7minutes? yeah right, RW doesn't even go that fast i do think i could go faster with some proper driver training tho, i know that i'm not the best driver, and some proper instruction would go a massive long way. Diva, fancy giving me some pointers next time round matey? you get lots of free laps

about 1k miles before this happened, the car did have a big oil leak, and was driven flat out at high RPM with next to no oil in (obviously i didn't notice), this probably didn't help, and i'm confident has contributed in some way. i'm pretty sure if it had not been allowed to run low on oil (both when it had this leak, and on the ring when it let go) that it would happily have run round to 200 thousand miles

anyway, like you said, lesson learnt, and luckily it wont be too expensive to put right, imagine if i did that to an M3 CSL or something?

oh shit thats just reminded me of one of my last laps where i had a "moment" i was going round with Diva in the passenger seat, and we were going at a fair old pace. around about adenau we came up on a 911 turbo who i managed to pass easily on the long flat out sections (could tell the guy didnt kow the track). but in the sections between the karosell (sp?) and bruchen(sp?)/showboat his far more powerful car allowed him to catch back up and he was itching to get back past me. i very kindly allowed him to pass, even tho i know i'd have to pass him again shortly (aren't i kind) anyway, as we went through Pflanzgarten (long flat out/blind section at the end just after the small steep dip) i was riding his rear bumper, pedal to the metal, with my left indicator on to show that i wanted to pass, nout wrong with that, expected him to pull over as we were now on a straight where you can clearly see where the track goes. (we're doing about 100-110 here)


no, he piles on the anchors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think i small amount of poo came out...

with ABS going MENTAL i just about managed to swerve to his right and avoid hitting him at high speed (his brakes were so much better than mine i ended up level with his drivers window!) and if it wasnt for ABS i may have even spun the car here

such a lucky escape, just goes to show you have to be really careful for other people doing STUPID things even when you're driving is fine

anyway diva, did you get his plate, might get his address and send him a poo in a bag
