Default My M5 found on a video briefly on the ring

Hi guys

The last time I took the M5 to the nurburgring, the Scumball Rally guys were there doing their thing.

The below link is one of their videos. I come past them with some vigour at about the 12 minute mark on the video!

Probably meaningless to anyone who dont know me - but hey thats life!!!!

The drifting Omega at the start had me!

Never seen a lap so frought with danger there-stranded cars, flags, temporary signs, men in road etc! (and i've been in two incidents involving a towing and watched my mates bike "wander" off the track in to an Audi TT!)

Why the fook do they always destroy an original soundtrack (i.e the vehicles) with music!

Looks like you weren't hanging around either! (what car were they in by the way cause it weren't too shonky for 500 quid!!!)

You sailed by, not to shabby pedalling!

Good find, wish I could see some clips of mine on there.

Hi Guys

I cant remember exactly what car they were in, but I can tell you that there were a couple of cars (including the Ferrari at the beginning ) that were clearly above budget . IIRC the car that had the camera was one of those, and was the convertible.

To be fair, they got in quite a lot of trouble, as they hadnt bothered to ask for permission to do the filming IIRC.

Apparently, Men and Motors did a 1/2hr special on their Scumball trip, and there was a clip of me going past them on a different lap with the response along the lines of "F**king hell! He was flying"! Gutted - I never got to see it myself!

Last time I was there my power steering rack shed its oil over the track and my Mrs got towed off!

(Luckily i'd banged a 9 1/2 min lap in before she went out-with no power steering as well!! )
