Man, that sounds like fun. Those are some gorgeous pictures, too.

Yep, I found that pic on a site and e-mailed the guy saying it was by far the best pic of that weekend. He was kind enough to send me a higher res version for free !

Anyway you can host it/email it to me? mmrozelle@bsu.edu

Its by far my most favorite shot of any e34.

Thanks for the pictures, Kai ! The car wasn't that great thru the Hatzenbach - the suspension is too soft and the car just too heavy next to the stripped Golfs and the like. From Flugplatz to Adenauer - Forst was just awesome though. Having the V8 power to pull up Kesselchen was also fun.

Macv : have sent you an e-mail with the picture. I'm next to useless with computers, so please let me know if there is a problem. It's 1.4mb, and I had no idea how to compact it for e-mailing...

Noticed a few american accents at the Ring last weekend. Quite a few were on holiday and some had flown in just to drive the Ring. Most were in rental race cars, some just had what they could hire at the airport. www.rent-racecar.de/gb/

indeed - an e34 is not the perfect ring toy. i still remember a lap in 2003: M5 3.6 with a very skilled nürburgring driver, me on the passenger side, and we had really big problems to overtake an opel kadett gsi 16v with ~170hp.
i want to prepare an e34 for the ring within the next 2 years, perhaps a 525i M50 or 535i without sunroof, want to part out everything what is not needed (whole interieur, noise-absorbent mats and so on), powerflex suspension and hope to reach the 1200 kg.
but an e34 is still noticeable on the ring, between the whole 3-series and porsches. i did a lap in a smart on sunday, was really funny at all
