    French hotels/routes, any advice really!?

    I was in Les Gets this March - good place. I would suggest you use the alpine routes and head north rather than west. TBH I always use the peage to get down there and then play on any of the local roads as they always satisfy. My fave is the route to Menton (Monaco) from Turin via the Col de...

    How to drive the Nordschleife. Proper, like.

    "Choice" - bet you enjoyed the Wales game bro! As for Sabine, Scotty is (as usual) right. Before she became the darling of the Top Gear Scooby Brigade she won a few races around the ring so lets not kid ourselves... If this bloke gave me a lift in his 911 I honestly believe I would sh!t myself...

    Performance Calculator

    These are the figures for my GSXR1000K3. Unfortunately I had to increase dry weight from 170kg (no rider) to the minimum of 350 (real wet weight inc rider is 301kg in my case). Actual figures are a little better - Standing Quarter at 10.3 with a terminal speed of 144mph, 0-100 in 7 secs...

    How to drive the Nordschleife. Proper, like.

    The driver is Stefan Roser (sp?) in the early 90's I think. Although you can't see his hairstyle, I think its fair to assume Mr Roser sports a mullet. But you can't argue with the driving. The film was done by a German car mag in collaboration with (I think) ADAC as part of an article about...

    Sabine in an M5 taxi (E39) followed by Porsche GT3 on the Nürburgring

    [ QUOTE ] I thought the 'ring taxi guaranteed around an 8'30. Of course she can go faster. She entertains, hangs the rear out, goes for air etc etc. She delivers thrills. Surely you need to compare apples with apples. [/ QUOTE ] Fair point Scotty - just getting bored of the Sabine adulation...

    Sabine in an M5 taxi (E39) followed by Porsche GT3 on the Nürburgring

    Sabine is dog slow in the ring taxi. I'm sure she could go faster if she didn't have the lives of her passengers in her hands, but she only does 9.00m-ish laps in the taxi.
