If you're planning on going this weekend then why have you left it so late to do some research?

Anyway, Ben Lovejoy's Ringers forum and Nurburgring website should make a god start.

I know. Sometimes PH is much faster at getting the 'right' answer than Google.

loads of info on northloop in their forum.

www.northloop.co.uk then go to the Forum or read the various sections for more info.

Ben Lovejoys site hasn`t been updated in ages so its a bit out of date in places, which is a shame.

is that bad??
It's a song/title about someone who does some things that look like fun, but actually they mess up the rest of their life. I thought you might 'get it'.

Dramatic? Probably, but due to your appointment on monday, you have already started down that path. Driving to Germany the weekend before, to do a Vmax and then an unprepared N'ring trip... well I do hope everyone comes out of it smiling.

Posting it all on the internet isn't the brightest thing to have done.... though I'm sure this isn't your real name, and there must be dozens of black-M3 drivers with the same appointment that you have on monday?

Try and see this as a bit of well-meaning advice, because that is how it is meant.

Well going to on the German Autobahns and a last minute trip to the ring is not illegal, so should have no bearing on Monday.

Just thought i would have a final bit of fun before the Monday morning...

As for the song lyrics im afraid I dont know it, im a child of the 80s so it could be before my time.
