Going to Nurburgring!
I just got a call from a guy (I work at the Vodafone Callcentre) and he said he's just on his way home from the ring. I told him I envy him so much and he said they're going back in 4th of January, so if I'm interested, they'll be happy to take me with them 
this guy is from some company testing Merc and DAF truck on the testing ring right next to Nurburgring (where Komotar was testing Audis).
so here comes the question:
is it worth going even to see truck testings and hope there will be some supercars? it'll be January, so I'm not optimistic at all 
atleast I'm taking my camera with me, so... Truck Photoshoots on JW? 
what you guys think?

If the NS is closed, I'd say it's not worth the trip...

it might be worth it to develop this contact/friendship IMO  even if its boring trucks... regardless, you'll learn a lot. I say go.

You got a point on that one, but if those new friends will only visit the region with trucks when the NS is closed, I'd say he should find better friends
But as suggested, check out on their website to see if the North loop is open.. if snow isn't arrived yet, it might still be possible to do a couple of laps!

If I were you I woud go there, trucks might be boring, but I think you can have a lot of fun and learn a lot. And maybe you are able to bring some spyshots back home.

Well, the question is: do you have something else to do those days? If not, just go, it can't be that bad afterall
