  • Cf Mosel Valley Tour

    just got back at 9pm this evening, we covered a sunny 1100 miles over the weekend, it was very hot down there, bloody lovelly!! hotel was nice and the bar did a good job of sorting us with 'gross biere bitter' till way past the small hours.

    50+ cars and old faces as well as new. had a good time up until we all decided to hit the nurburgring sunday lunchtime!!

    it was soo hectic, me and my missus only managed part of one lap, as unfortunately my brakes let go!! which is frightening when you are taking a steep downhill left hand bend, on a track you dont know, will zillions of mental bikers and track day fans, with yer mate a few car lengths ahead, the pedal went hard with the conclusion that i had glazed my pads badly, i guess the old solid disc/mintex combo just aint upto much.

    needless to say for the last 500 miles i have had virtually no brakes, so will have to address this before the lakes.

















    just a few pics to give you a taste, get next years trip booked!!

                It really was one fantastic tour......especially the Ring. As well as Lee's brake problems,, I boiled my brake fluid on the track so needs the fluid replacing now.

                In all, 1600 miles of driving through 6 countries, get as far as Birmingham and my alternator packed up again (yes the new one I had in Ireland last year when that packed up as well ! ). Got a piggy-back home !

                More pics tonight hopefully and maybe a video of the track if I can fathom out how to work my mates camera.

                    It appears my mate gave me the wrong lead to download to the PC. There will be a delay I'm afraid.

                        Stu
                        I've just had this sent to me. It now appears on a German photographers web-site.
                        The car now looks different now. It has a Nürburgring sticker in the top corner
