Re: Going 'Ring tomorrow
I was in Nurburg on that day, got there late PM on way back from Switzerland, spectated at Pflanzgarten then off to Pinocchios for a stupid big pizza and frustratingly tiny beer (driving). It was a lovely evening and some serious mental driving, there was a BMW club doing some full on laps and a fantastic sounding 996 GT3 RS - love the way the cars lift on the hump there - always remember that you are grateful for the steering feeling normal again before the right hander!
What time did you leave DK? I got there at 6pm ish
Also that day was the day a UK press contingent were heading back to UK in new RS4s collected from quattro GmbH, did you see any at Chunnel? One was driven by (yes, the!) Sue Barker .
It was the Blancpain Endurance series that weekend so pity you couldn't spend longer.
If I could live there I think I would and only a small bit of that is for the track itself.
Cheap beer
Cheap big pizzas
Lots of cycling
Lots of hiking
Nice views
Nice people
Derestricted Autobahn on door step
Fast car overload

This isn't helping my need to stay with a sensible motor for another year.

There is a few engines forsale on pistonheads for £300.

Worn piston ring, blowing oil out of the breather pipe and into catch tank.
While pistons are out im thinking of upgrading to stronger pistons and rings, poss stringer springs, valves etc
