theres a huge new shopping center about a half mile from the Hauptbahnhoff called Milaneo. This months 9elf magazine has a good GT3RS vs GT3 article, given the exchange rate and taxfree status things at the Porsche Museum are cheaper than here at home. YOur PCA card will get you an additional discount, If you get back to the Zeppelin before 5pm you should get a pretty good parking spot, dont forget on the long curve before getting into the Stuttgart theres a radar speed cam

Saturday the car is prepped, likely takes all day. May get back on track Sunday morning but signed up for Scuderia S7 Monday and Tuesday.

Like to read the 9elf article! Not heading back, going straight to the Dorint/pre-register for Manthey day at the Ring tomorrow. I'll look around at the Porsche shop though, good idea. I brought all the little Track layout stickers with me of the tracks we will visit but a proper larger Ring stixker might be appropriate. Oh and a hoodie, it's cold here :-).

Porsche adventures everywhere.

I'm taking in all the beautiful photo's from Rennsport from Germany :-)
Most the GT3 DE cup is staying at the Post Ranch and other cool places with historic 911's doing canyon runs and doing track days after taking it all in.

I should clone myself ASAP!

Peter,

The trick here is to take your wife to lunch at a local beer hall. Then woof down a plate of stomach churning food with a wheat beer chaser. And finally, stink your wife out of the car for the remainder of the day.

My deep wells of experience would suggest: Nuremberg Wurst, Kartoffel Salat, und Scheinderweisse bier. Post a picture of that plate and beer for us.... I need to convince my wife that it's a 'car guy' thing and not just me.

Good luck! And let's try to make Spain work in November. The tracks and roads are calling for you...

Dan

Getting in the car now.

Met Grant, Carmine Red GT4 parked next to me :-)
All luggage fits. Pfew. Less headroom so will be tight with helmet tomorrow but maybe Manthey can thin out the seat cushion.

I love the look.
Now we go to the Ring to find out how it drives :-)

One giant pic per post. Sorry.
