Best first reply.

How's......$700 shipped?

That's too bad...Guess I better get over there before it's closed ( yeah right). Almost every village around here is bankrupt and extremely in debt. Dudeldorf, that has maybe 600 German residents, has 1.3 million euros debt...and counting.

What does this mean for the track? Glad I drove it a few months ago.

Some rich American car collector (Jay Leno) needs to buy it and open it to the public.

Wouldn't be surprised if Leno and Seinfeld bought the The Ring.

If I had their money I'd put a bid in.

It would take considerably more than them. Tracks are horrifically expensive to build/maintain and that one is massive. Hopefully they can get enough investors to keep it going. Either way they wouldnt dismantle it, just let it fall into disrepair.

Watch VW buy it....

They just spent their Christmas money on Porsche. They'll have to wait until grandpappy cuts them another check.

Didn't some tools buy the ring few years back? Tried making it into some sort of a tourist attraction with shopping malls and all... Lets hope the new owner is a bit more sensible.
