You think she's good in a van, you should see her in an M5!

[theFONZ]

Is there any videos of said M5?

[speeder]

That show is the best.

[Mulhollanddose]

pfff...woman driver.

[speeder]

You would be her b!tch @ the 'ring.

The only way you are going to know for sure is if the rich Pelicans send me there for a month (I need to get to know the track a little), set me up in a car, and set up the date for me and the feisty little German.



Put your money where your mouth is.

I pledge $1. Of course Mull, she would probably lap you. Then you'd have to deal with the embarassment of being out-driven by a girl. I wouldn't want to do that to you.

Fonz, go to google video and search either BMW or M5. There's at least one good one of her in a new E60 M5 doing a lap. She runs the "Ring Taxi", taking tourists around the track in an M5. That's why she's so good, she drives the Ring all day, every day.

According to Ms. Spitz, she "was sweating everywhere"...

I have a towel.

She's awesome. This is her ride from a couple years ago:



Passed us like we were standing still - and she had three passengers. (I'm the passenger in the Miata - he was an awesome driver who also owns a 951)

[onewhippedpuppy]

Anybody remember what she charges? I've heard before, and it's not cheap.

[Mr Beau]

It's not her but BMW that runs the 'ring taxi. I think its around 300 euros for a lap regardless of the number of passengers. A quick search should provide more specifics if you're interested.

[legion]

Is that e300 per person or for the whole car?

[Mr Beau]

For the whole car.

A search for Sabine + M5 turns up these . . .

I love the part where she is lapping bikes in a van!

[LeeH]

The motorcycles really seem to get in the way. There's video of Sabine driving a 997 Cup car at the Ring in the Rain here:

It makes the BMW video look slow.

I think she goes through a set of tires a day in the taxi. I love the video of her in the van trying to rub the gas pedal through the floorboard.
