Russ

Yes the video worked, I just need to sit and go through it and pick out the best bits, even when I overtook you and sleeping beauty

Thanks for this Johnny - I'd no idea they did this - I've ordered my snap

When you look around , Mark, there's loads of snappers out there that post and sell threir photos. I've seen your car on two or three now, Andrew's 914 also. Strangely, very few others, and not found mine yet . That is the best one of yours, on the carousel.

Interesting. I've ordered the digital version of mine - not come through yet though. it's been 3 hours - what are they playing at!! - Don't they know I have a desktop background to fill?

Not long after....


It just came off in my hand......honest!

Oh dear!

I like this great piece of detective work quoted in the article......

"Police are still investigating, but cite "excessive speed" as the cause."

Really! Must have taken some serious investigation to come to that conclusion!

Is that a Ring Taxi in the barrier!?!


Wonder if this was last Sunday...
I was stood at Pflanzgarten with Vicky and Danny, we saw a couple of Ambulances and Police cars go through around 11:30.

Hope everyone was ok, but it looks like a pricey coming together!

Yes, ring taxi was 8th on the scene, and failed to stop (According to one of the reports)
We were warned to keep well out of the way of the ring taxi's weren't we !! (Amongst just about everything else!!)
£130k bill for someone !! Ouch !

I would like to see the corvette driver explain it to the hire company

Wow, that's not a pretty sight, and not a common one by the looks of how it has hit the online motoring media, or from what I have seen. With lots of cars involved I mean (and the taxi involved too, that surely is pretty rare, especially considering how many laps it makes at full schnell).

Presumably the chat from the chap at the pension included advice against hurling yourself fully committed around blind corners on the world's most confusing track in a plastic sports car with elleventy billion horsepowers?...If Clarkson can do it then its safe, right? But anyway..

I hope this sort of thing isnt going to get more common as the place gets ever more popular - a few more of these big incidents will force change I reckon. The days of me sitting my son down on my knee and telling him about the mythical free-for-alls at the Nurburgring are getting closer.

Edit: And another thing..what's with the frigging roadworks truck, on one of the worst corners, on one of the busiest days, all about? Sheesh!

A few highlights from me - tried not to replicate too many - cracking weekend





































This apparently is included in the package when you buy a new Golf....
