@awwwcrap: Probably. Public access was closed for an ADAC event the day I was there, so I didn't get to find out. Might want to get as much insurance as you can first.

This seems to be the best possible use for a rubber snouted MGB. After all, they were sent out from the factory already lifted, and they're on a frame. What could be better than lifting it up a little more, sliding in a frame that God and Nature always wanted, and replacing the engine that could barely move an egg…

I thinks there's a business plan waiting to be drawn up for a auto body shop in Nurburg.

@Bagel Oversteer: It'll absolutely crush those shifter carts.

@James Glickenhaus: Time to book a flight and sell a kidney!

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: They'd be in the same class if the Porsche was a 997.

@James Glickenhaus: Can somebody get this guy a star?

PCA doesn't want to hear this, but that Lambo is in a different class.

@James Glickenhaus: I fired up Googlearth to look for the track - I though it might be out back of Pininfarina's factory. But all I found was some dirt go kart tracks in the neighborhood. Glad everything stayed bolted together. It's going to be fantastic to see that car stretch its legs.

Handsome car and those front seats look great. But that kind of axle windup usually requires a key and a music box. Those leaves must be about eight feet long and the shocks without any rebound.

I need a moment of quiet time here to collect my breath. Sounds and looks awfully good on that short, cold track.

How do I get one of these anonymous SIM cards, without knocking over a traffic light?

The more I think about it, the better that Chrysler wagon sounds. And $5,500 is cheap for a slice of Fab Four history.

@My hybrid Trabi gets better mileage than your lawnmower!: Well, someone had to start the grand tradition of customizing VW Beetles.

@zerobandwidth: Cold pizza is a crime. Thanks for straightening me out. IRRC, the accident happened on the way to the pizzeria, so it was physically impossible for the pizza to have committed that heinous act. I respectfully request that charges against the pizza be reduced to accessory before the fact.

What's the problem? He asked his supervisor if he could run a quick errand.

I think the original rough cut of this ad would have sold more Audis. Or anything else, for that matter. I blame focus groups.

It looks better in motion than in the build pictures. I guess it's time to start planning that Nurburgring vacation now.

I thought that photo was describing lubrication starvation, leading to piston scuffing, in the horizontal installation of her V-2. Glad you could clear that up.
