DrillSlinger you riding the ring taxi at 1000? If I make prior I'll see if I can't meet you and get a snap shot or two. Hope the weather's nice that day.

Are you guys staying there for the weekend? Or just going down on Saturday and leaving the same day?

Im trying to look for cheap hotels right around the 'ring, but wasnt sure if you guys had already found a good one.

Working on pitching this to the wife, she didnt seem to thrilled when i mentioned it and said "i thought we were gonna go later this summer, not this month". lol....

Sabine's mom place is really good and truly supports the enthusiasts like us..http://www.am-tiergarten.de/

I would only be saturday.

[FDM68]

I'm on Ramstein so its a day trip for me.

[Drillslinger]

Yeah, my In-Laws live in Bad Kreuznach which is only about 90 minutes away and we'll be there for the long weekend.

And yeah, Ring Taxi is scheduled for 1015 but I have to report by 1000.

[Mr Kleen]

I'm in Wiesbaden so it would just be a day trip for me.

Yup, and it's a good place to get lunch too. We usually hit up the other spot in Nurburg (forget the name) for coffee/breakfast.

[Drillslinger]

Well, it's beginning to look like I'll be there in the Wagon again so no MINI or 1M. I figure I'll pull the roof box off at Mom and Dad's though, lol.

There's another place in Breitscheid that is awesome also. I just can't remember the name of it but it's across the entrance over there.

Looks like we are going to try and get down there Friday, do a lap or 2 on Saturday and then drive back out here Saturday evening.

My wife agreed to split the 4 day weekend with me, lol.

[Mr Kleen]

How early do you think you'll be there? It's a 90 minute drive for me. How early I get there depends on my Friday night...

[FDM68]

I'd like to get there early enough to click some pix for DrillSlinger and do a lap or two before the crowd shows.

[FDM68]

The weathers looking to be 60 and no rain for saturday.

[FDM68]

Looks like I have a buddy or two planning to go also. Looking to be a good time.

What time are you shooting for?

I've done one ride along but never driven. Looking forward to "earning" my sticker.

[FOACAD]

Curious on time as well.

Since we will be staying there on Friday night, i am pretty flexible as far as meet up time on Saturday.

They open at 0800 on Sat.

Also, where is everyone meeting? Just there in the parking lot at the track?

[FDM68]

I'd like to get there around 9ish myself. Best to shoot for the overflow lot. I'll be in a LeMans blue 1er and my friend will have an all black Caddie CTS-V.

[FDM68]

Throw out what your bringing, might make it easier to locate each other
1. FDM68------LeMans blue 2011 1er

3. 135i OREO

[Mr Kleen]

I probalby can't make it there until 09:00. If y'all will still be around by then I'll go ahead and plan on driving up.

2012 AW 135i M-Sport
Hopefully I'll be rocking my new wheels!

[FDM68]

Yeah I plan on 0900 but no plan survives first contact with the enemy...haha

[FOACAD]

9 sounds good to me. Give me a chance to get up and around and out of the hotel.


Im also an AW 2012 135i

[Drillslinger]

Still gotta confirm where/when I'm meeting my buddy (who's riding with in the taxi). But 0900 in the overflow lot sounds good. Still don't know what I'll be in yet, either a too-loud (and probably dirty) Black/Silver Cooper S, a BSM E91 or the 1M
