lol..... Last March in my E36 M3 I broke....
The NSF Wheel Bearing
Both Front Brake Pads turned to glass
Both Front Brake Disks warped
The diff started leaking oil (not too bad)
Clutch started slipping when hot/at low speeds (not too bad)
Gearbox - broke 4th gear + gearstick started popping out
The undertray came off on the entry ramp and proceeded to make a disconcerting 'tap, tap tap' at anything below about 50mph for a full lap
Something happened to one of the rear suspension arms, but the German mechanic who got me back on the Ring for a third day said it was 'OK for today, but tomorrow you go home!'....
Hence, I traded it in for the Porsche lol.

mortygttdi:
I thought the Ring was closing due to financial trouble, I was reading MCN a couple of weeks ago and it was saying this new complex they have put in has nearly made them go under? they are not getting the people in to the complex...
Why did they do it in the first place the Ring is there for the track not for people to go meandering about in the middle on foot :scared:
I'd love to do this but just too much on with work,
Darren
Saint Steve:
^^ imagine if this is true Darren, could of been a remake of(National lampoons) The Griswalds trip to Wally world :signLOL:
Hardly surprising in the current climate :sad1:
RagingKileak:
Wow I hope not. So glad I got to do this a few times before I died lol.
It should be in one of those 1000 things to do before you....
Would be a real shame. The Ring is one of those places where there will 'never be another like it' etc.
Regards
Matt
