I took a Ring favourite down there - an E39 M5. Pretty bog standard and was on the way back from a European jaunt with a couple of mates (2007). I only tracked the M5 on one separate occasion - the brakes are simply not up to the job. But an absolute awesome car, nonetheless. There was a few being chucked the ring at the same time and one was being driven particularly fast. I went and had a chat with the owner later on-he had upgraded the suspension and brakes which explained a lot why he could chuck the car into the corners the way he was doing.
I no longer own a car - just rely on my wife's car now (a spec B Scoob Legacy so no slouch) and am in the process of selling the race car in my sig, which I am resigned to getting FA for. I don't have the time needed to spend on looking after it. IMO needs an average of a day a week to be spent keeping it tip top if being raced regularly (plus race days on top).
Still a petrolhead - just a bystander these days.
It's a weakness of all the M cars. Awesome in every single way, except the brakes.
Likewise here - a bystander petrolhead. My only car is a battered Mundano Estate now. Diesel!
