Another old "video" from the good old days. It is amazing to see how green the Green Hell was back in the days. Also how much more difficult it must have been driving it because of the bumps etc.

Old one, but I enjoyed watching it. A lot of stuff still applies.

Looking forward to the spring and to get back into the Great White.

Found this "Great White" on my parking today. Funny enough I didn't noticed it until today.

Found a picture from this autumn that is rather funny. (Well - a video would have been more fun.)

Me and friend was sitting outside our hotel enjoying the good weather during a track closure when we notice this big group from Bilstein Japan.

There where 1 guy there from Bilstein Germany that told us that he guided this group from Japan around Nürburg.

My friend said out loud: "Bilstein, I have Bilstein dampers in my car!"

As you can see from the picture this was really interesting for the group. Never has his BMW gotten so much attention, affection and love
He even found Bilstein Japan folks inside his car

It would have been fun if they accepted the invitation to get taxi rides on the Ring, their guide told us that that was not a good idea

owning a house that can store a ton of cars 3 hours from the Ring and 2 hours from Spa makes me rethink everything!
