Got a New Sticker for the Cavy :-) (56k...???)
Monday, October 08, 2007 11:16 AM
What do you think?



Not what you thought I bet! Even got the wife to join us today and she earned herself a sticker too!



Headed up to the Nürburgring today for those who don't know what the sticker is...those that went are...Jerry (red Camaro), Johnny (black Firebird w/LS2!), wife (Mini S), Linda (blue Miata) and of course myself. Didn't get any outside shots of the Cavy while on the actual course but got a few from the inside (actaully the wife did while riding shotgun!)!

It was a blast other than I hit major brake fade about half way through and couldn't push the car as hard as I had started! Still ran it pretty hard though!!

Expensive as all get out too...$95 or so (64 euros) for 4 laps! That's ok...only get a few chances in life to drive on a course like this! We burned up all our laps and I even took the Miata for a lap and rode one lap with the wife! She did awesome and had the Cooper S smoking the turns!

All in all...an outstanding day! Racing cars and the wife joined in to boot! What more can you ask for?

Enjoy!









This is me coming off the track in the Miata...Jerry following me...he never did catch me!!




See the blue Miata...then two cars back the red Camaro? LOL!



A couple cars I saw there...actaully there were millions and millions of dollars worth of cars there...I mean M I L L I O N S!!!!! Some of the nicer ones...

That sounds like a blast. It would seem well worth the money to me. Have you modded the cooper yet or is it a blast right from the facctory like I have heard? Do you know what it runs for 1/4 mile times? Ironically my friend and I were just talking about this earlier today.

The Cooper S is stock...I'll never modify another car in my lifetime!!!! Although...I am trying to get the wife to get the John Cooper Works done to the car before we leave Germany!

Never ran it in the 1/4 either...stock I think they run about 14.5 or so.

Thanks too...it was a blast!

This is one of the greatest posts ever on the org in my opinion, totally not what I was thinking it was going to be!!

I would have been in a wonderland either just on the track, or looking at all of those cars anywhere in the world. But to be on The Ring with those others cars is like a dream.

You sir are my current hero, I bet that was one hell of a blast!

I was just thinking yesterday how much I want to drive this course, but sadly Gran Turismo 4 is as close as I'll get for a while. Sweet pics, I'm definitely jealous. Love those TVRs!

The Cavy has so much wax from the past show season it simply can't get dirty it seems!! The Cooper S paint is actaully very nice!

I paid it and at the time thought...damn, that's pretty high! But after just one lap I didn't even remember how much it was!

There are a few others...owned by Americans for the most part but some of the Europeans do own them.

No idea? I'd not even be able to give you a guess...I was watching my rmps and trying to hit my marks. No clue but I do plan to try it again before I leave here so I'll see if I can get some times then.

I actaully get told that quite often....but not sure why? There are no European Js out there so not sure what it means but thanks!

Thanks Joe!

I'd say the Cooper was faster. It has LSD and a little better power band than the Cavy...not to mention no 300 pound system in the trunck to pull/throw around!

Believe it or not...I thought the same thing but it's not even close! While I knew the track somewhat, to be out there throwing your car into a corner at 80mph plus, hitting the gears as hard as possible and smelling your brakes burn off the car...it really isn't the same effect at all!
