Re: Nurburgring 2009

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the footage - Thanks for sharing :)

One of my biggest regrets following 2.5 years ownership was not taking the mine to the ring :roll:

Glad a go...

I appreciate the desireability of special editions and also that handling ehancements are more important than power. Despite this the lack of a power increase is the major critcism from harder core journos re the pz ( which I seriously admire), which costs more than the std 230 to insure. I would wa...

Would have loved to have tagged along for this one which looks like being one of the best runs of the year in light of the route and what is planned at Goodwood. It would probably have been my last RX-8 meet if I hadn't sold the car by then but in any case I am working extra hours that day leaving f...
