thats epic. i want my car to shoot flames!

JK135i · 02-01-2012, 11:35 AM

no cats at all, no muffler and meth. You'll also need advil for long drives on the autobahn.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

That's LOUD!!!!!!

We can call ourselves "Meth Gangsters" 'cause i'm also FBO+meth -FMIC

Rikx1M · 02-02-2012, 03:43 AM

As exciting as JK's flamethrower is...we should start a new thread for it and shoot some actual pro-grade video which I can do....at our next gathering which is probably Guys and beer day....

As for Stelvio, looks like we have about 10 cars.... Should be a blast. Any suggestions for side trips/drives? Anyone look at the link and thought, Romania 2013...here we go?

JK135i · 02-02-2012, 07:56 AM

Rikx is that 10 1 series cars or 10 cars including the extras that are coming with?

I will just tag along with jk135I if I can keep up haha

135i OREO · 02-02-2012, 09:12 AM

Im driving down from Spangdahlem. I'll prob stay in a hotel in Stuttart the night before so I dont have to drive 10 freaking hours in one day.

JK135i · 02-02-2012, 09:56 AM

Just a thought, we could all meet at Edelweiss lodge. Thats probably about the same cost as a reasonable hotel in Stuttgart. Nothing like starting the morning in the Alps!

oh yeah and Steven, I won't be hauling ass the whole way there cause once we leave Germany its gas out of pocket.... no Esso stations! Gotta think of gas conservation to save a little money unless some spirited driving is needed.

Rikx1M · 02-02-2012, 11:09 AM

I thought about bringing a gas can if any of us spirited drivers run out...

JK135i · 02-02-2012, 11:13 AM

good call, I'll just run purely on meth then

:

Elsabor67 · 02-02-2012, 11:59 AM

I'll be bringing some "happy" juice for the "extra" tanks.

Thats a good idea. I'd be down for that.

That does sound like a good idea also.

Rikx1M · 02-02-2012, 02:02 PM

Would it make it easier if we start in Davos instead of Italy?

JK135i · 02-02-2012, 02:49 PM

the place that you said you were looking at hotels by stelvio is about 2.5 hours from edelweiss. i think stelvio is still the good starting point.

if you enter austria via kiefersfelden/kufstein i could join you from there - since my licence plate reads ku(fstein)

or would you rather enter via garmisch/mieming - then i would come to mieming/reutte...

I have to realy look at a map as see what route is best. When I went to Stelvio last summer I just drove South to Munich, then to Innsbruck and then over on the A12 autobahn until almost "Zams" and then took the road #180 thru "Nauders" where that old carved castle in the rocks is and towards Stelvio from there. I think once you cross into Italy the road #180 changes to "SS180".

On my way back North(to DE) I went down that gravel road of Stelvio Pass... and into Swizerland(CH, Schweiz). Although that little village was pretty - I am not that crazy about Swizerland bc of their (high)prices for everything.

That gravel road was a PITA too.

Ahhhh... I see where you are! Yes, I would probably just drive right by your area in Kiefersfelden/Kufstein. I knew that city sounded familar!!

Lets wait to see what (and where) everyone else is coming from. But I think for myself this route via Innsbruck would be best.

Grey Dove · 02-04-2012, 07:37 AM

Since you guys will be staying at the Edelweiss Lodge in Garmish and its only US mil. folks I believe .....I'll join u all at Malles Veneto or somewhere else

When are you planning the Stelvio climb?

David did you take the umbrailpass, cuz the gravel section is just a small part of the trail or am I wrong.

The gravel section was on the way down the pass into Swiss(CH). Yea... it was short section but nerve racking.

Maybe 1 or 2 km's or so. Slow going(30kph) for me down that pass.

At the top of the Stelvio Pass... after Bormio... (peak)... the road split. Most people drive LEFT going further down the pass into Italy. But you could also turn RIGHT and go into Swiss(CH). That is the way I drove back home. After I made that right... the road turned into a gravel section and then into a quaint small village. It was a short drive from there back into Italy and Austria.

Here are some pics of the road after Bormio where I turned RIGHT down that gravel section...
