Ran up to the Ring today

mike11 · 12-28-2008, 12:48 PM

Most of the track was dry, but some of the shaded parts were just too icy...23 F. Actually had more fun playing with a Z4M on the way up...

Also saw a really cool TVR, check out the pic...had a really aggressive sound to it.

interesting. Even a guy in a small Four door/hatch wants to be on the track.

I was just up in Spang a week ago. I think I'd be too chicken to drive really hard on the ring with my car in the winter.

well that 4 door hatch looks like an rs6 and it'll give any m3 a run for their money

How long are you in Germany for? I'm due to go to the NCO Acadamy in September and I'm planning on driving my M down. Would be a opportunity for a meet and Some Kostrizer beer!

Lucky! I would love to go to the Nurburgring and drive around
