I`ve just landed back from a camping holiday in Germany, down near Todnau. Had a lap of the Nurburgring (got the sticker ) and a blat up to 130mph on the Autobahn had more to go but it was starting to get a bit busy :(

The vRS was loaded down with 2 of us, camping gear and 2 mountain bikes and still had enough space for me to use the rear view mirror!

 

What a fantastic car! averaged 35.6 mpg over the full journey which imo is fantastic. The performance on the `Ring was brilliant, great brakes, handling and performance with all and sundry driving 911`s, GTR`s and M cars passing me  

Comfort was good but could`ve done with another couple of inches leg room for me and the vRS seats were extremely comfortable for the last days 7hr drive back to Zeebrugge

 

 

All in all a brilliant car and can`t say that I regret signing on the dotted line for my first new car :D 

Thanks for sharing, great to read you are happy.

Great to here you enjoyed it so much.  What was your lap time?  Never been around the 'Ring' would you recommend it?

About 11 1/2 mins I think This was the 2nd time I`d been round, the first time was on my Triumph Tiger 1050 loaded with camping kit I`d recommend it just do a bit of homework before you go re `Ring etiquette, overtaking, indication, keep right when being overtook etc. Plenty of sites on the net to look at. Don`t even pretend you know where you`re going on the track because there`s corners that will catch you out as you crest a hill thinking they go one way and they go the opposite

Just enjoy it and keep a good eye on your mirrors as there`s fast stuff there piloted by people who know where they are going

Thanks, sounds a hoot, fingers crssed I will get to go and give it a bash. Sounds like caution is my best approach to it.

Thanks again.

Nurburgring sounds a hoot - especially like the Taylor Swift CD on the accessories list. I want to get my VRS down to the Ring at some point, having a smallish daughter my trip will be assisted by One Direction!
