Nurburgring green scirrocco

 I would really like to have been in the meeting when the Volkswagen guys decided not to bring the Scirocco to the U.S. Then I could have kicked someone in the balls.

 What the hell is…

 Oh. Naturally…

 

Nurburgring Douchejag

 Ok, that does it. Flat black is officially not cool any more. This douchebag ruined it.

  

Nurburgring GTR Douchebag

 ”Hey Sven, what are you gonna do ot that new GT-R of yours?”

“I don’t know, it’s nearly perfect. I think all it needs is some stickers so people know what it is. Otherwise they might think its a Maxima.”

“Oh, and some more stickers on the back, so they know where the tailpipes would be if I was in charge of the world.”

“Yea, that’ll look great.”

 

 

Nurburgring Fiesta RS

I don’t know if a Fiesta ST is just stickers and trinkets, or if its a real car with real, meaningful performance. I know what I hope, though.

  

  

Nurburgring Lotus Elan

Lotus’ failures are almost as entertaining as their successes. 

 

Nurburgring Volkswagen Polo

I don’t know why, but I loved this little Volkswagen Polo race car. It has all the simplicity of a MKI Rabbit with better proportions.

 

Nurburgring Tow Truck

The tow trucks are always busy at the Nurburging. Craneing the cars, by the wheels, onto a flatbed seems to be the technique of choice. Its very entertaining to watch.

it takes a lot to stand out in the parking lot at the ‘Ring. A KTM X-bow is a good start, though.

Nurburgring worst restaurant in Germany

There is a resaurant temptingly close to the track entrance, located right in the main parking lot, and conveniently close to the only public restrooms. It is tempting to eat there so you don’t have to leave the festival of exotic iron. Take my advice and don’t do it. We had absolutely the worst hamburger in the history of cows here. Drive 5 minutes into Nurburg and eat something else.

 

Nurburgring Camaro

Bitchin.

 

Nurburgring beer or coke

The Coke on the left was $5. The beer on the right was $2. That’s about all you need to know about Germany.
