Nuerburgring track + Techno Classica, Essen

See above +

The Techno Classica at Essen from 6-9th April is an excellent, indeed the largest, show of classic cars (pre- and post-vintage) in Europe. Its like the show we did at the NEC, except bigger (13 Halls!). Next year VW are celebrating 30th birthday of the GTi at Essen too (my GTi's 30th too, nearly as old as me!). There will be a hall hired by VW with many VW Clubs attending, including the Mk1 Club of Germany. It may even be possible to have a Club stand. Naturally there will be Autojumbles and Cars For Sale (!)

Accommodation via Hotels or Camping

Both sound good to me Rajan!! Would be nice to get a club stand :wink:

Lets gauge what response we get but esp. as 30th B-day it would be rude not to go!

Cheers

:y:  im in

I would love to go to wolfsburg,i can fill my mk1 diesels boot full of cooking oil and get there cheap  :wink:
Get it sorted
Bert

wolfsburg trip sounds great, will let you know for definate after new year.

Yay go Rajan!

You know im in…….. I'm the instigator :y:  

This is going to be awesome!

Well I'm up for combining Wolfsburg and the Ring in the same trip. How far are they apart?

I've never been to Germany and always wanted to go.
If we organise it well enough we could do a proper tour of the fatherland.

Must be tonnes of stuff to do!

I would like to go to look round the Porsche meuseum/factory if they have one… I'm guessing Stuttgart. Is that on the way? ( ooops?. I?ve lets it slip I love Porsche?s )

Any other ideas peeps? :dontknow:

maybe, been looking at the shows in pvw and they look pretty good, also are the autobahns en route    ill be in if i manage to get the mk1 ready by then with its new engine!! but guna run it b4 i go anyway that distance!!

I'm up for a trip to wolfsburg, I would like to go to the ring but not in my mk1 - if I still had my impreza I would but I think it would do more harm than good to my poor ol' mk1 :?

You can deffo put my name down for a 30th anv meet at wolfsburg - may even have both mk1s ready???? :wink:

Do more harm than good…… nah it will let her stretch her legs! ha ha :wink:

Yea i be up for a trip to the ring,if i get my mk1 back on the road by then

hopefully  going in for bodywork and spray at end of jan,that will give me a few months to put it back together

Also got to finish building up my 9a block

Rajan  how far is wolfsburg from the   ring?

     Mark

Its quite far from Wolfsburg to the Ring, around 300 miles or 5 hours drive.

I am working on getting some more details, then I will put up a poll of some options to find out everyone's preferences!

Cheers
Rajan

I think it really should be two seperate trips otherwise to take things in and do a nice tour not just a flying visit to places  - it will take two weeks or at least 10 days and I dont know about anyone else but with so many other shows to book holiday for it will really stretch my holiday budget

hi guys, im new ive been to alot of the famous shows abroad, and would love to join you if you don't mind. regards Gurv

Hi Gurv take it my link worked.  

Nice to have you on board mate :wink:

Do you have any links for the Wolfsburg Mk1 meeting? Would be very interested in attaending that one! Thanks in advance.

Please see the first post again to vote!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to go to both - I think I will fly to Essen though as my Mk1 definitely won't be ready in April.

However, if all goes well it should be ready for July, and I will drive to the Ring. That's my cunning plan anyway  

There must be more peeps out there willing to drive to ze fatherland. Come on this the birthplace of the mk1 wolfsburg will be ace 8)
Would rather do wolfsburg on its own but the temptation of the ring is too great :twisted:

Maybe if we posted some pics of the mk1 meet at wolfsburg it would spark some interest. Man it looks so cool! Can any one find the thread with the pictures? :dontknow:
