the guy should be investigated by a shrink, I mean beating up a guy for giving you a compliment??? There's something seriously wrong with that...

how about we put him in prison for the amount of days the guy stays in coma except each day = 1 year... 7+ years and counting!

Thanks a lot for that reply! Exactly what I was hoping for.

how does the ST perform compared to the EU RS-spec? Or even compared to a "vanilla" Focus?

great stuff!

can't stop laughing at the people jumping off the ship :-D

Over here it is generally considered more economical to buy a Diesel if you're average route is more then 5km. It costs more at the start, but with it's economical usage of fuel over longer distances, it ballances out in the short run and totally falls over to the side of diesels once you get past a 5 year live-span.…

my Opel Astra Sportstourer Sport Edition ( wagon ) gets about 33.6 MPG over a full tank of diesel, that's combined inner-city-traffic ( about 15% ), rural-traffic ( about 30%) and highway (55%) and me driving it like a madman ( up until the speedlimit ). ( Note that highway is 47 mpg driving at 130 kph )

since the 'Ring is classed as a 'Tollroad' on public days, any road-legal-vehicle is allowed on track... I've overtaken trourist-busses already on the track as they do a "scenic tour" with those...

even better, it was Tanner Foust driving it ( check his twitter-stream for pics, still waiting for the video though... )

there's a sign at the entrance that you're supposed to read, but most people just drive by it... All you need is a street-legal-car, driving license and a ticket and then you're good to go...

it's not a "Race" its simply called "Tourist Drives" ( Touristfahrten ) when regular people without a car-company can drive on the 'Ring, so unless you've got a race-team or can spare the money for a private-trackday at the ring ( starting at 600 euros if you bring your own car ), there's no other choice then to do it…

better to smash one window for no true reason than to miss smashing one that needs to be smashed.

My wife overtook a Dodge Viper ACR at the 'Ring in her completely stock Toyota Aygo and went 4-wheels-sliding down at Brunchen, I love her like no other :-)

indeed this was from the cops, the roundabout is NOT at the entrance to the 'Ring, it's in an industrial site where most regular ringers go to cool down their cars and try to spot mules from Aston etc that are located in that very street... It's about 1 or 2 miles from the entrance...

what questions do you have? Just stick to the speedlimit! The autobahn has parts where you can drive as fast as you want, but also a LOT of places with 100/130km/h speedlimits which are enforced with speedcams, so keep an eye out for those plates as the price of a speedingticket can go up pretty fast :-)

except for the 10 different radiators that are mounted around the body to cool that awesome engine, each 'tap' could have a chance of damaging one of those and thus after a few minutes you have a big chance of having a very expensive explosion :-D

well it's in the list ( not by me sadly enough ), but I'd say it has shocked every single sceptic that has driven it so far, TopGear LOVED it ( and we know how they feel about Toyota ), every magazine that gets to drive it starts their review in the same way ( toyota boring blablablah ) but ends with a huge score…

what they promised was a follow up to the AE86, hence the name FT-86 when it was still a prototype ( FT = Future Toyota ), I'd say they delivered exactly what they promised ( as far as we can guess from the reviews etc, still have to drive one myself )

Easy: Toyota GT 86... For years I had been screaming that this would be the second coming of Toyota, nobody believed me... For years I was mocked by all my car-loving friends, but now as reviews are coming in, I've been proven right :-)
