First of all some videos, starting with my fastest lap which was a 9.57 bridge to gantry, car is a standard 125bhp 1.7 Ford Puma, apart from being lowered. Video front and chase angles.

Then the other 3 laps I did which are slower but probably more entertaining as there is more traffic.

Then we have 10 mins (as youtube only allow that length) of a 20 min session of the GP Track.

And some pics from the trip!
4am start and on the ferry crossing over
some images of the 4 car convoy, me, ojc, andy and butler
Arrived at Karins house, our usual place we stop at, about 4 hours and 285 miles after getting off the ferry.
That night tried to hook up the n64 to play 3 player goldeneye, couldnt get it working on the main TV so me and ollie carried the one from upstairs down  and it still wouldnt work 
We did get it working the day before we left though 
Next day we head up the track and someone recognised me from a Puma forum and came over, sadly he got a bit excited by the whole affair and when he'd finished speaking to me he drove forward not realising there was a ditch in front of him, then this happened
Didnt think we were going to get him out but with a few of us pushing and lifting eventually it reversed out.
That night was a trip to one of the restaurants outside the welcome center
Very strange man walking around with a watering can and dungaree shorts.
The welcome center
And roller coaster that still isnt working because apparently it didnt get TUV approval
Inside the complex was a massive display
We all met at Blau Ecke hotel for some mega burgers but they had run out 
Warren
Warren getting dragged under the table
warren again
Someone had a fish, when they finished scraping all the flesh off the bones i put the carcass in the bread basket  tucked it in for a nice sleep
Dreamt about that fucking fish in that basket that night
The next few days were spent on and around the track so some images..
Tonys car
some for the puma lot
More pics at the ring entrance
This was a UK nova with CF slam panel
Rach and ollie topping up ring card with laps
Some pics from in and around the Brunchen viewing spot
Spanish in his
Andy in his
Two yellow porsches had an off resulting in closed track and this
Past this on one of the main roads
Found some cows outside Tonys house
Unbeknown to us just round the corner from the house there has been a full size footie pitch 
Ollie decided to have a jacuzzi and wank
Interesting signpost in Adenau
Back to the track some more pics in a spot near Brunchen
Then onto the GP session, this time it was just Andy and Spanish on the track had it all to themselves
Sadly no liberties could be taken on this chicane due to the introduction of some stones 
In the GP track car park, where Rock am ring is taking place this year, you can make out the stage being readied behind
Night before we left had a pizza in Pinocchios in Adenau
JR looking handsome in his West ham t shirt
Then after we finished the pizza we were hanging about outside and noticed a plastic curtain in an alley round the side of the pizza place, we looked behind and almost shit outselves to find these life size weird statues
Then we come home, ollie releasing some frustration on Time Crisis at the Dunkerque port because they wouldnt allow us on the 4 o clock ferry without paying 61 quid
Then we got on the ferry and come home

That guy that drove into the ditch He looked like he just got back from a wedding. Love how hes standing next it in the pic not knowing what to do. Cheers for putting me up for the night again guys. Your commitment to trying to get the N64 to work was comedy.

Steve those roadworks on your 9:57 lap, they weren't fixing a barrier were they?

I've now driven it both the short & full circuit and in a way prefer it to the Nordschleife.
It 30 euros for a 20 minute session
