Well, since YOLO's are apparently now the theme, here's the very first picture of one of our cars on the Ring that I found:

(not hotlinking those images because of copyright stuff...)

Scanning for more now, will just link everything I find here as well.

OK, for the first proper photos of the thread, have an aerial view of the campsite this morning:

The weather didn't allow for nearly as much flying as last year, so no FG shenaningans this time... Although a spontaneous thing happened this morning that was potentially even more epic, but of that I only took a video, and will post that up later :)

Alright, here we go. I didn't take many photos, all of these are from saturday.

First, have a look at the campsite saturday morning, not many people around, but most/all tents up and most cars present somewhere.

Thomas went to get some breakfast, or something, so of course, this being the Eifel and everything, it started to rain. hard. Thomas' solution: just park right at the party-tent. Only thing missing: public's deal-with-it-glasses.

At some point, Mikko started work on a croatia vinly...

... which was to adorn the (di)zastava.

Galantti showing off his brightly coloured french hatchback appreciation society uniform:

at some point, after everyone was up and fed and watered and whatnot, it turned into the usual ringmeet: standing around doing god knows what.

Later, at the Nordschleife entrance. French cars coming and going... also a crazy japanese yolo-swift!

Finally, more finalgearian standing around... some sitting also. Ministry of silly walks hats.

That's not supposed to happen, is it?

 
You have become celebrities here in Croatia driving that thing on the Ring.. Automotive forums, facebook - everyone is applauding you! :bow:

That's nice! Lap was filmed with GoPro and handheld camera, soon to come I hope. We had problems with 4th gear for the first half and therefore had to coast down Schwedenkreuz and Fuchsr?hre. Laptime was 15:20.10 btg.

Car is home in the garage now awaiting mild restoration work ASAP.
