The _only_ thing the Nordschleife has going for it is that there's
no one coming the other way.  Doesn't mean you won't find a 2CV round
the next bend.

(For those that don't know - a "2CV" is a "deux cheveaux" - "two
 horses".  Guess how many bhp?  No - a little more.  Not much.)

You're never more than fifteen miles from a castle in Germany.
