Watch this video. The Driver's Mecca. Someone from UK drove both Donington Park and The Ring in one week and made this documentary

Thanks, I needed that after 14 hours at work. I got to see the F1 race there back in 1971 when I was in the Army. I would like to go back there and also see the F1 race at Spa.

I know how you feel, I want to rescue lots of the old cars no one seems to appreciate any more w/o cupholders and 12 air bags

I used to browse ebay just to be able to list great deals like that on thisoldhonda.org -- if you want that job now I will send you a login

JHM - letters right up there with OEM and NOS (that's not short for nitrous kids)

Wow Glad you and S are OK. I hate driving on interstates... if they did not shorten the drive time so much (and have bathrooms) I would skip them altogether.

Congrats on the Mac - I'm sure you have years of use out of it... if it starts to seems slow then OK then slow again -- do a full backup ASAP!!!

wow! Harry. I looked that up on Wikipedia and it showed that Jackie Stewart won the race. Was this the one in which it was pouring and he won by a full lap over second place?

I've always wanted to go visit there. Published that video on the homepage as well.

One other thing I love about the video is how it goes into some details that are not very well known. I never knew that there was a Porsche line that was separate from the normal line at The Ring.
