A little trip to the 'ring (with a few spy photos)

I know this probably is in the wrong section, but let's face it; the e60 forum is kinda dull.

Andreas, a friend of me started to plan a trip to the famous Nürburgring a while a go. Driving his own car. Together with the friends (Mathias and Jens) he ordered ferry tickets and hotel. Me and a other friend (Magne) waited with the whole thing for various reasons (one of the was how to get there). After some convincing of my wife that she didn't need the car for a little week, we had a plan!

Just two days before departure, me and Magne joined as well.

Destination Nürburg!
