i agree that i think an r32 if being driven by the right guy would hammer a 172, i spend lots of time on the autobahn half my customers are in germany, and the clio will not pull much on a 130/150 hp deisel passat, let alone the golf with the same engine, and if for a secong u forget to drop it...
i took a mates v5 mk 4 golf round the ring, in 9m40 and i've never heard so much noise from a set of tyres in my life, lol I was convinced it was still squeling on the straights, thats a pedestrian pace but according to the tyres it had had enough, too much roll, and too fat, the people watching...

Re: Discovered my 172 is a Import
Yup trip computer it has, windows i'm not so sure about i think mine are etched and its a early 2003, wheel nuts are none locking, but need a 3 pin key to get the bolts for the centre cap off, if that helps at all.

nuremberg is where they had the war trials after 1945, the sticker you have on the back of your car is the nurburgring, named after the village of Nurburg around where the track is.
Nice looking car though, i like the rally look.
You rolling over the bonnet, Dukes of hazzard style??? I agree no point putting any effort into cleaning yr car in winter, powerwash the salt off, but whats the point waxing etc, unless it sits in yr garage and u dont drive it.
As my ring missile I have a tuned 740hp M5, with tacky bolt on spoiler and the nastiest looking wheels ever. I only ever drive it with all the aids off, not managed a single lap without spinning it at silly speeds, makes me chuckle, as does doing the ring in the Maxi Renault on full tune.
theres a good few peeps on here can shuffle round in under 9 minutes, i'm close to 9 minutes, last lap i did at that pace, made two seperate bits of trim fall off, and had the brakes to the bare metal backing plate, LOL. I dont really wanna go any quicker than that, its fast enough so only the...
