GP behind M5 Ring Taxi at Nordschleife Nürburgring

Was over on you tube the other day and found some sweet videos of a GP owner at the NordschleifeNürburgring behind an M5 RingTaxi. This is the first time I add myself as a Subscriber. I have been watching these videos several times already and just can't get enough. Here is one video, check it out and subscribe to frigo1966.
But Notice what dirty scoundrel Taxi Driver does at 1:17 to 1:31

No need to have 505 HP.... :-)
LOL

I would have loved to have driven that course when we were in Germany in September. Just couldn't get my traveling partners to go there...we were only a few miles away too.

I took a sunday evening drive the other day to Alice's Restaurant in Woodside nestled atop the Santa Cruz Mountains. I was thinking of these videos as soon as I got on Hwy 17, then Black/Bear Roads, and the 35 ultimatley the Skyline. There was nearly no cars other that a Subie, 350Z a caravan of vintage 2002ti, and several sportbikes,and the few in front of me were nice enough to pull aside. The previous ubertwisty roads are not difficult to go fast its like a autocross couse, but the Skyline is more highspeed sweepers, those vids gave me the "waybos" to take them flat. Great food there too btw and great conversation with car guys there too. Someone had a full stripped track car (Datsun 510) with slicks, rollbar, extinguishing system, camara and acquisition system, it was quite the conversation piece in the parking lot.
