Just got back home from todays practice sessions ... Lovely weather, quite a good crowd and nice pictures.  Watched the final half hour of the oldtimers practice session and the 24h practice session at the GP Strecke (Mercedes tribune, Ford Kurve and Dunlop Kehre) and got off to Breidscheid afterwards to watch the Renaults.

Drove allmost 600 kms today just to watch the practice sessions, maybe people are right when they say I'm crazy  ;D.  Can't make it tomorrow (some bloody stupid marriage I have to attend), but will be back there Sundaymorning pretty early for the closing hours of the race ...

A few pictures wil follow later tonight.

Beautiful.... Whilst Kev may have forgotten to come this weekend - I think I might have forgotten to see any cars....in fact the one attempt I did have at watching the racing, resulted in the loss of all of my clothes except for one shoe, and a fag packet.....

Ridiculous weekend - lots of photos - most of which should never ever see the light of day - Nurburg is absolutely beautiful - the most picturesque setting for a racetrack I've ever seen. 

and the final word?

Ich habe.... (said very very loud, in the middle of a german bar).....

Sorry Kev, this is best one, great car pics and even managed to get a cherry picker in the pic as well - heaven  ;)



But the question is, is it better or different than Spa?

I think it might be plastic poisoning.....

For gods sake - you have no stamina - 6 days to go until the next round....

Thanks for making my third and final stag hugely memorable....well....it will be when the photos surface so that I can piece it all back together anyway :)

Germans...everywhere....seething with them sir....
