Mind you, the disguise outfit you'd need to wear while buying might cost a bit more to hire!

No problems last year cashing in multiple vouchers - even at the same time.

I really wish they wouldn't do this tho as it encourages the riff-raff in their chavmobiles. :evil:

8O

My car comfortably gets there on a tank thanks to 35mpg+

Sadly, this figure drops to about 6mpg on the 'Ring.

the gearing on my car is rubbish - at 90mph I am doing about 5000rpm! Coupled with no carpet, no stereo and no one passenger to moan at it wasn't that fun.

Crashing my car at Wehrseifen wasn't much more either!

Was on Saturday, still a bit wet, carried in too much speed, back end came out and I made the mistake of lifting off. Car snapped back the opposite way and I hit the rear quarter quite badly.

Luckily I didn't have to pay for the barrier - it was a 12 metre section and sorted the car so got a few more laps in on Sunday and drove all the way home.

Will post up some pictures later for all to poke fun at.

It's what I'm good at!

The back stepped out to the right going round the hairpin, then snapped back to the left on the exit - I either over corrected or lifted, probably the latter, but unsure as it all happened so quickly...I shouldn't have been such a wimp, kept the power on and (tried desperately) to hold the slide!

Although seeing the state of some of the cars on Sunday, I was very fortunate with getting away how I did.

Ah right, I understand now. Easily done, trick is not to make the same mistake twice. Must have been a great relief when you were told you're not getting stung for armco damage.

I didn't care about the car after that...hopefully will get it sorted properly and back out at Bedford early December.
