What do you guys think? The weather could really suck or it could be ok....I'm game for meeting you and Dack and Oli up there.. So, even though two of my buddies dropped...I'm going.

Leaving HD about 0800, should be in K-town about 0845...Nurburgring about 1030-1100 pm.

Driving a LeMans Blue 135.

I'm still going! Oli can not make it. So I will drive alone up there. I should be there around 11am or so. I'll give Rick a call when I am near the 'RingWerk.

I will post mine soon. It was kind of a washout because we had some serious FOG. We could not drive the 'Ring so we just dd the museum thing. The weird thing was there was like no fog until you got near the 'Ring! Like the last six kilometers... then it just got soo bad you really could not see more than 20 meters.

Back to the States. My time is running out here and I didn't extend. I miss the States too much.

‘Ring trip v2.0

Ok, sorry for my delay in posting these pics. Its been a busy two weeks for me. So here goes…

The closer I got to the ‘Ring the worse the fog got. It was a miserable day at the ‘Ring. Dam cold (+3’C ) and VERY foggy!

Nice curvy roads of the Eifel region…


You know you are on a good twisty road when they have extra guard rails for the bikers WHEN they fall off their bikes! (see lower railing!)



As I got closer and closer to the ‘Ring, this is what greeted me!





And a little pose next to the Frozen Grey M3…


Rikx135 (Rick), Dackelone (me), and Sylon (Allan)


And… Rikx ingenuous in-car hidden ‘Ring camera!

The camera/recorder…

Sound…

Lipstick camera… (OE grill modified & painted black to match performance grill on left)



I posting the rest of my photos on my previous ‘Ring writeup Grüne Hölle Musuem und Ring.... here…

Just some things I picked up in my travels

the camera is a VOI POV camera with the head velcroed into my formerly chrome grills that I painted black for camo and cut a slot in the inboard slat. The mike is a Zoom H4N, as you can see, already damaged but still records like a champ. All that effort and defeated by the fog. Hopefully I can try again before the year is out since I have a 75 euro card itching a hole in my pocket.

Hey Rick,

Well... let us all know when you think you might go back to the 'Ring. I might just meet you up there. I want to try and go again too. Maybe durring a weekday so I can get to see some protypes driving around.
