Thank you ..... your roads are fantastic. We were very surprised at the consistency and good state of repair of the alpine roads. Since you know where to "let her loose" I am sure you will have great fun.

I can tell you that I have been especially thirsting for ED since the Welt was built and you won't regret the decision to do a ED. I only wish I had tagged on a few extra days ....
Bloody fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

In an upcoming post I have a picture of the drop off and yes, it was hard to "walk away". It looks like she will be on a ship (Elektra) this week and it says arriving somewhere around the 11th of September - sounds way to quick but I'm OK if that happens. I will be happy if it gets here to drive the fall season ... turning leaves with VO should be photo opps!

Congratulations ..... make sure you stop for lunch/beer at Zell am See along the way ... neat little town with great views. Look forward to your post!

I agree - my son is truly still searching for the right adjectives to describe the experience. I can honestly say that one of the other great parts of the trip was the conversations and hospitality of the people in each country .... cars are a universal language and the 1M starts plenty of conversations. Have fun!

LOL ..... it was fun taking the victory lap ... love the way the car ecchoed in there.
Thanks for sharing your special collection experience with us

Thank you - I was really unsure of the color since I had not seen it in person but as the say "now I'm in love" ... lot's of personality!
Jealous, by comparison, Aussie deliveries are definitely underwhelming!

I hope you can make the trip next time you get a new toy ... it is worth it!
Regards to all!
