Hey all,

A few members from the AOC and others were attending the Nurburgring to burn some rubber here is my collection of stories and pics.

First things first, me and my mate scott and paul were heading down to dover from scotland, so it was a late departure at 9ish on thursday night to get us down to Dover for around 5am

a couple of laps were in order

and i must say it was the most high addrenelin course ever, the bends straighs and the G forces is enough to keep you coming back for more lol

while we let the cars cool down time to grab some scenery shots.

after a couple of laps i decided to take a wander into Nurburg

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w39/sallen01ws/eurotrip08160.jpg

That night we settled for something to eat in nurburg with will and tim,
unfortunately my other mate paul in the red Audi had left us early due to personal circumstances but i was a shame he missed out.

but early night (well if thats what you call hanging about the bar in the hotel till stupid o'clock hehe)

up early next morning and headed down to the entrance, whilst waiting on the worlds slowest getting ready people (will and tim), and we saw sabine schmidt.

she was getting filmed for some cheezy german show lol

Had a real good time in amsterdam, the night life was electric and 'red' :P

we also had a video camcorder so once that has been downloaded we'll get a nice wee you tube link.

amsterdam was only for the one night so we could catch our ferry to Newcastle the next day.

the ferry was and all night ferry and by god it was a good laugh, plenty of talent on it

and also plenty of booze

once we arrived on wednesday morning in Newcastle Upon Tyne i decided to give my friend George a small visit at his work

the next destination... Blackpool

got to blackpool and just spent the whole day on the pleasure beach turning our stomaches upside down lol.

got booked into the hotel and decided to chill out in the Jacuzzi and pool for a while before getting ready then heading off to the Casino to throw some money away

weather has been amazing for the past week, we were walking about in amsterdam in about 20-21oC but when we get to the point we are heading home.... absolutely bucketing it down

but anyways, safe and sound back home looking through all the pics etc and sharing it with you all.

and the total on the clock in the car was..... 1642 miles :)

Woop woop,

look forward to next years festivities :)

I loved the fact that there were guys in big posh ferrari's and lambos and still people were looking at my car and taking pictures lol :)

on the straigh i took it up to 110mph, don't go any faster than that due to the kit on the car.

I'm using a Nikon D40X DSLR with wide angled 0-55mm lense and a 55-200mm lense.

If anyone particularly likes an of the pics i have them all high rez and will pass them on at no charge :)
