someone's been busy on the internet during all that recent snow!!!

carrering

shuttup!!!

Larry Cable

that's going to be one busy&memorable summer of fun in the RS ...

what's the status on the specs/order etc?

carrering

i am going to probably 2 or 3 on that list as of right now. gotta pay for the RS too you know :-) That list is for all the other guys that need to maximize their time while on euro delivery. I am planning on going to Leipzig frequently for some training as its not too far away from home.

order number should be received next week. May build. 2011 RS.
White/Red, Nav - i get lost driving in my own town, lift - to get out of my driveway without cringing every time, Steel brakes (may still switch to PCCB), dynamic lights - its really dark here at night and roads are all wonderfully curvy.

i have a few more weeks before the order is locked in. thinking PTS in one of those blues you keep sending me pictures of…still debating.

Larry Cable

Do it in PTS RS 997.1 Orange ... then get a set of 997.1 RS decals ...

How is early September over there. Do you know if there are as many options
available at that time. Would you recommend Spa or Nordschleife and is there decent golf near those tracks. I may travel with 3 friends and 2 drive and 2 golf.

Larry Cable

Honestly no idea about the golf, I have never driven Spa only "spectated"...

From my perspective there is no way you can compare them ... Nordschleife has
no equal anywhere ... period ... Spa is much shorter and tighter, and there is
(my impression) less access ...

You might try RMA in the UK as they tend to run Spa and Nordschleife later in the year ... they usual do a back-2-back Spa/Nordschleife for the ultimate experience!

stay at Am Tiergarten (and hang out out with Sabine) or Blue Ecke in Adenaur, both have great bars and good restaurants ...

Balmoral (I believe) for Spa ...

Larry Cable

p.s
I dare you to go to Nordschleife *only once* ...

carrering

13th/14th of Sep is a combo of the Nring GP track and Spa.

Mix that with a few days of public lapping on the Nordschleife and thats a nice little excursion. There are driver coaches available and most certainly there will be a few private days on the Nordschleife in September. Little early now for those.

I hear golf is a lot better in Scottland. otherwise for areas near the Nurburgring, i found this on their website. maybe it will help.

It goes without saying that the golf is better in SCOTLAND!!!

Beer and tracks are better in Germany though!
