You are paying megabucks for a non-descript, black and grey car.

Why?

Rhetorical question, but so was yours.
Just curious as to which part of his full leather with beautiful deviating stitching you find non - descript?

And, how would you make it more?

Well after an 8 hour flight to Iceland then a 3.5 hour flight to Frankfurt followed by a 2 hour sit for a coffee and wait for our 1.3 hour train ride to Stuttgart we have arrived where the Graf Zeppelin hotel is located right across the street from the station! Thank goodness after almost 24 hours of travel from when we left the house. Hotel is very nice. We took a walk down city center that had lots of shops that were closed but many of the side walk cafés were open. Coffee was spectacular! We wandered back to the hotel and had an amazing steak and shrimp dinner at the hotel! Time to finally get some sleep. Fast forward Now that we are awake at almost 1500 in the afternoon it's time for some lunch and relaxation. Less than 18 hours to go until the big moment! Pics to follow

Have a great time. My suggestion for tomorrow: go to factory early so you have longer time to review car. Second suggestion: plan an easy night after you pick up car. My adrenaline was pumping so hard all day I was exhausted that evening. The others who did European delivery on the same day I picked up my car paced themselves better. Learn from my mistake :-) enjoy!

Been trying to upload a picture but internet is very slow at best. It was a very exhausting day. More details to come and yes pictures too.

Itinerary for today is to get on the road and head to the nurburgring. �� Nope we aren't going to drive my car on it.

Glad your trip is off to great start. I rented a car for 'ring from RSR. After getting familiar with track in their car I took mine out for a couple laps the next morning (when there was very little traffic). I had 4000 miles on car by then... but not sure I'd do it with just a couple hundred miles on the odo! Enjoy!
