Post Pics: Ruf Rt12 in the water

Some of my pics from Norway this summer...

A section of the track had water on it to simulate aquaplane, pretty tricky.
Most people wouldn't enter over 45 km/h and make it.

The Ruf Rt12 is on 20"

Update: More pics here: http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12844

The tax in Sweden is 0%, you "just" pay VAT.
The prices here are similar to Germany.
We have SAAB and Volvo here you know, a lot of people working there and they need to seel the cars.

But in Norway/Denmark/Finland the tax is 100-110%, but a few people still drive very nice cars.

Regardless of the VAT, the cars aren't more expensive here than in Germany.

If you want expensive cars, check England for starters.

I'm behind the camera, it's not my car.

And I'm not trying to argue we have high taxes, but we're only 2 steps behind the US in the wellfare league, at place 4.

Income tx and sls tx (vat) are outrages in Sweden. Why do you think all the top tennis players from Sweden in the 80's and 90's, moved abroad? E.g Borg-Monaco, Wilander-Long Island, Edberg-London etc. Swedish socialism and its tax system has an adverse effect on people that want to excell.

Back to the thread, the ruf styling is so perfect on the 997. The nose and rear spoiler match perfectly. Rear bumper looks extremely good too.

Anyone in Sweden taking classes for their licence has to go through a simulated water planing test. Fun stuff and has probably saved countless lives.
