no i just spent about 30-40 mins on that curb and then moved to another location. There were lots of college kids around and they wanted their pics taken...too bad they weren't chicks

any reason for them wanting pictures? or they just liked your equipment?

kinda figured someone might pick up on that after the comment about bull and badger photographing their junk... But i was hoping people would ignor it

That's awesome TL, hopefully if they get a career going they will actually hire you for some shots. or at least get you some business through word of mouth.

make sure you tell them to copywrite your shots so you can at least get some credit if they use it on the hand out CDs at concerts or something.

Seriously. Copyright, copyright, copyright. Nothing sucks worse than seeing your shot appear everywhere and you got diddly for it.

C'mon now...it is the usual suspects in this forum so you know that type of stuff aint gonna get by us. And for the record I have a shoe fetish as well....problem is I haven't been able to support my habit over here the way I would like. That being said I actually bought two pair and had them shipped to my buddy's house in Germany in anticipation of my mini-vacation at the end of next week(gonna go drive on Hockenheimring and Nurburgring).

Oh yeah those shoes are so ugly that I might even consider buying them...you gotta Accessorize your ass off to make it work though...or not

Nürburgring webcam. On a nice day this area is filled with drool inducing cars.

Oh I will have the camera there with me for sure (need to break-in my new Sigma 17-50mm EX DC OS ). I will be going on a weekday (evening ride 4 laps) so I hope it won't be to crowded. I couldn't get the M3 without being a prior renter or a track instructor so I got the next best RWD vehicle they have a 330i E90 with full suspension, race seats, roll cage and more: http://www.rentracecar.de/english/prices/index.html

For Hockenheim we will probably just use my buddies 135i (Even though his ass needs new tires so he is scared to use it on Nurburgring...FML)

where are you living right now for it to be difficult?

I have to say i'm jealous, that seems like a really run plan, and the 330 will probably be a much better learning experience with optimizing the power for yourself before stepping into an M3 on a course like that..... scary...

I want to nurburg it so bad!!!

Yeah I am in Iraq right now working (my company has a few communications contracts with the good old U.S. military)(couldn't you tell from the few pics I have been able to post ). Pay is pretty good, but the beach here sucks because somebody took all the water....
On a side note I lived in Germany for over a decade and didn't go on the Nurburgring not one time....WTF was I thinking? (I was in my 20's then so I was probably think about the opposite sex...A LOT).

Where at? I lived in Schwabach (south of Nürnberg) for 6 years. After my stint in the Cav, I worked for Central Texas College for a while and then for UPS. I'd give my left nut to be able to live and work there again.

Well I lived in Kitzingen from '93-'94 and then Mannheim twice from '97-'99 and again from '02-'06...I visit every year at least once...my oldest friends are all from Germany(consequences of being a military brat...no real home town, so most of mine are adopted)(thats why I am not from Ohio but I am a Ohio State Fan ) and my best friends still live there(one of which is actually from Nurnberg). I wouldn't give my nuts (still need those for the european girls me and The1 was talking about), but I would definitely take a pay cut to be over there under the GS system with my son (who holds dual citizenship).
