I did this back in 2007. Would love to go again, so I'll keep an eye on this thread. But cannot commit to anything yet.

That's great.
No commitment at this time, just gathering possible numbers of attendees and a little information to wet the appetite.

Ah forget the ford fair, this one lasts longer, plus the Nurburg will be more fun in itself.
 
Yea, i kind of already paid for the hotel, boat, and entrey to ford fair already.. + i promiced my wife we would stay a few days extra in London afterwards.... :)
 
Harwich to Hook of Holland is another idea for the ferry, I always use it when I take my bike to Assen MotoGP
 
Ball bags, that's a week before I get married, I so want to go too! Looks like it would be awesome fun :(
 
Generic Travel information altered

Nurburgring trips, I do have details on how that would work the best.
Those looking for that information can enquire to myself.
Please bear in mind you will require to add an extra day on the continent to facilitate that addition.
 
Only 16 days to go.

Can we welcome you?

I really wanted to get to this but have had a load of work dumped on me. probably not a bad thing as I'm beginning to get a bit of a big end knock developing on the car. Cant complain though with 246k on the clock and the extra money from the extra work can go to getting a new engine.
