Ignore the kids...nasty little ankle biters. The Summer toboggan run, though maybe not the one in the video, it was shown as a hint of something to do on the Saturday while we wait for the evening.

I have a mate from Germany riding over on the day to to meet me, he suggested there is one in Adenau.

I've done that the last time 15 years ago there.
But I'd do it again ;-)

See you soon

Well here we are doing what you all want to do. Sat, looking at the Ring as the sun goes down drinking beer and talking absolute b@llox. It's Ben's birthday and the German Policeman Gay stripper has allowed him to see his truncheon.

We spent a while watching the Dutch Ferrari owners club drive carefully around the ring so that the bugs didn't splat on their windscreens to noisily.

Darren and Reffro did 130 (KPH of course..........you believe that you belive anything) chasing a Ford Focus and couldn't catch it. I did a lot of MPH trying to catch it and nearly mated with Refro's S8. A scary thought and moment I don't want to try again.

A bit of video of the wannabe Ferrari race drivers........... More tomorrow.
