Mmmm Sabine, almost my perfect woman!

Only spotted 2 Scoobs in the Nurburgring bit, a silver classic wagon and a DBM classic saloon near the end. Anyone on here?

How much does it cost to go round the ring? No doubt far cheaper than our tracks

I've been meaning to ask this, but in the past6 or 7 show has anyone noticed that the doors on the one side of the Suzuki Leana are a different shade of grey?

Who resprayed them? and more importantly - who dented/scratched them?
