Anyone ever thought of going to the homeland?

Nurrenberg that is! Some autobahn and the ring sounds very appealing to myself and a few mates! Anyone made it in a mk1?

when my golf sorted i'm going to 'pop over' to germany head over to the wolfberg museum av a gander and then pop over to the ring and do some laps then find a nice romantic hotel b&b or something park up for a few romantic nights with the wife and then mosey on home

arrr one day i will  and i will make it with deisel reliability and simpleness may not be the fastest but gets me there (well, will do! i hope one day)

rov,i will come with you,leave the mrs's together and we can go investigate pubs and stuff  :wink:

i will have to hold you to that bert prob 2008 the way things are going at the mo but willl deff go!

:y:
Bert

donna now saying she'd be at pub with us and she don't stay in.  she just doesn't understand

Im gonna see if i can make it over in my golf so im happy with the slow over lol will have fun on the ring and the autobahn. Might try and get a bigger engine fitted before we go.

Theres a few lads i know up for going so perhaps we could make it a meet when everyones goin!

I would go on cooking oil 45p per liter, so that means you couldnt follow me as the smell would make you in the car behind want to eat all the way there   you would arrive as fatties  :wink:
Bert

Cooking fat? I'd end up fat i think either that or there would be alot of donought stops

Allways been tempted to go, plus dont forget ya sticker  

I did the `Ring` last year on the way the `Worthersee` Vw show in Austria,what a laugh,i was waving a Union jack flag out of the window on the left side of the car and all the photographers stared in horror as we roared around the bends at 60 or 70 plus MPH and they thought i was driving with my hands off the wheel ha ha ha! (remember the steering wheel is on the other side)

Lol my mate jon made it in a sierra and back twice    i was shocked but it got me thinking about going!

Excellent,the drive to the `Ring` is easy and does`nt take long from the ferry,we blasted round it then drove another 800 odd miles to Southern Austria for the show afterwards lol

Wooosh mate sounds like a good run (especially with the 800+ sfterwards)

Few quick questions i have are,

How much was the fuel approx? (to the ring)
How much was the ferry etc?

Would ask jon but i dont see him that often dont want hm to think im only in contact for some info! lol
cheers ebo

i intend on getting to wolfsburg one day , always something else taking up my money. i would love to drive into the factory yard on the aniversary of my car being made, maybe even ask "if it's still in warrenty ? can you just check my brakes as they don't seem to work very well "

The Ferry over last year cost us 75 quids return,i cant give you a precise cost on fuel as we took a W8 Passat in 06 but when i drove my 8V in 05 i spent only 200 quids there AND back to southern Austria

Yup, I drove down to the ring last summer. It's only 2 1/2 hours from my house so not too taxing. Highly recommended at least once in your life as is a trip in one of the ring taxis.
