Maybe pick a date now that everyone can attend and pay a deposit to Rashman or whoever. Surely if we pick a date well ahead for the summer we will all be able to work round it, just my thoughts..........

Hey Sean
I'm easy really, so I am happy to go with the flow.
What is Sinsheim, by the way?
lol...whoa..whoa... I'm not sure if I'm up to organising this
I've not been before and I don't know much about the hotels over there - although Sean has mentioned the Stuttgart Hotel, presumably from a previous experience.
I don't mind where we stay but it has to be safe for the cars and have ample private parking. I would prefer if the hotel was in a quiet area and not on a main road, for example.
I only say this because I was checking out some of the hotels in the surrounding areas and some of them were on main roads.

Sinshein is pretty cool, it's a aircraft and car museum .. it has a Concorde as well as the Russian equivalent, and lots of different types of old cars.
I stayed in a cheap hotel with underground parking ... can't remember which one at the moment
Another thing I wondered about for the trip down and back, was quality fuel.
Like alot/ most of you, I don't want to be putting any 'ol pi$$ in the fuel tank
Is there decent food for our AMG's to be had on the way?
Was that the place that had the super clean underground parking area that your CLS was in? (I saw your picture from your write-up).
If so... I likey!!![]()
loads of Shell stations on the way .. and if not Shell, other brands you have heard of.
that was the Porsche Museum![]()

You're going to Germany, not the back end of Mongilia.
I hear Rashman only fills up 30l a time![]()
These cars can guzzle a frightening amount of fuel if you let them![]()

Oh, yes. I forgot, you can only go about 200 miles on a tank...Its a 1100 mile return journey give or take so most will need to stop 3 times for fuel.
