Jan 21st at 2:50 PM CST I will be departing the good ole USA for 3 years at Ramstein AFB in Germany. I am scheduled to land at 7:10 AM local German time on the 22nd at the Frankfurt Airport. I will not have a computer for 20 to 30 days after I get there, but will probably be able to access the site from work. Can't wait to get to meet the European membership.

See ya over there

hey guys how about we do an early wake up and welcome him at the airport?

 

[specialsymbol]

No problem for me- I can get to the airport, say hello, and get back into my bed within 1 1/2 hours :tongue:

What about you, Hans? :smirk:


What's so bad about Ramstein? The weather isn't worse than anywhere else, there are nice roads just around the corner- and Luxemburg, France and Hockenheim are just a hop away :waytogo:
And it's a nice region to go hiking I heard :smile:

 

[hell_devil]

forgetb the quick meet at the airport i have to work the 22nd

 

[specialsymbol]

Mhm.. :grin:

 

[redCBR]

Believe me it isn't the roads or weather. It is the base!

 

[specialsymbol]

:lol:

The only idea I have of US-Bases in germany I got from the movie "Buffalo Soldiers" :grin:
Looked like fun :smile:

Well damnit, we have been delayed by 1 week, instead of flying out on the 21st and landing the 22nd, we are flying out the 28th and landing the 29th. Apparently I need an "official" passport. No idea why my normal passport with the blue cover won't work, I have to have one with a red cover. I sent all the stuff off to get the official one, supposed to be expedited :rolling:

See you all on the 29th now.

Chris

i guess most people will be here
that day.

i was close to asking you if you wanna come there, but with these delays you´ll have plenty of other stuff to care about...

anyhow, have a decent flight

 

[specialsymbol]

It begins at 9am in Koblenz, we'd have to leave in Frankfurt airport at about 7:45-
leaving the 28th could mean 8am the 29th local time, so even though he hadn't started yet he'd be late by 15 minutes.

i guess it would be very tight, but the idea was good :crazy:

if he arrives before 8 local time, has nothing to do until late evening, got 110€ and isn't tired- i still have a seat free in the car.

 

[Autobahn]

Well the flight is supposed to land at 7:10 am local Frankfurt time on the morning of the 29th. I have been checking every day to see the average landing time and its usually around 20 minutes early at 6:50 am. BUT, I will have my wife and 2 dogs with me, and a person from the base is going to be there to pick us up, so even though I get in early enough I can't go. I wouldnt have a bike anyway, my scoot doesnt get to Germany until around mid March.

[specialsymbol]

you don't need a bike, the training is done on rental bikes. you only need 100€ for fees and rental, maybe 10-15€ for gear, 5€ each crash and a free place (shouldn't be a big problem).

we go there by car, i pick up some guys in frankfurt.

if you let your wife do some shopping in town she won't be finished by the time we return :grin:

Good timing - the Nuerburgring opens in March from what I remember. I'll be heading up on the first weekend it opens to grab a season card. You're in a great location - it's just around the corner for you, and the Hockenheimring is closeby as well.

 

[specialsymbol]

When Kristian says "great location" and "just around the corner" that means you're only 1 hour away if you blast along the highway going 260 like he does :crazy:

300km from the entrance to the ring to my doorstep in 2 hours isn't *that* bad!

 

[specialsymbol]

Considering the first 50kms from the ring go through backroads and villages.. :crazy:

Sure....for only 10 EUR per lap :wink:. No prob :grin:

The prices have gone up slightly for this year on both the Hockenheimring and Nuerburgring. 750 EUR for a season card is still pretty damn good though.

I know. I didn't want to imply you'd behave like a streethog- I wanted to point out there are still 250km left, and the first 50km you average maybe ..70? :wink: :grin:
