However, if you want to drive the amazing roads/passes in Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy then its totally worth it. I am currently in Austria right now on vacation with my wife. We haven't been near a large city since landing in Munich. No hassles, no parking issues, just relaxation and amazing drives. Just 2 days ago drove Stelvio and at the top had 2 next generation Cayennes Park next to me. Spoke to the Porsche guys awhile, nice folks. They particularly liked the pics of my RS, and that my wife had a Cayenne!

We travel to Europe a lot, can certainly recommend some nice drives and places to stay where parking is plentiful and people are friendly.

So in summary, you should absolutely do ED if possible.
I could not agree more that there are many great drives in Europe. On more than one occasion I have considered ED. I just wouldn't do it in my brand new GT3.You're doing right. Renting a nice car and getting maximum enjoyment.

Zuufenhausen, Austria, Switzerland, Stelvio to Como

You can do ED at Porsche year round except holidays &

What Nick meant to say is once you have done it once you
might not need to do it everytime you buy a new Porsche
or visit Europe. Nick is an attorney, not a diplomat...so
please excuse his bluntness!

But even Nick knows that European Delivery should be
in everyone's 'bucket list'!

'Sound of Music' Tours? Disden, you are my type of guy!
I have been doing those tours for decades & enjoy them to
the max every time. The Porsche & Piëch families, who reside
in beautiful Zell am See & vicinity, are fellow Österreicher:



And I would dissapoint some of my readers if I did not end
this post with a musical tribute that captures the mountains

oddly Eduardo I have been staying in the Zell am See area for the last 3 days! Wonderful area, having a nice relaxing time. Every road is amazing.

I have done two Euro deliveries. Each was unique adventure. I have still not made it to the mountain passes yet.

BMW experience was fantastic, Porsche (Liepzig) experience was completely different trip.
