Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 well last year eveyone had a few and certainly had a good evening but no one went overboard and most took there time in the morning too - I think most/all of us are sensible enough to realise that the Ring deserves respect Link to post Share on other sites

andylaurence 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 It's all about minimising risk. Those that've been there before know what it's like but not knowing some of the new people, I feel it's a good idea to point out that the 'Ring can (and does) bite. You only need to stand at the entrance for an hour to see the mess that gets brought back in on a flat-bed and know that it's not hard to have a crash. Just ask the people who've crashed on previous VR6OC trips... Link to post Share on other sites

andylaurence 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Being aware of the dangers puts you in a better place to avoid them. That's all I'm trying to say. As for not thinnking about it, you will definitely see some bent metal whilst you're there, so there will be no sticking your head in the sand! Link to post Share on other sites

andylaurence 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 When you're sat in the car park for two hours or there's a traffic jam all the way into Nurburg, you'll care. More importantly, I'm just keen to get all of us home safely. We'll have a great time with a great bunch of people but one person binning it will ruin the trip, so I'm keen it doesn't happen.

hvr6 88 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 sorry that sounded awful!! I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt or injured and it would be a great shame to see someone I knows pride and joy get ruined :-( also can prove expensive as Pete knows well I went round v slowly you'd be mad to go racing round on your first try, recipe for disaster Link to post Share on other sites

Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 could be an idea to start compiling a list of people willing to share their tents so not everyone takes one each? i know some people are sharing a tent as described on page 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I would tell her!! HAHA you dont know my missus!!! you would think honesty is the best policy but it certainly aint where she's concerned!!I had to go over to Germany last year on a work trip with a girl from the office and the barrage of questions was immense!! are you sharing a car, room, how long you going for, will you be getting drunk while there? etc etc etcI just dont tell her this sorta stuff anymore!!! makes for a quite life, i can trust myself so its not as if im "hiding" anything sinister Link to post Share on other sites
andylaurence 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 It doesn't cost more for an extra tent, so unless you're desperate to sleep with Chris, you can take your own! Link to post Share on other sites
