Welcome! I'm surprised no one has asked yet, have you had it around the ring?

No, I hadn't. The Nürburgring is a very challenging race track. When you'll
want to do racing at the ring you'll need a carefully arranged modified car.

But this modified car would be a racer and not longer a good all day driver for cruising or driving highspeed 280/290 km/h at the autobahn on a longer distance.
When you'll want to start weekend racing at the ring, take a second car as a ring tool

, but I don't want to spend my vette on than

.
I have done some really excellent mods for example at the suspension ( from FE1 upgrade to 2004 FE4 C5Z06C5) and a few other functional modifications, but not enough for the ring.

In past days I were from time to time at the ring with a bike or a BMW 2002 (like the one on the pix)

Oh...and we can't get good Greek food here either.

I used to be stationed at Ray Barracks also 95-99. Check out Roadking1970 on YouTube, and it will bring back memories of Ray Barracks.
