Alright, the pickup time is rapidly approaching, and this European delivery pickup date is fast approaching (July 8). Our flights are booked, and we are starting to book hotels for the rest of our trip! It never really seemed like it was a reality, but here we are!

We went in and paid for the vehicle last week and will head over on the 4th of July. If anyone has any tips or things of interest they would like to contribute to my Euro delivery trip please don't hesitate to PM me. I may also creep some old threads and ask those who have experienced it a question or two.

Thanks!

Congrats and enjoy the trip. I wish I had done ED, but I'm too impatient.

There are indeed some good threads about peoples ED trips with tips on places to go.

@ zorba1331 - Thank you for reminding of us of our 2 year anniversary!

Celebrating 92,000 km / 57,000 miles of wonderful driving.
And the first thousands were in Europe!
Always a great memory when you can't go faster than the posted limit

Alright, I can't believe the date is here. Leaving tomorrow for my European Delivery pickup on Monday. I would have never known anything about it it weren't for you guys on this forum. Thanks a ton. I will let you know how it goes

This whole trip has seemed so surreal. We had a great experience at Leipzig. Thanks for recommending the ED program gang. It has been fantastic! I don't have many great pics yet, but I will get some. I will also share my experiences once I get back to the US on the 17th.

If you are so inclined, you can check out my blog here:

That is the entry from my day at Leipzig. There is a lot of stuff on my entire trip and it may be a bit boring for some, but I wanted to document this trip and not forget a thing. Feel free to have a snoop, or not haha.

Nice writeup of the factory experience. I like your red stitching too.
It's pretty cool how this one thread goes from idea to delivery on your Cayenne.

Zorba - Way cool!!

If you see Christina on your drop off, tell her "Hi" from Paul and Gail. And congratulations on her baby (she was off on maternity leave for a bit.)
Don't you just love her enthusiasm for the company, the people and the products?

Glad Hitch signed the celebrity hood! One of the winningest coaches in NHL history, and still going strong!
Tell him "Thank you" from us for his work with the Olympic hockey teams. Saw them in 2010 in Vancouver.

And your blog is excellent too!
Enjoy the remainder of your memory gathering

I will post some better pics soon. It really looks great and am so pleased with how it all turned out.

I know, it seems a little surreal. It all started with a pretty simple question. I would have had no clue about ED if not for this site.

I will be sure to tell him. It was neat how Erik was so into what Hitch did haha. He said he is going to be a blues fan now! Hitch is going to send those guys some blues gear.

Christina was fantastic. She spoke of her little boy who is now 1 1/2. Her enthusiasm was contagious that's for sure!
