I'm heady back over to Europe for a month of VW action.

Seeking any advice on heading to Wolfsburg and Stuggart for the VW and Porsche Museums.

I understand you can just rock up to the Nurburgring in your hire car, pay the toll and go? How much is it?

Anyone been to Spa?

How about Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World and the F1 track.

I have found a place in germany that hires Sirocco R's but does anyone know of other exotic hire car companies in europe?
I need to break my Autobahn record! :-)

Also taking estimates on beetle's top speeds when we do the Elvington Mile? I've got 450hp to play with?

Any tips appreciated.

Hi Ron,

the only advice I can give you is to bring back some nice EFI turbo stuff for me and that will make me happy 😁😁😁😁

Good luck and be careful flying around Nurburgring.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

I've been to Ferrari world. It's a decent theme park and worth going if you're in Dubai, but not worth a special trip there for it in my opinion. If your flight has a stopover in Dubai and you want to take a day for Ferrari world you could do it. I'm not sure how easy it is to get to Abu Dhabi on public transport though, I went in a car. It's about an hour's drive or so, you want to get in early in the morning to avoid the queues for the rides. Be warned that most of them are video-based though! There's two good rollercoasters, a 'giant drop' style ride and a water raft/flume ride, the rest are all basically videos with moving seats.

No worries Kev, i'll stop by and grab your credit card first though :-)

Thanks waveman, it is a stop over. I'll just grab a cab to Yas Marina.

Baz, I intend to drop Richards name with Fred and hopefully score some laps in the taxi.

I've just found out there is no track time availabe when i'm in Abu Dhabi so it looks like I wont be smashing he F1 track in an Aston Martin GT4....Spewing!
