Nürburgring pics, April 2008

[Alex]

Here are a few of my pics from the weekend. A few, meaning quite a few.

I've stuffed some in from the road trip so it isn't all track photos.

Our convoy was four MX-5s and two Polos, so any pics of Polos and MX-5s are cars I went out with.

Polos on the ferry.


My car takes Super Unleaded, but this is my fuel.


The Burgstube hotel, where I stayed.


PICS FROM BERGWERK


The first of many drifting M3s seen on the weekend. Such a good sight! Yes that's a CSL, it's just been sprayed white.




Scary stuff.






This was taken on Sunday. We saw it understeer onto the grass at Adenauer Forst on Monday, then heard it bounce off the armco a bit further down the track. Expensive.


















Suzuki SJ off-road course. If you go, do this. It's ace.


Stripped Mk2 with Mk3 GT engine going through Hatzenbach


PICS TAKEN AT ADENAUER FORST


















Our convoy. All MX-5s and Polos!

Good pics there mate! How did the G do around the track?

[Alex]

It was a little treacherous in the wet, to say the least. Hence only getting a few laps in.

[Dougy]

Well i'll hand it to you going out in the wet was very brave.

Really cool pics hope its nice when we go this year

Hoping to try and take some pics from the Karosel sp*

When are you going next? I'm probably heading out again in August.

[Dougy]

Think were going same time as last year prob June/July

Hope weather is better but thing is you go round a corner and it could be snow go round another and you'll be getting sun stroke

[Alex]

Yeah that happened to my mate with the red MX-5 on green wheels. He left the toll booths and it was dry and sunny, got to Hocheichen and as he came around the corner the track ahead was covered in snow. Crazy stuff.
