Well I love the Nurburging - I've been on it in 2 different MX-5s. and done 4 laps of it in the S2k and intend to go again! The big shopping centre was fun to visit as well.

There are nutters who drive on it but the idea is to drive safely on it yourself and keep out of the way of the idiots! Everyone to their own opinion on this forum as in life - I LIKE THE RING. Those who have not driven it don't know what they are missing!

I've got a Ring sticker on each of my cars, and I have a toaster which 'burns' the shape of the Ring on the bread!

If I'm sad, I'm quite happy to be!

Chr ist Alf ucking Mi ghtee - can you just imagine what that would be like?

20mph speed limits on the Nordschliefe, road tits elsewhere, surface dressing and a set of temporary traffic lights there permanently.

The residents would complain about the noise, there's be an equal opportunties programme for Hyundai Accent owners, it'd be relocated into the centre of London, would lose money and be run by f ucking Swampy with a c unting Bus Lane on Sundays...

I admit I have been wearing my Nürburgring coat quite a bit through the cold snap. But at least I haven't bought the toaster.

That's a bit optimistic, it'd be a shopping centre/industrial estate if it were here. Filed under Brooklands.
