Hi,

I'm just putting together my track video's and pics to share on the forum. I was surprised I didn't see any english scoobies there and I knew a few from here and other forums were going to be there on the weekend.

How did you get on over the weekend and what did you think of it?

I thought it was awesome and managed a 10:10 - quite pleased with that for my first effort, standard performance / tyres etc. I did spend a bit upgrading my pads - well worth the money with no fade.

I've also found a couple of pictures of me on the track - worth checking to see if you are on there as well:

308_0222 - 17:20 to 16:10
308_8656 - 11:50-12:10
308_8494 - 11:35 - 11:50

My wife also had a go round the track

You spoke 2 me and my mate, saying do u want my space in the car park. He had a black saxo, my impreza was the silver 1 with gold alloys, standard suspension/brakes etc,

did a 8.45 on 1st lap, and diden't time my secend one. 9.49 on 3rd go but got held up by alot of traffic, and was not holding boost. Was a whole 40secends slower in the uphill stright section over my mates vts because of this. lol

ive got some pics of your car i think. will get them up soon

How's that for random? I know I walk around in a bit of a daze sometimes but that's funny. Thought I would pass the space on to a brit.

Very good times and I guess those weren't in the sprinter?
What spec / bhp scooby were you using to get that time and have you been there before? I'd love to get down towards those times next year although I don't think that car and I could go that fast.

10:10 is a good lap, she sounded nice

I only did 3 and 1/2 laps this time around.

Buying either a m3 e36 or civic ep3 for nurburg use next year.

Cheers for the Pic's and glad the car sounds good from the outside

I've always fancied an m3 myself and know the civics are fast and fun - let me know how you get on. I'm hoping to make this an annual trip.
