July 22: Nordschleife

I had an amazing day yesterday together with dodo and TT. Not only did we saw some stunning Ferraris at the GP Strecke, we also witnessed some great machines at work at the Nordschleife.

Very good job you did! Especially thank for all the track pics I wasn't able to take because of poor light and because of me beeing there at times

[ravenpaua]

Very good pics indeed, thanks for sharing them!

[Schwalbe]

Thanks Wutputt for those great NS pix.

I very like those Porsche (CGT,GT2,GT3Rs and the 997TT) that you photographed.



I know the Euro Viper has rear exhaust for UE emissions regulations, but I prefer the original side pipes.


Perhaps this is the new Porsche Cayenne turbo S 550hp, it goes on sale in early 2008.

I wouldn't have a clue, cause I was not behind the wheel


As for the exhuast pipes on the Viper, I fully agree, those side pipes are way nicer to look, and probably it sounds better too.

Congratulations to you for this beautyful day.

I spoke with dodo, he was happy too.
I said the next time i'll will be with you.

Thanks for making all these incredible pics.

Greetings Yeckmohr

[dodo]

usually i'm the one who is posting pics from the ns...!
..and now? i feel so useless! :cry: :cry:

just a little addition:



..but now you guys know what's going on there every weekend! next time you have to come at a warm and sunny saturday..

[TT]

About the Viper.. here in Switzerland now the side exhaust are legal and "our" SRT10 have no mods in that dept.. weird that Germany still doesn't allow them.. what about the SLR?

BTW guys, the NS experience was just special.. even more so since I managed to meet two more JW members!

We often talked about it, but I definitely think we should start planning a "real" JW meeting there for 2006!

Damn the 997 TT is just looking really good

[Wutputt]

@ dodo: nice pic, it gives a good overview of the cars that were in the parking lot.

@ yeckmohr, you sure have to come too when the next little JW meeting is held at the ring

The SLR's side pipes are in front of the doors, so according to the health and safety department you can't burn your legs/feet when stepping out of the vehicle.

[ARMAN]

I would consider coming to something like that - I will never see so many nice cars in Perth so I need to explore overseas eventually anyway.

It will end up being fairly expensive coming from Australia - but if I combine it with something else it would definately be worth it.

uhh very impressive!! :shock: 8)
