Leaving for germany tomorrow...
 
To pick up my dad's new Porsche. Needless to say i am pretty excited, no strike that i am really f'ing excited. I don't have the whole itinerary right here but basically it we are going to be driving on alot of autobahns into alot of different countries. Also a little stop at the Nurinburgring will be made on the second to last day of the trip should be a great end.

I may have internet acess over there but i highly doubt i will be worrying about emails or forums or any other internet based things.

The car:
Its an 07(i don't think its an 08 but i could be wrong) 997 Carrera 2 S cabriolet. It is white in color with a blue top and blue interior. The wheels on the car are going to be the 997 turbo wheels so it should look pretty cool. There are alot of other options but i can't even think about them now. You won't have to wonder what it looks like when i get back because i am sure i will have about 10000 pictures of the car alone. Some of you may ask why go to Germany they have Porsche dealers here. Well its called European delivery and they basically deliver you the car at the factory you take a tour see the cars being built then you go and drive it where ever you want then you take it back they put in on a boat and in a few weeks its in the states.

Well everyone see you all in about a week and a half. Anyway off to pack.

Goals to accomplish on this trip:
1. Ride in ring taxi.
2. Break 150mph legally.
3. Scare this ish out of my dad.

Big dave(barry's dad) doesn't go to hostels lol.

But don't die on track is a good addition.

Have fun bro.

Seriously, be careful. Even though it's legal, 150mph is ****ing fast.

Have a great time though, take a in car vid of the ring taxi.

WhiteXFire 06-09-2007 12:51 PM

Damnit, you suck. I thought about doing this for my car (it's an automatic 7% off MSRP), but I couldn't this time. Pick mine up while you're over there!!

You going to Stuttgart? When you enter stuttgart you will see unfinished porsche chassis above the street going from one side of the factory to the other.

There are some crazy cars in that town. I saw an F430 race a GT3 through a tunnel. No joke, sounded amazing.

TROLL 06-09-2007 01:46 PM

Hello from germany. Not staying on for long where we are is mad expensive for internet. Anyway its really nice over here. It is also very cool seeing all the cars they talk about on top gear in person. The best funniest moment so far is the taxi driver coming back from the airport going like 120 cause we were telling him it was our first time here. Anyway that is about it for now we are leaving frankfurt soon and goint to stutgart or however you spell it. And tomorrow morning we pick up the car woot woot. I will probably check in a few days from now.
