Are we booking the same hotel?

As Gord says £171 for 4 nights [/quote]
If you book the 3 nights you get 30% off the 3 nights (£108) then book the 4th night it works out cheaper

I think thats how some booked it last time
[/quote]

Was just having a nose at the hotel site again mate, and if you book the 1 night 1st then the 3 nights it works out at £150.92 in total for the 4 nights If you book it the other way round it works out at £171.08 so saves you about £20

Just wish i had the funds to join you guys again

Yeah............ will be booking the hotel and Euro train at the weekend

I fancy taking the S2000, but don't really want to drive all that way with the soft top on the motorway so I can stick the hard top on, but then once we are there I don't want to keep it on so need someway of storing it.

If the weather is not looking too clever then I think I'll just take the Oil burner and get there in a tank of the black stuff!

Yes but if you buy 4 and we put together and i get 4, thats only £62.50 each just means we could not be on the track at the same time

Sure it wasn't a lap including the GP circuit? They sometimes do that: you get to ride the Schleife AND the GP circuit in one lap. On other occasions, the GP circuit is separately available for enthousiasts. Never driven that GP circuit myself though.

Anyway, see you guys there then. I'll be there with two friends and the Lex. Looking forward to meeting you guys in person!
