With two laps of the Nurburgring under my belt it was time for Eds go, Yes we did only buy two laps originally but unfortunately one lap didn’t scare me enough so I decided to do it all over again, alright I made a mistake and went sailing past the exit at 120 mph. Back in the car park I recovered my breath in the fantastic German sunshine as Ed went off to buy another lap of the Ring and then it dawned on me, I would have to go round again! This time with Ed at the wheel!! Sorry Ed nothing against your driving it was just the possibility of an under garment malfunction, I’ll let the video do the talking

Back in the car park we assessed the damage to the car, our laps on the ring were scary but seemed very slow, but a look at the tyres gave a very different story, they had got so hot that the rubber had started to roll off them, they had been a bit on the used side before we’d left Blighty and I thought we may have to replace them before the end of our journey, (Monza seemed like a good time to change them, it, but that’s another story) I’m not saying we were going fast but we had pushed the old girl hard.
It was past noon and we were absolutely buzzing, so much so that we completely forgot to look in the gift shop (I know what your thinking “GIFT SHOP, YOU TARTS”) We parked up on the road just outside and allowed the Celica to cool down, We noticed a BMW parked two or three cars back also cooling down, though he’d obviously pushed his car harder than us as the steam coming from his car was black! It was on fire, another by stander emptied his co2 fire extinguisher into the engine bay with little effect, I pulled my fire extinguisher from its bracket and emptied its contents into the engine bay of the Beemer and for a moment I thought it was out
