A rainy visit to the green hell...

While enjoying one of the most terrible Dutch summers ever, a week or two ago we drove out to the Nurburgring (a.k.a. The Green Hell) in Germany... Without knowing that the annual old timer GP was going on, we were surpised to see tons of cool cars out there. It's always a pleasure to go to The Ring, because there's always nice machinery to see, but when the old timer GP is on, many rare automibles from all over Europe show up. We didn't even go onto the GP circuit, but only checked out the visitor's cars outside, and the "tourists action" on the Nordschleife.. Good times always. I didn't take many pics because of the pouring rain that didn't stop most of the day, but here's a very small selection.......

Check out the hard workin' blue collar guy with his hotrodded Ascona A. He's probably havin' as much fun with the old Opel as mister suit & tie guy on the right is having with his Lamborghini or Ferrari..

We spotted this tough lookin' Renault 5 Turbo on an almost empty, rained out camping. Normally you hardly ever see these cars around, this day we saw at least 4 or 5 of 'em..

How many 911's do you want.... There was a nice selection out there the day we went.
