Today i visited the ancient castle of Nür, a place where men forged a ring of power long ago. This place has been a battle ground through the ages. Still today mighty clans from germany Italy England and beyond battle for supremacy in this highly contested holy site. You can hear the mighty battle crys, low growls, and awe-inspiring roars reverberating across the valley and up to this high tower. I saw such fierce clans as lambogurgini, porsh , maserati, Audi, Ferrari, Hyundai, Mercedes, Lotus and may more. Here is my fearless i20 preparing to lap the Nürburgring... it took about an hour as i wouldn’t actually take it on the track and i had to squeeze past some loggers on the way but i made it! It’s actually amazing driving all around this region as you drive though hills valleys forests and plains – mind you a few more horses would help, especially on the autobahn.. 0-130 speed leaves something to be desired, but i found if you keep it at over 3,000 rpm it can accelerate nicely. I have rediscovered the skill as well as the joy of driving. In Australia we are spoilt by obvious signage and cornering speed (those little yellow signs you ignore?). In Germany you need to pay attention and you need to use your accelerator and breaks as well as your brain.
