Forest, then there's the Bavaria studios where Das Boot was filmed and while we're in the region it'd be silly not to go to Austria and Italy's only a few miles extra and why don't we come back via Monte Carlo.......................

I reckon we leave the Ring until another time - lets see how successful this trip is first and if it works out then we/you can always organise a visit to the Ring and Spa etc.

While I'm busy writing this another thought has occured - we know who's interested but not how many they'll be bringing and how many cars. This would help us with negotiations with the relavent parties so could I be a pain and ask all those who've already posted to reply with an idea of no of cars and no of people?

I'll start;

V6 Man - plus wife and brat in one car

If people are keen on the Nurbergering it could be possible to have a separate trip next year. I spoke to Chris Kay at the last VU meet and he kindly sent me links so we have the info to go if anybody wants to! Rupert and I discussed the possibilities of going to the ring before I posted the initial thread, however as he has said we need to look after the interests of partners and children and going to the ring either going or returning from Sweden would add more days to the trip. Anyway nothing is set in stone yet.....
