Chris Harden Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Car Pass / Club Stand Sorted! I have been speaking to the organisers at Opel-Treffen Oschersleben about our trip for 2014. We have been allocated a club stand, but the location is not known yet. I will find out closer to March 2014 when things are finalised by the organisers. The club stand is better suited to us as a group, instead of the first come-first served camping pitches. So we have a definite place to be, hopefully quite central to the heart of party area again. IF you are wanting to make the trip over for this year, I’ll need some money off you to book a car pass. The price of a Club Stand Car Pass is £14.50. This is for the CAR ONLY. The Deadline for payment is the end of February 2014! ALL Payments WILL be sent 1st of March 2014! So I need your car pass payment as soon as you can. If you are coming, but holding off until later to pay, let me know, so I know what car pass payments to expect and when. You can send the car pass payment to me via Paypal at: chrisharden@hotmail.co.uk You can send it as a gift if you want (No Paypal Fees), OR you can send it as anything else, goods/services (But you will need to pay the fees so I receive the £14.50) The car passes will arrive with me around 2 weeks before the show. So I can either post to you, or meet you en-route or at Oschersleben and give you your car pass. It’s whatever works best for you. CAMPING COSTS AT THE SHOW. A camping fee for ALL people in the car is €10 per person per night. (€40 for the 4 nights we are there. Wednesday - Sunday) This is payable on the main gates when we arrive on the Wednesday morning of the show. Any other questions, post them up and I’ll answer them for you.

Later in the afternoon we head out onto the Nordschleife itself for a couple of laps, or as many as you want to run. See Below for the track openeing times for the days we are there. At the Nurburgring, we stay at the same great little B&B we stayed at in 2011 & 2012 & 2013!.

Please email Frank: hohe-acht@gmx.de The 2013 prices were: Single Room - 45 euro per person per night. Double room - 35 euro per person per night, so MAY go up slightly for 2014 So you are looking around 70 - 90ish Euro (Per Person) for the 2 nights we are there. The booking reference is: "Chris Harden 1st-3rd June 2014" Please e-mail him with what type of room you require (Twin/Double/Single).

robah Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Already planning for next year, we had a fantastic time with fantastic people. Opel-Treffen makes Billing seem like Blackpool compared to Florida Universal Studios. Cheers Chris for introducing us to a great event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANTAMAN Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I wouid so love to go to this show, i will have to get my act together next year. One car in the photo's is a mystery, the Corsa B ESTATE !! How the F... have they done that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEIL W Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The Corsa Estate was if I remember rightly was built in Brazil & sold in Mainland Europe but not UK. Mainly in Italy & Eastern Europe. Also built in India as RHD. A bit like today where cheap RHD cars on the UK Market are built i.e. Certain Dacia models. They also built a pick up Corsa in South Africa & a 4 door saloon in Brazil. http://car-archives-india.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/opel-corsa-swing.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
