I am taking my Nikon D90 so will do my best Phil, shame you can't join us. New York is dull. I try to avoid it but allways end up there somehow every year.

That is brilliant news. You and me were the only ones brave enough to do xxx MPH to keep up with DK and not get lost in our last convoy :ol: :thumbs:
Dont talk too soon Amar, last year Ring trip saw us doing silly speeds. I saw 180pmh on my speedo and I had 4 wheels, trolly jack and 3 bags of crap in my car.....while trying to keep up with Nige who was coasting down from a nice 199.9 GPS verified MPH. lol :beerchug:


BTW I might not be in an Audi...however it would be rude not to take the Audi....dont want to be left behind PMSL

Are many of you coming down in the morning. Would have loved this trip but work commitments blah blah.

I do however live in Ashford and would like to join the "formation lap" from Maidstone to Folkestone in my 6

If your early doors there is a cracking little tunnel nearby

Although with 14+ v8's and v10's I think the structural integrity may be put at risk!

DK - what time are you leaving North London? I'll leave my passport at home but a blatt down to Folkstone could be fun. That's one classy convoy, it'd be rude not to lower the tone, Darth-style.
No matter where you go, there you are.

OK Peeps... meeting detail for those travelling out on Monday on the 07:50am “Le Shuttle”

If travelling south from M25/6 meet ME20 7 Coldharbour Lane, Aylesford (it’s Jnct 5 of M20 then just off to the left) at... 6am !!
We’ll leave at 06:10am SHARP, trundle down to Folkestone as the sun rises and go past for http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format ... 6245344881... (Come straight OFF after tunnel to return other direction!!) :twisted:
We’ll then go to the local Tesco, brim tanks with some Momentum (T99) and get to the Terminal by 07:20am check-in, to meet any others in the main car park.

Then hopefully all get on the train (lower deck) together but meet in the French gas station on the left straight after arrival terminal to group up pre convoy.

Plan to stop on route a couple of times to refuel cars and selves, anyone has any car/human issues don’t be afraid to call a break! I have some radio’s to use but bottom line is we stay together and arrive safe in Nürburg... together, be cool, there’s a lot of us so let’s just make sure we all get there safe with licences in tact... for starters the M20 is a nightmare around Maidstone for traffic police! 8)

And we’re visiting the best road race track in the world to let off a little steam if needed, so we’ll just enjoy the cruise down. :D :D :D

Nice one. There is a light blue Jaguar XR That hides up in or around the Maidstone area (M20) it does creep up to the Met/Kent police boundary on the A20 ;)
