They make a beautiful sound. Not loud though on standard exhaust system, would love to hear one on a decent set of pipes

The guys in the V8 m3's originally had E46 M3's which as we all know are very capable cars, but the V8 E92's are a signficant leap forward again. I was often literally left for dust last year when I had my Z4 3.0 (240bhp). So should be fun playing this year. Difference will be I will staring at my gauges, and worrying everytime I press the loud peddle about something going bang/pop/falling off with my Blue bits under the bonnet. But the M3's will just take what ever you can throw at them, and just wan't more, and travel in comfort during it all. |

There was mate E36 & E46 were straight 6's. Why they missed out on E56 66 76 & 86 i dont know? We are now at E90's

I've never understood the German naming conventions, Like why they miss out numbers, or dont follow a pattern. I'm sure there is some Logic to it, but I cant see it..
Look at EXX for Beamers, or the 99X numbers for Porsches.. |

Autobahn should be fun, but I'll probably only be having the odd squirt, prolonged power runs have always ended in disaster for me.

That's a gutter mate! You said that last year though and just about did it.
The barge would be a comfy drive down though and would be no slouch on the autobahn |

The same goes for alcohol. I don't know how it works in Britain, but if you had just one beer here, which is of course under the allowed limit of 0.5%, and get involved in an accident that you haven't caused, you will be made partly guilty, too. Again, I hope you don't think I'm a spoilsport, I do wish you lot as much fun as possible over here. But I know that a lot of people are not aware of this. |

Thank you for the advise Kerstin.
But to clear things up. On a unrestricted road we can go as fast as we like, provided you do not have an accident.

Yup, that's what it is about, Ian. The most important thing to know is that it is the accidents that are not caused by you that could get you in a trouble that you haven't thought about before.

Possibly best way to Auderath: Not sure which way you normally go when you come over. But my brother (he is a long-distance lorry driver and basically lives on the motorways in Belgium, France and Germany) just told me it might be best to go on the E40 to Aachen, then on the A4 towards Köln, at junction 9 on the A61 towards Koblenz and at junction 34 via B262 to the A48 towards Trier and Auderath. He said the other route is filled with loads of road works and one lane traffic. On the route I've just described there are also about two road works but by far not as many as on the other route. Just a hint.

We need to talk about the route there this year. As Kerstin has mentioned her brother is always in the Belgium area he is going to know best. Just a suggestion use the brothers knowledge.

Another hint: Mind the gap. The German police has found another hobby: measuring the space between the cars on the motorway. So better make sure you leave enough space. It can be up to €400 depending on how small the gap is you leave.

Don't underestimate that Hawk of yours, if might not be as quick in the twisties as your ex Evo/Tree, But I reckon the scoob will serve you very well and certainly isn't slow. Having had a E46 M3 that hawk would be very closely matched. But to throw some stats: E46 M3 power to weight of 216bhp/tonne. Hawk STI running 350bhp = power to weight of 245bhp/tonne The E92's have a power to weight of 250bhp/tonne. Classic circa 450bhp has power to weight of around 350bhp/tonne. classic 911 turbo 550bhp power to weight of around 480bhp/tonne. As I've always maintained BHP is great, but after a point, it's all about how much bottle/skill the driver has. I have no illusion that I will be properly spanked by many French cars running half my power on the ring. On paper the E92 isn't that quick compared to a modified scoob... But I've never taken much notice of paper power of figures, as a road car its about the whole experience.. |

Me competitive your dead right I am. Car or bike don't matter to me. I'm a dick when it comes to stuff like that I can't help it. I will be on my very best behaviour this trip as the Scoob must come back.
