Rene, how come you're selling? I may be behind the times with this one, but you've not had the Hartge long and now its in the classifieds?

Is the Weissmann coming?

No Tim, its because within a year I have to sell it, and it mostly takes a year or so to sell such car and I'm in no hurry as you can guess but for the right price it will go...and i rather sell it on time and not when it really has to go then you loose a lot money.
Its my only car that also why and its a responsibility for a thinker like me...I had my dream-car and it also drives like a dream every time I get in its really that good! the best car I've ever had and ever driven! but I want to keep it the best car and not getting to many miles on it.

I had my pleasure to hunt it down and own one of the rarest cars on the planet (there's only one!) and also put Hartge as a brand on the map in NL by the RDW never ever was there a Hartge as a brand on Dutch papers only as tuning parts on a BMW so that's a nice thing too

A Wiesmann GT is sadly a bit to high for me now, I'm not that rich sadly, but I hope within a year or 6 to own one, its on my dreanlist too, already a few years

The Hartge is a real bargain for what I'm asking, but many do not know its a real Hartge and not just a pimped up BMW with Hartge parts and its even cheaper then buying the parts and labour(95.000,-euro) and then you still have a BMW.

You were there too? it was fun, the first time for me that the Hartge went over the Ring, big fun and the car is fast enough, ofcorse its not a real track-car or track focused but I had fun, just like on the video link @ Zandvoort 19 Sept this year, big fun too but I'm driving with some margin ofcorse, don't want to harm the Hartge

Cool, what car will you bring with you? I try to park around the main entrance I don't know how you all look, only know some name's also have to see how late I get there and how late you guys are there, I guess early
would be nice to see some of you, also think that would be the last time on the Ring this year.

Call me when you're rolling in Rene . . . bunch of Brit plates and a blue Dutch 206 GTi will be happy to share the day with you. It will be fab for sure. We'll be starting early I guess since we're staying in Pistenklause hotel.

Rene, thank you soooooo much for the ride in the Hartge, that is an experiance i'll never forget !!! WOW that thing is amazing - it just goes instantly as soon as the throttle is floored on a great big tidal wave of torque and the noise, that glorious noise

Thanks again mate and hopefully we'll see you again some time soon

Hi John, did Rene took you for a spin on the Ring? That Hartge is a very fine car indeed. And Rene is a class guy :thumbsup:

For meself I can look back at a monumental weekend: what can top that one?

Rene: I'll send you the pics I made of your pride 'n joy. Good to see and hear it again! I bet you want a Vette now

[GTRene]

@John, your welcome mate, nice to meet you and your girlfriend, your a nice couple it was fine day @ the Ring, the weather, the cars and the people thx for making this day possible.

@Albert, I did not took John on the Ring, I just did one lap alone because I have to know the Ring a bit better first and the Hartge is not really a Ring Tool it glides? to much with the street tires and the brakes are not up for a "track" so I loose almost every corner a second ore more, they did time my lap(just my second lap on the Ring) and did a 9:27min that with 2 yellow flags and a working slow spot...and some traffic, glad I did it under 10min
And ow Albert, It would be nice to see the pics you made

David Yu's Z06 is amazing it grips and grips and ow the brakes damn how easy to drive, if my car handled that well I bet they could time me around a low 8min (when I know the Ring better) David drives very well and that Vet is amazing and looks stunning!
Though I'm not a Corvette man and my money would not go to a Vet(though I once owned one I believe it was a C4)

Yo Rene, how are you doin' ? We know each other from the Ultima forum but I have some news for you, I have just bought myself a Z4 M Coupe !. It will not be for a while yet but my plan is to do an engine transplant using, you guessed it, an LS7. This may not actually happen as I am finding the 3.2 a pleasure but a pal of mine has just emigrated to the States and I have asked him to look out for a 'cut out' motor for me so this may be the deciding factor. Good to see that you are enjoying your car and you never know, we may yet get to meet face to face one day

H Wayne, I'm doing "fine" thx...mister black right so you bought yourself a Z4 M coupe? and in time you gonna put a lovely LS7 engine in it nice what a great idea! also put some carbon parts on it en CSL seats to safe some weight and you have a masterpiece
Monday when I was doing a fast lap round the Ring as a passenger in David Yu's car the tuned 575hp Corvette Z06 with other suspension and wheels ans big big brakes we had some irritating very fast BMW Z4 M coupe in our mirror and we were going really fast(a bit faster then the Porsche GT3 in front of us, but we had to let it pas amazing how fast that car was, must be tuned and must have had a lot special stuff on it so keep us posted when your in for that kind of work on that Z4 M coupe.
Would be nice to see you Wayne, best at a good surrounding, lets say Nordschleife/Nurburgring but this year no more because of the weather over-there...unstable and its a long ride to gamble.
What colour is your car and what more would you change? by the way you can sell the parts that come from the M for another project say a light ginetta with such engine or a screaming caterham/7 type...
