Dude there is some kind of SOFA agreement that hasent been updated in a long time from what I have heard. Anyway I think the car has to be older then a 73 or something like that to get shipped there. Other then that its on your own dime. So Park your car and get a skyline! Cheap and a dime a dozen.

Hey most autobahn roads in Germany have no speed limit. When you see the white circle sign with two lines in it, that mean unlimited speed. However, be very causious, there will be times when you will have to decrease to 130 without warning. Then 100 then back to unlimited. Not too good for gas milage. O yea, that's Ks by the way. Also, watch your back, they will be coming!
I need to get to Nurburgring too.

. I am going to be in the UK for 2 yrs so I will have another chance.

The trick getting past the DB level is don't be a obnoxious american. 
Seriously....when you pull up to the gate and insert your ticket the Po-Po are already there looking but not like that. As long as you don't rev it at the gate you'll be fine. Once on the track you can wail all you like until you get to the end and then you have to be quiet again. That's it. I've got a 396 w/ LT's no cats and she's beyond loud and I never get hassled.
