Who is that? Sabine Schmidt?
i thought Sabine was younger and skinnier

i believe under 10 min is a good lap... but it could of been better ... but you also have to take into consideration... that the Ring is one dangerous track

I'm in the Air Force and I'm stationed in Germany. While Uncle Sam usually foots the bill, my G was purchased by a guy who wanted one while he was stationed over here, but he never let it out of the garage. So I bought it from him last December.

A really hot woman who whips an M5 around the Nurburgring all day? Too good to be true.

LOL... i hear that... but i wasnt saying she was hot.. i just thought she was younger and thinner... that lady looks like a pro hefty golf pro or something

I know that I could go faster than 9:59, but I don't think you realize exactly how hard it would be to shave another :30 off that time. While racing on the XBOX and Play Station 2 can be fun, they aren't very good at simulating the true scale of the track and just how fast you are driving. Very recognizable turns in a game are just another turn on the track. That's how I took a shortcut with my SE-R Spec V. I actually got air!

As for Sabine, I've seen her a couple of times before. She isn't very striking, but she can drive pretty fast. When I took this picture she seemed to try and move away as quickly as possible. I get the feeling that she doesn't really enjoy all the attention she gets. All the British are always taking pictures of her, or with her.

Wow, love those TVR. Wish they sell those in the U.S.

Thanks for the pictures. They are very nice. Looks like a fun filled day for sure.
