Arrived in the Hotel in Stuttgart after a fantastic early morning drive ( engines started at 6:00 am) on the Famous Route 500 with breathtaking views and only one hair raising moment .

then through stuttgart rush hour traffic to Zuffenhausen for a quick cafe and the 911/Boxter Production Line 2 hour tour . No Photos of the Factory tour although we must have seen about 15 GT3RS being built or ready for shipping .

We then had a decent lunch in the on site Cafe and then went round the Porsche Museum itself which has an excellent display .... including a Beetle which will delight Perry ! Building itself is a work of art .

my favourite was the Carrrera GT in GT Silver with a Cocoa Interior :D .

try and get some photos uploaded later .

You were lucky to get off with only 'hare line' scratches Zermatt. I still get very nervous seeing animals on the road after my pheasant experience last year. :cry:
