      Nurburgring

      Will guys and gals, I've been to Nurburgring for the first time and did eight laps on the Nordschleife with my BMW 540i wagon (my Chevelle isnt ready just yet :o( ) it was just plain amazing and great fun.
      Everything can be driven there as long as its titled, this because basicly the track is German public toll road (luckily one way) without speed limits
      I got passed by a a bike on one wheel while I was doing like 110 but you can see just about everything out there from the wildest porsches to buses.

      This should be tryed at least once in lifetime.

      Awesome Dude !
      I have really become a fan of the European Road Racing
      and Grand Prix Racing. I'd love to see Nurburgring and Le mans.

      If its an e46 I'd keep it...
      one summer you could ship it over, travel trough europe in it (autobahn, no speed limits) and take it to the ring as well.
      the ring is 22,8km (14miles) of fun.
      good food, wine and beers are also available :o)
      Have Fun!

      Yup, Navy, stationed in Naples. Been here 2 years and still not made it it to Germany with the car. Spend most of my time trying not to do this with the way they drive here...

      I have driven the 'Ring 100's of times with my two Pro-touring '69 'Maros...(on GT4 for PSII, that is)
