Really cool shots!... Why is the number plate so small though?

I had the plates on my VX220 before, which had a small recess which suited a 3/4 size plate. I haven't bothered getting another one yet (lazy, I know!).

But i'm sure I've seen pics of your car with full size plates?!

Ah yes, it was the back, yes...

Pull yer finger out fella, you spend all that cash on that car... you could at least get a number plate that fits :D
 
Well I'm waiting to have the front bumper repainted (once it's collected a few stone chips from all these 'Ring visits) and have the numberplate plinth removed completely, ugly thing that it is...
 
To a complete novice, how do you go about getting to the 'ring, arranging a run, etc.

And how much does it cost.

Really tempted.

Just look up the tourist days (Touristenfahrten) on the Nurburgring Website and get yourself along. I can give you a few recommendations on places to stay near the track. Average prices are 100EUR per room per night (B&B).

A lap is about 18EUR, or multiple lap tickets are sold with a discount (about 240EUR for an 15-lap ticket for example).

There are some rules to the circuit on tourist days. German road law applies, so overtaking can only be done on the left etc...

http://www.nurburgring.org is an excellent site with loads of information about what to expect when you go. Worth a read...
 
Cheers sixspeed - some good info there.

Will definitely look into this. Really want to do it.

We ought to arrange a forum trip or something!
