M5 Drifting @ Ring

BoBBoB · 11-08-2008, 01:55 AM

Apologies if this has been posted before, but one day I want to be able to drive like this .....

dxb335d · 11-08-2008, 03:04 AM

That would have been a new M5 back in the day, or a couple of years old. Awesome. I wonder if it was a ring taxi.

BoBBoB · 11-08-2008, 03:11 AM

Not sure, pretty damn cool, I would absolutely love to be able to have the skill and confidence to drive like that.

Just off to drive my (virtual) Catherham round the ring in the wet ....

rFactor and Logitech forcefeedback for the win ....

Awesome car control - so wish I could do that!

E902717 · 11-11-2008, 05:30 AM

What a Legend

So wish i could do that!

A trip to the Nurburgring is a MUST for any car enthusiast

Watching the Ring Taxi's drift around in the flesh is a phenomenal sight

E902717 · 11-11-2008, 09:38 AM

I will have to make that journey 1 day, need to get myself an M3 first.!

Booforty do you fancy lending me yours ??

I would be gentle

booforty · 11-11-2008, 09:54 AM

Yes no problem. What address should I send the keys to?

E902717 · 11-11-2008, 10:21 AM

you give me your address and i will pick it up

booforty · 11-11-2008, 10:24 AM

I'll take your D to Cornwall then

E902717 · 11-11-2008, 10:30 AM

you couldn't handle my D

But because you are letting me have you M3 i will let you but just be careful as you wont be used to the power

booforty · 11-11-2008, 10:37 AM

Actually, I think I'm too scared to take the D

E902717 · 11-11-2008, 10:41 AM

i understand the D shifts

, i will let you take her to Cornwall i trust you

booforty · 11-11-2008, 10:47 AM

No, I'm too frightened...

E902717 · 11-11-2008, 10:54 AM

I'm sure you will be ok if you take it steady

Anyway lets stop talking about my D and more about you M3

booforty · 11-11-2008, 01:22 PM

I'll come clean, my M is actually a 318i

E902717 · 11-11-2008, 03:00 PM

bloody hell! How much did that cost you? It looks just like a real M3

No wonder you want my D to take to Cornwall

booforty · 11-11-2008, 03:02 PM

It cost £19k and the badge only says ///M

MattOz · 11-11-2008, 03:06 PM

Franz Fabian is a bit of a 'Ring legend. Here's a nice pic of hin negotiating Hohe Acht.....

booforty · 11-11-2008, 03:07 PM

He has some serious car control

MattOz · 11-11-2008, 04:45 PM

He's far too talented for my liking. Mind you, the exhaust pipes on his M5 are filthy!

LOL
