ACHTUNG.......numbnut alert

Six guys from Penistone bought a Montego and Cavalier, £100 each, and headed for the Nurburgring for a few sedate laps.

The two lads in the Montego typed the town into Autoroute, via Paris(!), and headed east.

Stopping for petrol at journey's end, they asked a local for directions to the 'ring.

"You go back zer, from vhere you came, zis iz NurNburg, you vant Nurburg................"

That extra 'n', typed into Autoroute, took 'em 500 miles out of their way, almost into Munich!

Round trip..........1,700 miles.

Reread your post; not wanting to be pedantic or else, but you surely mean Nürnberg?

Yes but, if you type Nurnburg into Autoroute, it points you to Nurnberg. This, I assume, is what these lads did.

My second keying of Nurnburg was just for the sake of consistency.....(ahem)

dazren said In the article in the Sun newspaper these cretins claim to have "raced" during a tourist session in these heaps of sh1te............. We really do not need morons like this in unprepared non-trackworthy vehicles "on toll road"

Too right, Bruce.........the story in my local quoted them saying that "spectators" were clapping and cheering them on..........Wot??
