A letter from OK Speed Marketing stating that they have finally received my money from the wire transfer and included in the envelope was a voucher for the ride in the Ring-Taxi. So I went ahead and booked a ride with them on May 4th at 3:00 PM. So we'll have to leave early from Berlin to make it to Nurburg in time.<br /><br />So good things come to people to wait and take chances! :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09462156169714023471noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368577646688587676.post-80975099472814400852008-04-14T01:22:00.000-07:002008-04-14T10:28:35.432-07:00Good News / Bad NewsGood News:<br />I was able to finally reserve a BMW Ring Taxi ticket at 1:01 AM this morning.<br /><br />Bad News:<br />The site doesn't show any availability on May 4th anymore.<br /><br />Good News:<br />I didn't pay for the ticket yet, I get 2 weeks of grace starting today.<br /><br />Bad News:<br />If this doesn't work, I don't get to ride the Ring Taxi.<br /><br />Good News:<br />If I buy the ticket anyways, I can sell the ticket on eBay to make a small profit.<br /><br />3/2 = Good news wins!<br /><br />UPDATE:<br />Good News:<br />Availability has opened on May 4th.

I went to the <a href="http://ring-taxi.bmw-motorsport.com/02-333E5E213F323165E84E03E5A0CCDE18/ring-taxi/en/index.html">BMW Ring Taxi</a> site today and saw that they have openings for rides on May 4th. Now all I have to do is get a ticket which goes on sale on Monday, April 7th at 1AM PDT. I'm pretty excited that I "might" be able to get ring taxi tickets....they go for 185 Euros...ouch.<br /><br />For those of you who don't know what the Ring Taxi is, let me try to explain it to you. A professional driver takes you for a joy ride in a modified BMW M5 with a V10 507HP engine around the <a href="http://www.nuerburgring.de/BMW-ring-taxi.352.0.html">Nurburgring </a>which consists 73 curves, 300 meters elevation and at a length of 21km in about 10 minutes.
