I guess I can start saving coins

May looks like a good time of year for such a trip. BTW, even when it rains it's fun at the NS. http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...er=asc&start=0

Unless I have important business on the chosen date, I'll be joining you guys at the Ring.

a) cheap hotel sounds great

b) ARMAN, if you're taking me, ofcourse I pay half (if your car will make it back to Prague )

c) Ring Taxi? is there that cutie who can overtake anyone in Transit?

I really want to do this, my friend wants to come in his car as well so i wont be alone on the trip down.

Only thing is when it will take place, i think i will still be at university in May although i could skip a monday i suppose. Coming from the UK, Id have to just do the ring as driving down to southern Germany for a car dealership then back up to the ring is stoopid.

Of course the whole thing is null and void if i dont have my next car by then!

If I have my private jet by that time then count me in, definately.

Otherwise I will consider shipping the WRX to mainland Europe and then driving the rest.
