Going to Spain

Gents and Ladies,

I'm headed to Spain end of summer. I can't decide on what to do with my 1er.
Take it with me as is.
Take it with me but put RBs, IC + Tune before shipping to enjoy over there
Sell it here and buy something else over there.
Or Sell it here and take one of the following vehicles instead:
Classic Hotrod -i.e. 60's/70's firebird, camaro, vette
New Mustang
CTS-V
????????????

I understand I'll have to fuel on the economy for 91 octane.

Glad you're coming back to the area. There's another guy on the forums that is up there.

You want you winter wheels back?

The red is my advice.

I most certainly hope I don't need winter wheels...EVER AGAIN.
But I actually might need some..

I'm happy to be headed back to Europe although that tiny base is waaay the hell out there. Not sure I'll be able to join the 1er crowd for any trips...unless you all plan on visiting Gibralter

So you think the rocket build is the way to go to put those Porsches and Ferrari's in their place? Thing is, I don't think there's any sports cars where I'll be at...aside from seat's and vw's. So really, just a Cobb tune alone would suffice.
There's also no auto hobby shop so the hotrod might be out unless I can find a double garage place so I can take my tools.
What to do?

Do it! I drove 21hrs from Bitburg GE to Gibraltar just to look at the ocean from Europa Point. I couldn't tell you how many times I fell in love during that travel...all along the coast. The tolls start to add up and some stretches of the highway seem like going across Texas, but it's still memorable and any beach that you decide to stop at will be

Damn, no auto hobby shop?!?!?!?! That sucks. You must be going to one of those places.......

I still would do it. After I got your winters the car has gone from mild mannered to a 410WHP dissapointment tool for AMG/M3/some Porsche owners in Stuttgart.

Even a guy I met with a 480HP 5 liter mustang was shocked when he tried to jump on me and i wound up walking on him He saw me the next day wondering if I had done a engine swap.

Only about 2 hrs from Maron. 45 min from Rota. Its my get away weekend spot. Just far enough to be a mini trip but can get back quick enough if I dont wanna stay.

Now you know, I will be hitting you up for the party and food spots.

Hey, do they sell Doner Kebaps in that area? I miss those things hardcore.

I brought back a ton of wine with me when I left Europe and I still have a bunch I no longer know what I'll do with it since I'm going back. No way I can drink it all.

I've been playing with the idea of taking a trip through Spain sometime this summer. I wouldn't mind getting stationed there as long as it's not Moron....its depressing there.
