No, but they are done now, i will pick them up in the morning, get them mounted and balanced, and drop the car off at schaefer to get the subframe bushings put in, and get an alignment. Hopefully done in time to make it.

Fingers crossed.

Should I go ahead and buy a road tax sticker for Austria or wait till the last Esso before leaving Germany?

2 of my hand-held radios actually worked so I'll bring them along.

The Austrian road tax sticker - are good for ten days (the cheapest one for 8 euros). Ten days for date of purchase. So if you can buy one locally, why not!

Sure bring the radios(and new batteries!). I looked at my PowerZone and they did not even carry walkie talkies. They hadn't for years! So the guy said. lol


I will be driving down to Krusten tomorrow afternoon/evening. I hope the hotel I cam staying at has a WLAN for my tablet. Other wise I might have to find some hot spot to check this thread. Yup, 1addict!!


On a side note... it will be cool up in the mountains. So maybe bring a pull over and/or light jacket.

Its the first city when you come from Munich (A93) and drive direction Innsbruck.

Looks forward to this weekend guys!!

[Swadeness]

I'm thinking I might head south tomorrow and make a run through the Black Forest. Then stay near the Swiss Border and shoot over toward you guys Sat. morning. I'm not sure how early I'll have to leave to meet up with you guys in Imst. I'll let you know tomorrow when I finish planning. Anybody have a good suggestion for a place to stay near Bad Sackingen on the border?

[Rikx1M]

Yeah Dackel...that's the hotel. Tell them you are with the BWM driving club and use my name but register in your own name.

I'm picking up my vignette at ADAC tomorrow...after I sell my 135... Yeap it's sold.

Tomorrow is also wax and rainx time.

I'm also on summer tires...guess we'll need to play it by ear.

Anyone bringing a spare tire? What other emergency gear you guys bringing?

Flashlight, blankets, tire inflator kit, traffic vests for each person in car, walkie talkies.....

Wade, I would not go that way. Go direction Stuttgart and then towards Ulm and then Garmisch. Its 600kms and six hours that way. Try to get past Stuttgart before 4pm otherwise it will be a bear. Or take the A81 all the way down to lake Konstance (BodenSee) and then over to Imst.

I was thinking of taking that route just for the drive and to check out some roads I read about online. I was hoping to leave here around noonish and get in around six. But perhaps I should go straight there? Anybody driven through the black forest?

WoW! He posts! <jk> You will need a autobahn vignette for Austria. But its no big deal buying one at ANY German autobahn gas station before the border. Just look for one of the signs(very top sign! in photo!!)... Verkauf's Stelle...



IF you get the chance... you might pick up a spare light bulb kit for ten euros. They are also sold at any German gas station. You also need a warn vest for every person in the car - and they need to be inside the car!

I will be taking my mini spare donut and jack kit. IF anyone gets a flat, I will have a good rental price for you! :") <jk>

I just put on my PS3 summer tires too. (finally!) so IF its cold we all will just have to take it easy.

The Black Forrest is VERY nice. Very nice roads. Especially the Deutshe Hoch Strasse. It is world famous like Stelvio Pass is. You will have fun on that road. It will be just slow(er) bc you will be driving mostly 100kph bc its all Bundesstrasse.

[Mr Kleen]

mobility kit, blankets, water, 1 safety vest, and that's about all I have...

I'll tell Matt to bring his. I hope he has one.
