Thumbs up Great 911 On Board Walter Rohrl

Sorry if this is a repost but it's so good I hope no one minds. Everytime I watch this I have to immediately drive my car. There is such a definitiveness to the air cooled 911 as sports car simplicity...and Rohrl what you you say. God.

Thanks for posting. Brings back memories - I've lived in this area for about 6 months, and the "Eifel" ist just fun to drive, especially if you own a motorcycle! Comparable to the "Tail of the Dragon" in many ways! BTW - the Nuerburgring is not far away either; maybe 70-80 miles.

Nice!

Those are the kind of roads I like to ride when I'm over in Europe and the Alps; the one laners...for both directions.

Thanks Jordan. Since it's Friday night movie time, most folks, hopefully, won't mind me re-posting my favourite, which I never get tired of watching:

"I suppose it's a good business to be in, the Armco repair..."

"yeah, absolutely!"



Great videos, both.

Need to try and capture some video when I do my Eurotrip this year. Me and my baddy taking turns driving/spotting up roads like this. Germany to Austria to Switzerland this year.

As for vids, here is one of the best I have seen from Clarkson. Not fun, but true.

The trick to it is getting the right maps and those usually have a scale of 1:200 000 or better. Then look for the thin gray lines.

I prefer the Michelin and Freytag & Berndt maps. Order them before you get there.

Look up the second post on this thread where I discuss maps.

Good advice, Alex. I have the one from 2 years ago and it is a Dolomites map by Tabacco. 1:500.000 and did well for us.

2 of the guys I ride with have businesses they plan tour with often:

in Stuttgart: www.panamericana-engineering.com
in Munich: Targa Turismio (have to search for the exact link, I'm on my phone)

One of my favourites as well. I saved quite a few of them to my HD.
