My wife and I just got back from a trip to Europe seeing the sights as any tourist would do. We started in Milan, up through the lake region of Switzerland to Stuttgart, then to Munich, Salzburg, and back down through Innsbruck to Milan. What a great time. The Alps are spectacular. Driving on the Autobahn was kinda cool too. Its nice to cruise about 150 kmh (~95 for those metrically challenged) with no worries except those pesky bimmers in the left lane. If only that rental minivan would have gone faster than 170 kmh. believe me I tried.
The best part was the trip to Zuffenhausen and the Porsche factory/museum. Lots of history in that building. I liked the 962s, 917s and of course, Porsche #1. The RSK was pretty cool as well. After the museum we went across the street to the dealership. Wow, what a place. three levels of P-cars. There were several 996-GT3 variants there. Only 180K Euro. Shoulda brought my checkbook
.
The funniest thing at the dealership was the new Cayenne. They liked it so much they had to cover it up.
Ok they really did not have one but it was funny.
I also saw pictures of the next generation 911 in a magazine. Totally new headlights. They were round and reminded my of a hybrid 993/968. Hey at least they were round. Too bad my pockets were empty when I saw that magazine.
