I'm committed on April 2nd, doing a train journey up to T'norf and back, any other dates, count me (and possibly Tris) in.

Ben 30!!!! You think that's bad, I'm off to my pals 60th on Saturday

Oh! Cr4p. My wife has just reminded me that we're booking a week in Morocco at Easter with friends, hopefully it'll happen on the second week of the school holls

You better not be thinking of going without me.......

Put me down for a double room if available, though it will be just for me.

Plus what dates? 16th April as Darren thought?

Can't commit just yet I'm afraid but I can sort my last minute accommodation etc out myself. Need to see if I can find a good M5 first.

Who wants to commit?

This this is the best route
Mike - a couple of (probably dumb) questions

1- which hotel is it (can't find this in the thread) - is it this one?:
http://www.motorsporthotel.de/eng/html/index.php. I used this on my first trip over in '09, and it was very good.
2- which ferry route/timings were you looking at? (out 15th pm, back 17th evening?)

Without thread drifting to much, its because I need the funds for my new business. To be honest, making enough money back to buy an M5 by April is fairly optimistic but not unrealistic. I thought I'd try one out as I don't want to splash out 15k for a good RS 6 just yet and have experienced the D2 fully now, I'd only ever buy James's because it looks so damn fine or an Adrian/Reffros if it were another D2.

Sorry, back on topic guys.
