Pier pressure!
I was egged on by a certain fellow northern orange Porsche driver.

( sits back and waits for claims for industrial deafness. Is there a lawyer in the house ? Sladey ? )

[Johnny Graham]

Well, just an unbeatable trip, thanks so much to the usual suspects..the right crowd with the right cars.
(Russ, hope you didnt need the fire service to extract you from t'Porsche when you got back... )

I'll have to wait for my wing-man to add his photos, but for now, some from the resident snappers -thankfully a failed gearshift bushing didnt hold the little yellow monster back...


and the flying fourteen looking planted...


but there's always some muppet who insists on going 'round in his daily hack ...

As above, a great trip and thanks to everyone involved.

Here is a quick photo log of the highlights of a lap of the ring with me at the wheel :

140mph through Schwedenkreuz :



Sideways round Bergwerk :



Flat through Pflanzgarten :



Being overtaken by an Astra, more than likely a 1.7 diesel :

I'll move this out of members and pop it in past events now?

It’s the people that make weekends like this & that’s the great thing about DDK, always a great mix of like minded people enjoying themselves

Myself & Jo had a fantastic time.

A few photos from me

Our accommodation by the Castle






Is it real ?

I would like to say a massive thank you to James and Brian for the organisation it was faultless!! Also thanks to everyone else on the trip for making me so welcome just a great group of people!! What a trip hard to sum up in a few words just amazing!!

I think my belly has recovered from all the laughter or was it the "Jonnie Walker?" My ears may take a little longer from the tunel and Russ's exhaust (hope your back is ok Russ?)

Finaly to answer the "is it real" question .......... no is the answer but it was a very nice car

Fantastic weekend !
Thanks to James and Brian for the sterling job of putting this together .
And the good folks of the DDK for a brilliant time .
Just a few random shots from me .....









































( And thanks to everyone who's asked about my back problem I picked up on the way home . I've managed to slip a couple of discs and trap some nerves so I think that's me done with driving for a while .)

Cheers....

[Bootsy]

Some great shots Russ, sorry to hear about the back.

Do us a favour and burn a disc with the originals and pop them in the post.

Cheers

[rvzz]

Will do Tom ,
Pm me your address will you .
Thanks

Hope you get well Russ - less than ideal.

James & Brian - thanks so much for organising. Everyone else, great meeting you - it was a cracking weekend away (tho quieter for me than some as jet lag prevented too much late night shenanigans). The driving through the eiffels was sensational, Spa a cracker, and the laps of the 'ring a lot better than I expected. Nice to meet you all, and see you at the next one!

Cheers, Hamish

Not so much 'Reservoir Dogs' as 'Fish Pond Poodles'

Not so much 'Reservoir Dogs' as 'Fish Pond Poodles'

Not sure what you mean, I think my chosen stance is very macho.

Thanks to all for a fantastic weekend. I just love DDK for the cars, what it stands for, the craic and above all the people..

As many of the ET folks know I am still 'over the sea' as I decided to extend my stay and go down to Alsace, France.

I have many pics of the weekend to post, which I shall do after I get home and I have had time to go through them all.

I the meantime, a pic from today - it's quite incredible after 'degustation et vente' how many bottles of wine you can fit into a 911,

There are some great roads down here - I think we should all come ....especially when there is a big chance that your car will match the houses!!

Fantastic, enjoy the rest of your trip.
