[Rikx1M]

Build is 17-23 Oct so 1M should be here around beginning of November.

Dave...you have no idea the anticipation...it's eating away at my body fat...I'll be 20 pounds lighter by then so JK135i...that means I'll be faster!

@ Rick, do you want me to post on the French forum (French speaking community i.e. Belgium, France and Switzerland) about the trip?

IF SO....... is there something other than the date settled yet? I mean destination, how many days trip and so on....

Do remind me to buy you a beer on your birthday, you youngster

I'm OK with you posting on the French forum but as most of us use English as the international language.....I know the French can get touchy about their language......you should put that the notice that anyone who goes...please be able to speak English to maximize our fun and friendship and sharing of ideas.

Date to arrive 15 June...drive 16 June, do some side trips and a different hotel on the 16th, depart afternoon/early evening 17 June. Location is as the post: Davos to Stelvio and then afterwards on Sat afternoon/evening and Sunday, we can decide to go do other runs or other activities. Maybe rally around Lake Constance or???? Any ideas?

See: http://g.co/maps/7zstk

David wants to do Grossglockner which I would also but I think that's another trip as it's over 4 hours from Stelvio. See: http://g.co/maps/3udep

Distance 265km Est. traveltime 4.30hrs. wich in reality will be aprox. 7/8 hrs.
Crossing 6 passes: Lucmagnier-Gothard-Furka-Grimsel-Susten and Oberalppass

Me likey this route!!! Will definetly need to carry the car charger for this!!!

[JK135i]

Rick I'd hate to say it but I'll still be faster. I'll just be coming back from a deployment so I'll have parts waiting for me.... yes that includes brakes!!! I'm pretty much full bolt on already so I know I'm over 400 HP and waaay over 400 lb/ft. Even tho I'll be getting the Hamman springs I have no doubt that you will have the better suspension.

By the way, welcome to world of TWIN turbo instead of single.... enjoy the ride

[JK135i]

Just a thought, do we need to bring our passports for this trip?

[Rikx1M]

Yes...also I believe an international drivers license as our USAREUR/USAFE licenses are only good in Germany.
