Bombing the Furka Pass...the 4lite at full wail.

I second that.

Nice to hear about some one's adventure rather than someone barking about values

Just asked my brother who was vacationing in Geneva at the same time. He saw your trio on the Furka!

Chris3963

Wow, small world...hope we weren't doing anything crazy at the time

SToronto

Truly is. He said you were going quickly. He saw some McLarens at another point as well. Was amazed at how fast the corners can be taken. He had a 1 series diesel rental, he had a good time there. I hope to go sometime!

After Timmelsjoch we head to St Anton for an overnight pit stop before driving to Stuttgart to visit the Porsche Museum...where else! It was my first time after living in Europe for 7 years.

Lost one of our three drivers along the way as they had to head back home so GT3.1 is being trucked back home across Europe.

The Museum is an impressive set up...but overall I was maybe just a little disappointed. I felt there were some gaps in their display. Interested in comments on this from others who have attended.

I was hoping that they would have a year by year display of 911s so that you could easily see the progression in design and technology. Also, a sequential display of all RS cars from 2.7 onwards would have been great to see because not all RS cars were on display.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it and happy I went.

Next stop Leipzig for two days on the track.

BTW, I have no idea why some photos are not rotating correctly.

Leipzig for the weekend. A bit quieter than on previous visits with only 6 groups so we had a large amount of track time. Over 500kms in two days.

Now finally back home. 14 days. 4,800 kms. 17 mountain passes. 2 track days. 8 hotels. 4 memorable restaurants. 6 great wine bars. 5 truly impressive new wine discoveries. 3,500 euro in gas across 3 cars. 3 sets of trashed tyres. Top speed 282kph...and no speeding tickets!

Now that's what I call a great holiday!

Game over.

That's commendable Chris. Your car(s) wear(s) those dusty wheels with pride!

Makes me wish I was still in the Alps. But your Alp Tour seriously trumps mine in every respect !

You shall now be named Hannibal !

So how about a Fair owners review of the .2 ?

Timmelsjoch now requires winter tires, according to update today. I think I'm going to have Porsche install winter wheel set upon my ED GT3 in 2 weeks as precaution. No track days planned, might as well chew up their tires for a few weeks! Great pics again Chris, jealous.
