Thread: neurenburg?

    Default neurenburg?

    I don't think I spelled that right.

    Anyway I am setting here in Austria just a couple of hours away and I can't think of a way to get my company to pay for a car and a couple of fun laps.

    I thought you said you had a potential client that was a track junkie? What better way to close the deal?

    If I wasn't here to install equipment at a datacenter that might fly.

    If you go, get me a t-shirt (XL) and I will pay you for it.

    You need to pick up a part in Nurburgring Nordschleife.

    Ok then try this:

    You decided to buy your significant other, since I don't know which way you swing, some jewelry while you were in Germany. Now since you can't read German and you saw "Nurgerg Ring" on the map you figured that was as good a place as any to get said jewelry. Once you arrived at the jewelry store you figured the paperwork was just standard given you were in Germany and the fee was just so you could use the toll road.

    Haha... toll road!

    if the 121 toll way and DNT were as fun as the Nurburgring, I'd pay every day!

    If you don't find a way to go run a few laps - on your dime or theirs - I will punch you in the nose on sheer principle.

    You better find out a way to get there! They're bankrupt and the future of the 'toll road' is uncertain according to something I read yesterday. I'll try to find the link and edit it in..

    It's Nuerburgring. And yes, it's facing financial issues right now. But someone or some entity will step in and fix things. But I can see it becoming much more expensive to get your ticket to ride...

    "It would not be in anybody's interest to close down the GP track or Nordschleife. The Nordschleife in particular prints money. Other items like the rollercoaster and Ring Boulevard? They're basically red-shirts in a Star Trek episode, or the guy who's going to get married to his gal as soon as he finishes this tour of duty..." (source: BTG)

    +1 on punching you if you are that close and don't go.

    Well get you fists warmed up. Unfortunately does not look like I will have time. We did the first datacenter last night. We have another to do tonight and the 3rd is tomorrow night. We were supposed to do the other 2 tonight but we had to change our plans because of an unforseen issue that cropped up last night.

    I just won't have time on Monday to get a car and drive out there after working all night. I leave early Tuesday morning unless there is a major problem with the new datacenter network equipment. In that case I won't have time either.
