Well, the weekend was excellent, it started very hot 32 deg and thats how it stayed all weekend.

overall 11 cars turned up from all around germany

Dresden, Hamburg, Bavaria, Cologne, Walsrode, Berlin, Fallingbostle and Hannover

1 came from Belgium (the LS430), Rob(Fluff) drove up from Switzerland, and Andy hart came from the UK

3 DAYS OF CAMPING, DRINKING AND BAR-B-Q's

on the saturday we went go-carting, which was excellent, and lots of cruising around was done......the filling up of 7 IS200 and one LS430 in one small village petrol station was quite a crowd magnet.

Andy will be doing his review when he returns, hes just left................for England, and Rob for Switzerland

here is the start of the pictures, there was litterally hundreds taken over the weekend, plus some excellent film footage, if we can find somewhere to host it.

no not a fire but my face was a bit red from rage!!! to cut a long story short, had the wheels fitted, went to pick up the car, car was unlocked but i heard the radio on! mmm strange! then saw that the ingition barrel was in the ACC position and no matter what you did with the key it wouldnt move - Mr. Knuckle dragger tyre fitter couldnt work out that you have to push the key in to take it out, so decided to rip it out instead - after about 45 mins is prodding/poking and stripping bits of dash away, mats friend fixed the barrel. - a relief as the bill for a new barrel/cylinder didnt look to be very good.

But my new wheels are on and the modded exhaust sounds great when its hot ( after 6hrs on the autobahn LOL) has rasp sound but not too loud, just the way i like it

it was a great weekend and very hot

wait for next years!!!

DID U GET THOSE DUDES TO PAY FOR YOUR LOCK?

good to see you got back ok Rob.....WHAT TIME?

ummmmmm time - ok left urs at 0930 arrived here at 1600, i had 2 rest stops and a stretch, traffic was fine no probs with the roadworks this time.

5.5 hrs to do 450miles 81 av' mph - not bad as the first 45 mins wasnt on the autobahn

there wasnt any physical damage to the lock or surrounding area (luckily)
just things in the lock got out of sequence

Nice piccies Mat....sounds like you guys had a good crack!!

twas eggzelent

It was a fantastic weekend, I just wish more UK guys could have come. It is a fantastic venue and we could have an entire field to ourselves (instead of sharing with speedo wearing bikers ) if more cars turn up to the next one

As Mat said, the temperature never dropped below 30 degrees all weekend, so it was BBQ after BBQ (the first one was at 3am if I remember ) and beer after beer.

I will try and get a review out before too long so you guys could see what you really missed

[i]If it had been a week earlier then I was in Cologne [/i]
