Overdue Nurburgring Pics (56k - Get Broadband)
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2008 1:13 pm
I did resize the pics but only 2 are at 800x600 on my screen, apologies if it hasn't done what I wanted 
Went there last August but never got round to posting pics, then I found the card out the other day and thought I'd post them up.
There isnt many because the battery ran out.
I had the joy of driving this mean machine
We stayed at The Ringhaus "Altes Forsthaus St. Hubertus" which is the closest hotel to the Nordschleife entrance and a very nice laid back place to stay. We didnt have any money on us when we arrived to which they said, dont worry, sit down have a drink and just pay us before you leave!
View from the outside
One of the door to the room (they all have the plaque's on the doors with the room names in the middle, all of which are parts of the track)
Then we set off for the ring and the first car we saw when we came out of the hotel was this rather nice UK plated Porsche Carrera GT parked up the road, it was rude not to go and have a closer look
Mmmmm ceramic brakes
We then took the 200 yard walk to the Nordschleife entrance, which if you are into your cars is an amazing place! Its hard to explain what it's like being there to be honest.
Now onto the rest of the pics
A lovely looking White Porsche GT3 RS
Ferrari F430 Spider
Ferrari Challenge Stradale
A VERY nice Black 599 GTB Fiorano
What an interior!!
The Zakspeed Vipers about to take people for a lap of the ring (costs more than the Ring Taxi but obviously only carries 1 passenger)
A few of the many bikers that were there
A very nice GSX-R 600 with Yoshimura race can
Couple of Audi R8s
This one parked up
and this one that'd just came in and stopped for people to take pics
Last but by no means least, the car I actually went there for
The 5.0 V10 BMW M5 Ring Taxi, awesome car with awesome performance for it's size. Unfortunately that wasn't the one waiting for me, I had to stand watching people set off in it for a few hours before it was my go
