Autobahn Run 21/22 April

Hello all,

I'm planning on going on the following trip and wondered if any of you lot fancy it? I was also contemplating the possibility of including a trip to the Nurburing during the weekend. After all its not every day you drive to German, and with the Autobahns it should not take too long to get there.

Will post the original pistonheads tread link later this week.

Cheers

For those that have not yet spotted this on pistonheads, our Dutch and German friends are organising a run up and down a few nice straight German autobahns with a couple of long tunnels thrown in for good measure too.

The plan is for the UK contingent to make a weekend of it. Take the tunnel around 9 - 10 am on the Saturday morning, 'leisurely' drive the 300 miles to a hotel on the Dutch / German border. We plan to meet that evening for a few social drinks with our continental colleagues who I'm sure will make a warm welcome for us .

The high speed action will start around 10:00 on the Sunday and then there will be a BBQ type lunch afterwards.

We will head back for a late evening crossing between 8 - 10 pm on Sunday.

The crossings are very cheap at this time of year - only £54 return. Dutchie is looking into accommdation with safe parking for us.

21st is Supra only Santa Pod day & Bolney meet already!

Get me dates on this asap or a link to that thread! I live on the Dutch/German border and the autobahn entrance is 1/4mile from my house.

Jspec Germany,

I will forward the origional link as soon as I get it, just heard about this today. Just wondered how far is the Nurburgring from where we are harding? (Dutch/German border ) Is it likely to be on route?

I don't know, but I get there door to track entrance in about 76 minutes. I am about 20 mins from the Dutch border. How many people are attending this? There's a great bridge over the autobahn near my house that would be awesome for filming!

Total numbers are hard to tell so far, from the Furball forum, there are 7 so far sighed (inc me). But there will be more from Pistonheads forum coming along. As a rough figure say 20-50 cars from the UK and then there are the Dutch & German.

In terms of numbers its hard to put a figure on it at the moment

1) TVR Tuscan s

2) TVR Cerbera

3) Diablo

4) TBC -

5) TBC

6) TBC

7) Toyota Supra TT

Ok, anybody have a Lat/Long or intersection where the border crossing will be? I'd like to pinpoint how far from the house this will be.
