Nurburgring Historics info

[Gordon]

Be warned, you can waste a lot of time on this site. Don't turn off the background noise, it's awesome.

http://www.avd.de/ogpracing/english/index.html The Nurburgring Historic races (8-10 AUG) attracts automotive enthusiasts from all over Europe. The numerous parking venues near the track are filled with classic cars and you haven't even gotten to the track or the car corrals outside the track. At the BMW corral at Nurburgring in 2004 is where I saw an inca orange E3, I've heard from others on the E3 list that at least one other Inka E3 is in the US. There are dozen's of classic Euro spec BMW's on display. Don't even get me started about the Ferrari corral. I've never seen so many gullwing Benz's in my life at the Mercedes corral. You walk around in classic car heaven going from one classic car maker corral to another (Alfa, Opel, Jaguar, etc...). Trust me, you need to make a pilgrimage to the Nurburgring Historics at least once before you die. Steve K, you need to move up your visit to Germany six weeks.

Wow. Great sounds and website. Kind of reminds me of the Petit LeMans I went to at Road Atlanta couple of years ago.

I'd love to hear that background on a real surround sound system (or in person!).

Thank you!

Wouldn't be this Inka E3 would it??

Lots of 02 and "oldtimer" pics, including a couple of years of OVD Nuburgring historics on this German site. FAQ member runs it. http://www.kfz-kultur.de/ Email him and try to look him up.

Steve,

That's the one, it's a 3.0Si. I must admit that Inka in a large car takes some getting used to or to get your sunglasses or eyes adjusted. Now if an E3 exists in golf yellow, that would be wild. I've seen a Euro spec early E12 520i M10 (early 70's model of the E12) that was in golf yellow.

As soon as I get some time off from work, I'll be getting out more. Did I mention that the beer over here is really good....
