I wouldn't worry guys. From a meteorological stand-point, they can't really predict with much accuracy beyond about 5 days (at best), let alone 2 weeks.
These doom-sayers will be basing there "predictions" on jet-stream locations and general trends..... always very tricky to get right.
You're just as likely to get mild, calm, dry weather as a cold snap.

(there again, it could be f*ckin horrific )

Was a very good trip, great to meet old faces and new forum members.

Had a good blast out to Germany in a 5 car convoy (2 X B7 RS4, 1 x C6 RS6, 1 X B5 and 1 x e46 M3).

Have fun trying to keep up with Nige, saw 180mph on my speedo, maybe it could have done more if I never had 4 track rims, a trolley jack, and numerous other tool bags and suit cases.

The Ring event as said above was hampered by numerous accidents, but being a German blank holiday its to be expected. I managed 6 laps on the Sunday; I seemed to have spent most of the day waiting to get off track and on it!!

2 pics, one shows a bad accident that happened Monday on the Kesselchen to Klostertal stretch. So bad they shut the track and we had to drive back the way we come to the secondary exit at Ex-Muhle

Had a good blast out with Nige in the rental car, good driving there.

We tracked on the Ring until 7pm then made the move to Spa, it was night at this stage and 130 miles (ish) to the Hotel.

Got to Spa to be greated by Paulrs4, JohnnyB and gang.

This was my first trip to Spa and to be honest I was shitting my self.

I booked some tuition with Circuit Days, now which was an experience in itself as he took my car around there to demonstrate what I can/could do in it! Wow 120mph around Pouhon!!! Dream on Boy.

Overall, very good driving from the RS gang, Dave and Nige top stuff guys.

Roll on the next Spa trip.

I think we should do a Spa double day next and leave the Ring out of it, unless its a closed days.

Here,s some pics did not take many this time.


Ring, waiting to get on and off the track, you can see the que/line to get out the track!



Took this pic while waiting to get led back anti-clockwise on the track to the exit at Ex-Mahle.
