Rock Festival in The Ring

Was surprised when I was tents set up at the entrance of the Nurburgring. Apparently there's a rock festival going on in the Ring for the next coming days. Similar to the Download festival, they've got rockers lined up for 3 days, metal heads are allowed to camp within the Ring and worship their favourite bands for these 3 days.

Had a glance of the line up and I must say these people are sad.. I thought the line up for download festival was bad already with Dream Theater back down on the second stage and freaking Linkin Park and bloody hell emoish My Chemical Romance is up on the first stage opening. These people lined LP and Good Charlotte on the first stage, with slayer back down on second stage, Megadeth on the Third. What happened to real rock being on first stages and emo pieces of craps down on third? Sad world..

PS: Was reading the rules behind the Download Festival tickets and this got me laughing.
"WARNING - prolonged exposure to loud noise may cause damage to your hearing"
A warning from a rock festival. Ironic.


Automotive update:
M3 meets M DCT

Standard M3's now comes with an option of the 6-speed manual transmission or the M DCT, a 7-speed paddle shift dual clutch transmission made by GETRAG. Similar to the SMG in the M5 and M6, only faster. It is expected to push the M3's already impressive 0-100km/h time from 4.8s to below 4.5s. The Germans went nuts. Possibly due to the odd music they listen to..
