Awaits headlight won't fit jokes.
Soultion, 4G on the bottom so leak rust on the road, 5G on the top deck - there's no height limit so headlights will fit :D

Nahh, the company you use will deliver the cars with one truck then send another to collect them again.
Really?

So that's then 2 x return trip fuel bills, plus 2 x channel crossings.......seems like the price will be the same either way!!
No, it might not even be the same company that takes you both ways, but you'll pay for a return trip. the car transport company's all buy jobs off each other. We do it with frozen food.


Fixed it I think lol

DFDS (Norfolk Line) will do the return trip for £70 (Dover-Dunkirk). This is the ferry we usually use; it's generally cheaper than the Calais route and certainly not as dear as the chunnel.

You'd probably earn more being paid to keep your kit on!

now who is being alarmist :shock: with ZERO research or experience I would hang fire on your Al Gore style exclamation marks :lol:


i like the idea of a convoy. i also like the idea of being quite a bit more secure about my car getting to and from :? :) I do think that if a south east collection point was agreed that a transporter and plane kinda thing could save quite a bit of cash all round.

i might be able to get a place to stay down in dover so im easy either way. its a bloody long drive from calais to the ring though :o

It's only about 4 1/2 hours, depending on the time of day.

I thought that unless it's a designated track day, ie: no public allowed, your car has to be road legal. That might make it difficult for track-only cars.

well ferries, the thing i think ALOT of you are forgetting is how low your car is! some of you WILL struggle to get on the ferry, especially if you are put up top ;)

alot of the lads went over on the ferry and came back on the tunnel this time :idea:

unfortunately if i take the BB4 it wont be allowed as LPG cars arnet permitted on there!

fuel wise, i think i filled up on the way, once at dover, once on the belgiun/german border, just incase i think you could do it in a oner, but then i did have to stop for an hour to try and fix the car, gave up, made up that hour, got there 30 mins before anyone else :oops: :?

Fuel at the ring is MEGA expensive, if you go and i dont i'll show you where to get the cheaper stuff!

as you all drive VTEC yO's, oil, take loads, thats expensive aswell! ;)

beers cheap and there is a beer supermarket, just keep your empties as you get cash back for bottles/cans (not just beer but pop aswell)

food cheap enough aswell, a good few places in nurburg, BBQ stuff is cheap, if you end up staying at the main ring hotel (the one you can see on forza and GT5, coming down the hill before the left over the bridge) its good, he has a BBQ out back and is happy if you get hammered on your own beer, not really cheap there but breakfast is included! #Eddie the guy that owns and runs it looks like a meat head phil collins, apparently, i could see it myself!

if you want to go lapping, please FFS be careful, ask pete106, ask anyone who has been there, you bin it it'll cost you a grand min just to get off the ring, thats not a body lemonade take either! thats before you fix/replace your car, get it home/yourself home. thats if you are lucky enough to walk away! treat it like a road on a sunday morning, it is a road, i almost came unstuck! just remember that you may see mainly m3's, porkers etc all the time but the next corner there could be a coach (this happens) or an ambulance on a charity run (thats what happened to me) on the apex coming out of the carousel where you cant really steer or let off!

its 10 mins long, road tyres will struggle, brakes will get hot, engine will try to boil, keep that in mind!

sorry to scare you but just go on to you tube and spend and hour looking at crashes!
