I'm off to the Nurburgring Historics

[Gordon]

This will be a cool trip, we're stopping off in a small village in the Mosel Valley for a wine run on our way to the ring. I'm going to the ring with a fellow E30 owner from the bay area. Imran works for MB in San Jose and is on temporary assignment to the Mercedes plant here in Sindelfingen. I'll take lots of pics and have a report next week. Meanwhile it's Sommerfest here in Stuttgart

http://www.sommerfest-stuttgart.de/ I've come to the conclusion that Germans will make any excuse to throw a party/festival. I'll just hop on the U-Bahn and make my way to the fest after work.

that sounds like fun! Yes, take lots of pictures of cars, and other things...

[Grover]

Excellent!!! Are you going to have a chance to get on the track yourself? I've heard the "Ring Taxi" that BMW runs in M5's is a blast but booked up several months in advance. Have a great time.

Where on the Mosel are you staying? That's a great area to hang.

Wow, that sounds like fun. My parents have been to that area. My Dad apparently is a fan of the Autobahn/rental car combo.

Post some pics when you have a chance. I'll be the cars are cool, but it will probably be all about the atmosphere.

The questions is......Is Nurburgring ready for the G-man?

I hope you have a great time and are able to get onto the Ring, either with Sabina's ?Taxi, or in your own car. My friend is writing an article for Bimmer mag about his journey to the Ring, and on it. My dream is to take my 2002 to the Ring. Crazy- ya probably, but it is possible. All it takes is for the Euro to take a precipitous slide down, and a lot of time, and prep.

Back in the 60's I drove my '58 VW around the track,  I think it cost us 3mark (.75 cents) to take a lap.
