Talking Falcon-laps-the-nurburgring
Not sure if this has been seen on this forum before .. but this is interesting...

http://www.caradvice.com.au/2939/fal...e-nurburgring/


I always fantasised about driving one of the lime green Falcons on the autobahns and motorways of Europe seeing all the locals checking it out and trying to figure what it was. The owner of this car does it all the time..

Yeah remember that one. Certainly picked the right colour, silver would have been lame to take over there!

Well as i own the falcon you are writing about i thought i would have my say.

david d, 9 mins around the ring and i will soon have it down to 8.30 / 8.45.

mister two, yes it is a jersey registered car only one in europe, you are wrong with the wealth of people there are plenty of numskulls like you here, the speed limit is 40mph, the car only does trackdays so no need to drive it here.

sam the insurance is £ 780.00 pounds or $1900 aus dollars not bad eh.

WILL COOPER, YOU ARE A #@$^

CHATTERS. I HAVE JUST LOWERED IT TO 100MM ROAD CLEARENCE SWAYBARS REPLACED, CAMBER ADJUSTERS SO SHOULD STOP THE ROLL.
then you get the one from the kid
