Just had a call from the boys in Germany to say all is well, apart from being chased with knives, rear exhaust box falling off and dragging along the ground, simon 13 causing a mega tail back doing his policeman impression bringing the motorway to an almost stop and mr everett having a front head on with a CAT. and that is doing well ? wish i was there.

where in germany did you go ?

Post Tue Apr 04, 2006 9:53 pm

yup a noble was totalled 3800 euro fine to repair the armco. Black 355 i think. Numerous 911's. R32 golf front wheels pointing opposite ways

There was a big 6 car pile up too

The track had mud everywhere, on most of the fun corners.

Sport handled itself very well i was surprised somewhat. Had andy everett going on the foxhole bit! He filmed a lap of mine too.

Dave was sidways around the whole GP circut and the ring, he even overtook a 911 drifting! The man is a class act behind the wheel

Drifting at 105mph on purpose is scary i tell thee!

Bloody hell!

Never understand why people are always so afraid of the foxhole, should be flat through the compresion in most cars unless your suspension is screwed/shite or you're approaching GT3 speeds
Obviously you dont atempt to go flat 1st time, but build up over a few laps

Mind you if anything does go wrong there then you're screwed! I've got pics somewhere of the fireball from when the ring taxi crashed there (broken suspension I think) and hopped the armco into the trees!
