    You let that drain a long time, you did put more back in right?

    Good news with my ZX14, I don't even need to take fairings off for oil change :D

    I did coolant, oil, oil filter and diff oil (how's ya diff :) ). Try doing that without removing fairings :p

    Even part of the rear body work has to come off for bleeding the rear brake reservoir.

    Yeah, have to remove the fairings for the coolant, but the oil filter is amazingly accessable.

    I was surprised to find that my rear brake reservoir was under my seat.

    Might be Honda stupidity in design...the rear reservoir is under the seat, but you can't actually get the cap off without removing some fairing. Dumb!

    The Nurburgring looks to have been sold for between EUR 60 and 70 million.

    This week, F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone said he had been outbid for the fabled German grand prix venue, having offered "$50 million".

    Now, the leading business weekly Wirtschaftswoche reports that Miami-based private equity company HIG Capital was the high bidder, having pledged EUR 60-70m for the circuit, amusement park and nearby hotels.

    The report said the Nurburgring trustee had actually wanted a three-digit million sum.

    HIG Capital declined to comment.

    Asked if the Nurburgring will return to the calendar as scheduled next year, Ecclestone told Reuters: "It depends who buys it."

    Nurburgring sold for up to EUR 70m - report

    Especially when you consider the price difference with the USA as well.

    Just to clarify, most RS 2.7s are the "Touring" version, with electric windows, steel bumpers and underseal plus a few other things. Only 7 RHD M471 cars were produced and there are none in Australia. Plenty of standard Touring RS 2.7s here though.
