I'd love to, but i'm guessing it's going to be next year by the time i get my car and optimisation done. (in terms of good weather)

I'm up in Glasgow, so it's a lot further for me

Maybe Knockhill will make do. One of my staff's husband has a CLS AMG he's taken up there. Maybe go race him in the 335d first

YES!!! Thats the very car and most probably the very same chap driving!! He was powersliding it round the last right hander exactly the same way - flashy bast**d!!! Great driver though and car looks awsome!!
Gotta say as well Baris - your photography skills are brilliant matey, i actually think your shots from your Ring trip are better than Jochens. Ive got a good mind to book you on my next trip as my dedicated photographer!!! Good stuff fella, seriously. Love that head on shot of the Lambo drop top!!! Hope to catch up with you and Hiten really soon - been too long. How was the Stag part 2 btw???

Great driving too bud, you handled the GT-R beautifully

I could'nt have put it better myself.

I can remember many corners where I thought Steve was going to lose his line approaching the corner because of some biker, but he just floored it

and recovered his position, with the exception of the 'balloon' on his bike!

Great car and an awesome drive

XKaLiBaR · 08-19-2009, 03:10 PM

Haha! I thought it might be. It took me a good hour walk to get to that Hairpin bend before the carosel. The aston was drifting it round the hairpin, everytime it came round. Did a nice scandinavion flick....Was awesome!! I heard its like a ring taxi, except better, and with a bigger price tag of around £300.
Did a nice photography shoot for a load of people that went to the ring last month with the nurburgring experience. I charged them £40 each for about 200 pictures of the whole trip.

Im going again on the 3rd of october, and also doing spa. Will do another photoshoot.

dxb335d · 08-19-2009, 03:14 PM

Cheers Jochen.

I didn't pre-arrange anything with Jochen and he got 10 shots of Mandy and I. I just dropped him an email on the off-chance.

Roaders · 08-20-2009, 01:49 AM

How do I contact this Jochen guy - would be nice to see if he has any shots of me.

Tony - those pictures are fantastic! Reminds me of pictures that I got of me at Spa with the track visible way off in the distance.

Lots of different sites for pictures at the ring. Make sure you check them all for your cars.

GhOsT_E90 · 08-20-2009, 07:04 AM

Sorry i didn't get a chance to talk to any of you guys. I met booforty last year at one of the viewing points, i was with a few freinds also with E92 white M3s and i had the montego blue E90 335. Just wondering if any of the guys that were taking pictures from the track got any pictures of my car from Saturday, i wasn't able to find many from Saturday from any of the other known photographers. Hopefully next time your group comes I can be there and meet up with you guys. I am leaving for Iraq soon so hopefully before then. Heres my car if any of you got pics of it please let me know.

Oil Burner · 08-20-2009, 07:05 AM

great write up Steve, left me feeling breathless

loving the pics of you all, sounds like a great trip

booforty · 08-20-2009, 08:43 AM

Hey Ghost, sorry I missed you!

We arrived at the Ring at 4pm on Saturday and stayed until 7:30pm. Sunday we were there all afternoon and spent some time at the viewing spot where we met you last year. Hope you had as good a time as we did!

Until next time
