this - definitely

good times

thinking about it I am glad it closed ( the 3 times I queued) before I got on that morning......So very very busy.... I was back in france by the time you got back to nurburg.....

Looks like they lost their months shopping in the process as well

hi conleth, that was a BIG moment! if it was'nt for them two young lads flagging us down my csl would be in the same state as that cr-v! only just managed to get it back . i did have a wounder over to the other car park but thought you must have gone back to change your pants after that
only just got back and can't wait to go again .

I was there too, heavy heavy traffic everywhere and lot of similar situations. Just after that video I was asked multiple times if the CSL on the video is me.

Lucky it's not at that time I was down in Adenau helping my friend sort our services on his new crashed GT3RS 4.0 which had accident round hour before this on oil which leaked from some swedish GT3

not a good weekend, too many people and super shitty weather for Saturday and Sunday

What is all this crap coming out from the trunk ?

Was he in schlecker for shopping ?

My Girlfriend found that video on Sunday night, the first time we watched it I thought the CSL might’ve been me as I recall that red Golf on my tail only a couple of corners later & I’d drove pass without seeing the accident, but thankfully not!

On a second look I knew who-ever was driving the CSL couldn’t have miss it.. ringside seat that!!

I like the referee who seemed to go mad with her whistle once the incident took place. Presumably she was trying to stop the crowd from jumping the barrier and going to assist.
