Top Run Rally Party and Nurburgring visit

What a crazy weekend !

I was invited to attend a party this weekend in Germany by some friends. It was actually a Pre-Party event for the Top Run Rally. You can find out much more about Top Run from GTSpirit at
http://forum.gtspirit.com/top-run-f64.html

or from GT3000 at
http://www.gt3000.com/

It's a KILLER rally covering something like 9 countries in a week and a half or so !!!! Talk about a chance of a lifetime !!! Unfortunately I can't join in this time around...

Saturday started off with a visit to the Nurburgring (Not part of the party but still fun), where I met Stefan. It cost me a Cappucino afterward, but he took me for a couple of accelerated laps in his GT-3RS.





This showed up as well..




Now back to the Party... These are true car guys, and just so happens they really know how to throw a party!!! - And when the reason for the party is a Pre-Rally Celebration, well, it just goes crazy... Although I have to say being at a party where one of the drivers owns a Bugatti Veyron is a little intimidating for a guy like me !! The others will be driving Audi S-4 (RS??), 2 Lamborghini Gallardo(s), 997 Turbo, GT-3 and such... A couple of the guys were trying HARD to get me to ship my little ol' girl over to participate ! Wish I had an extra big stash of cash set aside for it !!!

Come on now, don't go posting that stuff now !!

Seriously, these guys were a lot of fun to get to know. First we gathered at the hotel bar, met each other, and had a couple of beers. Then, because the group was so large, we split up to 3 different restaurants. I had some fantastic venison for dinner with a great red wine picked out by Michel. This was probably the best part of the night for me. We sat around for around 4 hours just BS-ing and getting to know each other.

Plus they have some fun stories. The last Rally they were talking about was Carbon Black, sounds like it was fun !

The club was a fairly hard-core techno dance club. I happen to really like that kind of music so it was very nice. Though it didn't make having conversations very easy !! So that's where the point and shoot photo ops came in !! The best part about the party was that the GT3000 guys had arranged it so that we had our own entire section roped off, with free drinks, beautiful girls serving them, and had arranged for the dancers...

(and YES, I behaved myself !!)

again, check out their sites !!! They really are good guys.
