Car: VW Golf IV 1.6 Rep Power: 14     |  ADAC Charity Challenge 2008 (56K warning!) Alright, as stated here before, Eye-Q and I went to the ADAC Charity Challenge 2008 today and what follows, are the pics and vids I took on this very special day. For your information: The ADAC Charity Challenge is an event, where sports car owners meet and offer rides in their cars around a small race track, if you make a donation. You could donate 10, 20 or 30 Euros (depending on the car) and get a ride for 7 or 8 rounds around the track in the car of your choice. This is what it was looking like:
As you can see, there were a Bugatti Veyron and a Gumpert Apollo, undoubtedly the stars of the show. But the event also contained many more dream cars you don't see every day, not to mention seeing them in action. I will post all the vids and pics I took in time, so better keep your bandwidth free  >>Update 1<< First pics and new vids:               
>>Update 2<< More pics and one more video. That'll be all for today. The rest tomorrow

Car: '94 Audi 80 B4 2.0E Rep Power: 9 | That's a Lomax, it's a kit car based on the Citroen 2CV (better known as "Duck"). @ MacGuffin: in addition to that you wouldn't fit in any of the cars there besides the american road cruisers...

Car: '94 Audi 80 B4 2.0E Rep Power: 9 | Well, it's from the eighties so red leather was "In" at that time.  Times change but a prototype is nonetheless a prototype so in my opinion it's not carbage.

Car: VW Golf IV 1.6 Rep Power: 14 | If one of the cars there would fit into "carbage", then it would be this:  I have no idea what made that guy think he belongs there with his, ahem, creation. It didn't seem to be tuned and he actually got black-flagged for being too slow around the track.
