:happy: I was just at the Ring on the 11th and had a blast around the Nordschleife. I wasn't there with my car, so no driving for me... but the lady who did made it one fun ride! :icecream:
I think I'm in love with 20832 meters of racetrack! :wub:
Can't wait to go back...

We were going to do it on our holiday but the cars weren't ready in time so we'll be going probably next year now.
We live in a world so scared of upsetting others feelings that the idiots are allowed to rule. Goodbye intelligence.

Hi All,

Im pleased to find this thread. Im travelling to Europe from Australia next year and I think ive convinced my T4 friend to come along. A pretty scary undertaking for me, so I can only imagine what its like for him, having not travelled a huge amount.

But ive never found a challenge I couldnt have a go at so far. Im thinking the key to this is planning.

Ive travelled through europe a fair bit but have never approached it with a wheelchair in mind before.

The idea is to dump the family for a week or so and us boys to fo off on a road trip to take in, amongst other things, Maranello, Monza, Some of the mountain passes (Stelvio maybe), Spa and the Nordschleife. The Latter of course being the main motivation for the trip and somewhat of a dream of ours.

Honestly I had never thought of trying to source a rental with hand controls over there. Where would I start for that? Previously Ive driven the circuit in a Pug 407, and a Ford Focus (diesel) with 5 people in it and luggage careening around the boot :o)

Do you guys have any idea where to start looking for accomodation, or any recomendations?

Any help would be appreciated.
