I owe so much of my successful trip to the wonderful members of this site. I scoured the Euro Delivery threads for months trying to pick and choose the best sites and roads. If it wasn't for this community, I would not have found many of the places I visited. I will be sure to return the favor and post a very detailed review and route on the ED thread soon!

In sunlight it is very very bright pink/purple, and in cloudy weather the purple really pops.


The car community in Europe was incredible. Will share more soon
BRO! I’m so jealous and happy for u at the same time! Always wanted to visit RUF factory also. As you’ve said, it’s just as much about the car culture and community. That’s why I can’t wait to meet everyone in person on 9/10.

Just from the web. These vids are mainly for my family/friends so I don’t post here on RIist. And folks probably getting sick of seeing pics of my Black T here anyway. That’s why I’m passing the baton to @Wilder to take over on black T pics when he gets his soon! Yeah, funny the amount of unexpected views I’m getting on these vids…keeps growing and 17 subscribers now. One of them is my neighbor…said he found my utube site simply by searching there LoL.

Amazing trip and amazing pictures. Thanks for bringing us on your journey. Too bad we couldn’t meet. Can’t wait for your full epic story. Also very curious how you feel about the car. Missing pictures of the interior. Those yellow seatbelts are just brilliant. I am sure with these memories the long waiting will be a bit easier.

The thing is - I know that it's spelled Alfa and not Alpha, my iPad though.... Apparently, not so much... It's something that's even more irritating when you're dealing with Alfa Romeo and Alpha Tauri.

Plus, I don't own Alfa Romeo - but as of Wednesday, I will own a Porsche.

@toph4242 how amazing! So happy for you. For the car and the trip. Thank you for allowing me to live a little piece of it given ED was not available to me. It's something I really wanted to do. Looking forward to more granular review but thanks so much for the pics.

I now realize how easy it is to forget to take interior shots on delivery day haha... Here are a few videos (Not sure if they will load or not...) and a couple interior pics (screenshot from video, so poor quality)

U really think I don’t know the correct spelling of Porsche? I spell it Porsha on purpose and I’ve previously explained here why. BTW, I have a photographic memory. I didn’t appreciate your first comment to me that was out of the blue and rude. Basically, prejudged me without knowing me.

I like 99% of folks here. Ha, there are a few that are cringe. We agree to disagree on many topics and it’s all good. And I don’t take too seriously what an online troll may post. But when someone posts something personally disrespectful, I’m done exchanging comments with that person. So, hopefully my last exchange with u….period.

Looking into setting up Ignore on RList to block certain posts. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thank you! The RUF factory was cool to see in person. Its amazing what a tiny operation it is for such a world wide company... I was with a few people on the trip who are newer to the car community and they didnt get why I was following certain cars into gas stations just to talk to people... they thought I was crazy, until those stops turned into 30min conversations and tandem driving for hours on end... You never know who you will meet, where it will take you... so just do it.
