I dont think she is doing BMW anymore.

When I saw her there in June, she had her 911GT3 (Früh Kölsch car).

I am thinking to visit the Porsche Museum and Nurburgring. Just want to seek some great input and advice from the ones who has great experience with them. Here are some of my questions:

1. Can I drive on Nurburgring anytime with any car? If not, what do I need to do in order to drive on Nurburgring?
As you have been told yes/no. You can drive on it, but you may get a huge bill or banned from the rental car company.

At the airport where you fly in.

The ring. Fast moving cars. Slow moving cars. Motorcycles. Turns. Anyone with UK license plates.

Porsche museum: Tourists.

Well in the winter it can be cold. Early summer and fall are generally good weather. Around xmas is neat for the markets.

Thanks a lot in advance.
If you go to the n-ring, find Burg Eltz and go see it.

Of course you need to eat Haxe...and you must have beer with Haxe.

It depends upon what yoru definition of "fun" is. You can take the extreme and go to the Reeperbahn...or the other extreme and go to Europapark. Both have entertainment...it just depends what you like.

I was in Zuffenhausen today.

Right now there isnt a very good display on the rotating floors. It actually seems they "in between" exhibits. There are some blank spots and not a good theme going on.

There is a nice C-Gt for sale though.

Go across the street. There are three Porsche race cars in the sales center on display (loans from the museum).
