Sounds great all right, do you have a link for this course? I was hoping to try the '75 experience' before the end of the year for my first excursion on the ring but this sounds the business too.

Oh jeebuz... we are back. After missingthe boat on Friday and having to stay a night in Holyhead. There was a few problems on the way to Holyhead, one being a F360 and a S type crashed on the side of a motorway and then a oil spill on the M6 which caused a 20mile tailback.

€990 - driver training €500 - Dublin to Holyhead(depends on when you book) €600 (2 x €300) - 2 nights stay in London, to and from Germany (depends on where you stay) €170 - Folkstone to Calais (depends on when you book) €700 - Petrol (depends on what car you drive) €200 (4 x €50) - 4 nights stay in Germany (depends on where you stay) €1000 - Spending money, entertainment... I would say minumum €3000 for the trip, €4000 if you want to live it up. |

The places you can save on that are; Dublin/Holyhead. If I had booked the ferry when I booked the trip, it would have been €300, instead of the €500 it cost at the last moment. It gets even cheaper if you take the slow boat (3.5 hrs instead of 1.5hrs) London Accomodation. We were staying in the Hilton Waldorf. You can do much cheaper or do without staying in london at all. Entertainment entirely at your discretion! Dining at Christophers not to be advised!! mick |

Here now I don't think Christophers was the expensive entertainment, it was where we went after which would have caused the damage.

LOL
Fey the costs were per person!! On the petrol, he did say it depended on the car you drive :) I did 21mpg overall for 1800 miles and used approx 400 litres of fuel. Its about €1.60 a litre tho in the uk and €1.30-€1.40 in Europe. Smaller cars would obviously do better! mick |

I'd believe it alright Kin. But surely you'd have been faster/safer without them. Is it some sort of German fashion thing?

Lads Would you believe that Kin, despite not being a drinker at all, actually did the best out of the lot of us with the beer goggles on :) Oh and Killian, Kin managed to find the grass just fine without the goggles Mick |

It's to emulate driving drunk and to show you how much being drunk impacts you. Although, frankly if the world looked like that to me after 0.08mg, I wouldn't ever drink again!  |
