What a place! I would seriously recommend it to anyone who's interested in cars. I want to go and live there, it's amazing!  Got loads of pics, videos and even some on-track footage filmed by my co-pilot (girlfriend!) as I was driving the famous track ;D Once I get those hosted up I will post links, pics first though... I've shrunk these down to about 480pixels to save space. |

In case you are wondering who all the dodgy characters are with the Mk2 Golf's, that's the ClubGTI lot I went with...!  |

Great pics Stu   looks like the weather was a bit nasty, scary on some of those corners no doubt.  Did you take the car round the track - how did you get on? Now, most importantly, where have you put your 'Ring sticker? |

Yeah, did a few laps in the wet and one in the dry - was excellent! ;D 'Ring sticker is nicely located on the back of the car on the opposite side to where the GolfGTI 16v badge is... very tasteful! |

Lucky person to be able to do a few laps, the best place in the world for car loving freaks.
I went around as a passenger in an Audi RS4 with a driver who knew the place, awesome.
I want to take my Minor out there and do a few laps.
I like the way you buy a ticket from the machine and then put it in by the barrier, a bit like exiting a carpark!

'Ring sticker is nicely located on the back of the car on the opposite side to where the GolfGTI 16v badge is... very tasteful! Ha Ha, me & my mate were going to make Santa Pod car stickers - that just had a straight line. A kind of spoof of the 'Ring' stickers ;D  Anyway, looks like you had a great time Stu. I think visiting the Nurburgring is on the 'must do list' for any car nut - i've got to get myself over there soon. Would have to take the Honda though, as driving the Ring in the Derby might be a bit dull! |

Mine is just a straight line, although the one interesting feature the local one mile dragstrip (or the Greenock Esplanade, a kind of seafront thing with cafes and stuff at the end) has is the speedbumps they put up lately, which breaks ned bodykits all the time, but deters nobody! |
