[White Lightning]

No worries Brendan, glad you enjoyed it and it was great to finally meet you properly

And you didn't annoy me at all mate ... I was probably just having to concentrate a little more than usual having to use a clutch and all that

[miller]

Glad ya back home in one piece. Now go enjoy those beers! #

Hows Edgeworthstown these days?

[Spirit]

Glad to hear you're home safe Brendan......good to meet you properly too mate, and that you had such a good time

Guys, those staying in the Grune Holle do you remember that black supercar bombing round outside our hotel? We were in arguments as to its origins?

Well here it is, new Lexus!!!!

Looks just like a GT-R to me....seems the supercars are going to all look the same soon, just like all the normal road cars. Makes me glad to have somethign with some old fashioned individuality.

and its near identical to the new NSX being released next year

We were following that for a while when we arrived at Nurburg ... at a T-junction it turned right and we turned left and it went like a rocket!

Good find Mike

Ooh the Lexus LFA - £250k of pumping Toyota

Finally comes out next year and it must be good cos the chief test driver is buying two !!!

Hats off to Lexus if they think they can flog a Ferrari rival for more money - no doubt the yanks will snatch it up.

Saying it looks like the GTR is such an insult - like saying the VR4 looks like a Stagea

That's one of the 'side effects' of going to the Ring you get to see a fair few development cars.

Okay folks heres the maths and costs breakdown for me

The total trip cost me £86.30 per lap of the ring all inclusive.

I managed an average of 22.67mpg to and from the ring. Acceptable as i spent a bit porshe hunting on the Autobahns

I managed an average of 5.78mpg on the ring. 117.88 litres of fuel per 12 laps . (roughly)

I drove a total of 1285miles, of which 150miles were on the Nordshleife!


So i can conclude, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, ate steaks every night, wasnt overly cost conscious, one BIG night on the beer (75% cost not included in my sums), andrenaline pumping driving....banter.....manouveres.......

its



PRICELESS

Just plan to go for Easter w/e

And track open for most if not all four days - a great w/e, usually...
