What time did the VXR do....

[Daimo]

Nurburgring (?SP) in? I thought it was meant to be about a 8 min 30 odd secs.
Does anyone know what time it done it in?
Cheers

ROFL!!!
Wonder if any Ford/ST forums have joke sections.....
Hey, have I told you the one about the Focus ST?
It's SO slow that a people carrier is quicker!!!

[Dave]

The driver of the astra OPC must have been a hell of a lot better than a lot of the others, isn't really a fair comparison.
