    Nurburgring

    I'm seriously thinking of taking my car to the Nurburgring for a blast around the circuit, has anyone been or would consider bringing their cars as well? After watching that old Top Gear episode with Clarkson driving the Jag I feel the need to go there.

    It's worth every penny, I'm 500+ laps of track, as Andy said, if your a petrol head then it's something you have to do, but remember you will need to drive home after so take it easy

    I have been 9 times nows. As said above if cars and motorsport is our thing, then the ring is an absolute must.

    I've been in my S70 T5, S40 T4, and S60R, done god knows how many laps over the years, and never had a failure of any kind. Many of my friends have been plenty of times to, and have not had any car trouble, accept my mate who stacked his 944! I personally think that a regular track day is harder on your car than taking it around the Ring.

    No. That was a trip a load of the T5D5 guys went on.
