    I already feel sorry for the rental mercedes, wonder how much heat the brake fluid will take...

    Todays maserati that picked me up from the airport easily got past 220kph.

    Plus I get the opportunity to meet one of my customers that is here in the army, he has been running his muellerized jics for a little over 3 years in europe. O0

    Wow, I find it hard to believe I know more about what is going on in germany than you do, and you live there, sorry I missed you today.

    The ring is closed on weekdays this time of year, but is still open to the public on the weekends. This afternoon I put in 5 laps, 3 in a c class mercedes with the traction control on 98% of the time, 1 more in the mercedes with the traction control off, which was freaking badass, and the last 1 in a customer evo for a quality´'hell ride' :twisted:

    Conditions were extremely cold and rainy with some torrential downpours for good measure, it is amazing how different conditions can change in just the space of a couple corners. Only 2 cars passed me all day, a modded M3 went stomping by, plus an M5 showed me the wet line on the last 3rd of my first lap. Really unbelievable how many cars ran in such poor conditions, and cars were being wrecked at a rate of a least 2 per hour, the tow truck drivers were doing excellent business today.

    The ring is much more dramatic :-o in person than any video game, that is for sure.

    In-car pics will be up as soon as I can get a decent connection for my lappy, having to use the hotel compy for now, these european style keyboards are rough...all the keys are in different places. Staying at the hotel located on the pit straight of the grand prix circuit tonight, complete with formula 1 cars hanging overhead in the lobby.
    This part of the world is the best 'car person' theme park I have been to yet. O0

    I was the rainmaster of the ring for 5 laps, 3 in the Mercedes c class 98% with traction control on, 1 w/o traction control which was badass, and 1 customer evo quality hell ride in the pouring rain.



    Now I am in the hotel that the f1 teams stay at on the pit straightaway of the grand prix circuit, it feels awesome to be here, where giants have lived and died.



    This is the first time any of us mueller’s have returned to europe/germany since gramp’s brother died in the battle of the bulge in ww2, I finally made it to the country he died fighting to get to.



    One lifelong goal of driving the ring done :-)
