Come across this for which may be helpful to many for learning the Ring especially for the turn in points, positioning, were the apex's are on the many corners & what to look for etc.

A very good addition to using PS3 & Xbox etc

Even though I'm experienced around the Nordschliefe there were many pointers that I didn't realise & looking forward to using when back there in October.

It is the only way on a 'biggy'.

A 14' Pye is no good...

I wasn't joking about the near divorce although her ultimatum was meek. "Will you be done by the Summer on the Tele?"

I quipped back, "YES furious I'm at the Ring in May!!!" bless her. However, forgot to add, it was January when she pestered...smile

Seriously, I have watched that link 3 times & have picked up on loads of things. I'm certain a savagely quick lap can be attianed in a 'tricked' Noble like you lot have!

I don't watch it on the big tele thoughlaugh

See you soon & keep practicing matey.

Now your talkingsmile

Since got back can't stop quoffin'

Like the Nordschliefe!

LOVE the grub.

Don't give a toss if it rains.

There are some tremendous eateries as well as Pistonclause.

When we all go back proper we'll do a Food crawl???

I used to work with Neil for over ten years in the 80's/90's & he ate more than me & put nowt on. I'll resembled Selwyn Froggit.

He's catching us up now especially during & after this visit...smile

How's the Millenium Falcon?

Hopefully it will be fine with a bit of TLC

Mines there getting engine mounts done.

Hopefully picking it up early Monday then on to Silverstone evening sesh to reprise me rivalery with GT2's etc.

I need to deploy a 'Mad Max' perhaps to 500 ish. Gonna speak to the lads to get it in on the way back from Ring & Spa in October for transfusion over Winter.

Besides need 500 to break the land speed record over Etton High Hump for a Knievel special next year...smile

We'll get you over to ours & immediately take you over it. It is truly outragous both sides, you have to see it to believe it!

Then more importantly, then take you to Mustapha's Restaurant near Hull Town Centre that does the best Steaks I have ever had in my career including NY n LV & I've had a few, The Fillet Steak Strogonoff is life changing plus all the necessary accroutrements every gob full is an event, I promise pal. We'll start with that splendid dish.

Thanks pal, truly really appreciate everything.

Booked car in at Jetstream for 'Mad Max' treatment this morning.

Gonna drop car off on way back from Ring/Spa in October.

It's Steve's fault!!! especially now I have to map out a food crawl for October. Track time maybe at a minimum burger

Could sink one of them Blue Eche Mega XXL burgers at this time.

Sorry mate

Plump

Yeah, I'm gonna call it 'Mad Max GT2 INTERCEPTOR'

Might have to go to 600 to compensate for added 'Timber' I'm aquiring on these trips...

I have some outstanding haunts but the majority are in Las Vegas & New York, are there any tracks near them not that we'de go on emsmile

Gonna compile list regardless



Another excellent guide to the Ring, plus Mad Max V8 Interceptor. Would be outrageous turning up at Ring/Silverstone tracking that Beast. I would no question...

Enjoy

Nice snacks them Tasty's... laugh

If I didnt do 200 + miles a week on me bike in the Garage I'd resemble Arthur Mullard smile still do a bit!

Yeah, would be nice for us all to go out & sample Leicster's Fayre. It would be a near miracle to get them two out I reckon with the amount of work they have on. I'll still sample though.

Now if your talking steaks and New York its got to be Gallaghers.
food porn

If your going to Mustaffas then let me know, the liver starter is devine, followed by a Porterhouse, a few fries, onion rings and feta salad.

Get your local list up and we can compare notes yum

I open up with Pastition with chasing Esparagus tips with subtle garlic butter.

Then 7 times out of 10 Fillet steak Strogonoff (Christmas portion), cauliflour cheese, mushrooms, 'stack' of fries (get them to leave remainder of fries in steel bowl next to my plate) feta salad, I don't eat the salad Jill does I pilpher the the feta though...

Cheesecake finale (double width) with cream.

Sometimes washed down with a bottle of Bolly dependent on how many floors I've laid in the week smile

It is the 'Ian Botham' of Restaurants for me like 'Both' wasn't the best but did everything very well smile

Yeah, Gallaghers is sublime although was smashed sadly when ate there years back, Foley's on Times Square in the Rennaissaince Hotel that holds the up The Coke,Samsung etc Neon signs up is incredible. Although it is renown for being a Fish restaurant.

In Vegas, countless. The most memorable meal was in the unlikely Chessecake Factory restaurant in the Caesars Forum Centre.

I knew you would 'wade' in pal as soon as Mustapha's was mentioned on this helpful Guide to learning the Nordschliefe...

I'll let you know when next going for sure! On me too for the excellent informative email you sent me prior to Noble purchase laugh

list will follow later.
