In addition to driving some of the absolute best roads in the world we pulled our usual antics of invading gas stations, occasionally blocking traffic (so I heard...I wasn't there  ) and exchanging gestures with the friendly bicylist...it's all part of "the way we do." Remember, it's not an official tour until you've been honked at or scorned by an old couple in an Audi. After all those kms driving "the way we do" with 20+ BMWs we had zero breakdowns and nobody bent metal. Ironically, after all that we almost lost a 1M to the "Rambo Cow" on the 2nd to last pass of the tour. Those cows were not impressed...maybe they were Mercedes fans.
From the hotels to the route planning putting something like this together is not an easy task. A big thanks to Luc, Rudi and David for all the work putting the tour together.
I think we all took the same photos just with our own cameras. Here are a few of mine.

I agree Wade. I really enjoyed this year's trip. Every year our little "tours" get better than the last one. It's always great seeing old friends each year. Thanks again to everyone who joined us and made memories to last a lifetime.
I'm even thinking ahead to when one day we are all back in the USA... we should meet up and do a little "Euro 1Addicts" thru some US National Parks or mountain ranges.
But remember Wade... "it's for the kids"...
Here are some more pics from our pre-tour...
