Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
- Thread starter Bing
- Start date
By the seaside...
Been here for hours - we're on holiday, so posting on the forum is low priority 
Took a while to get to Calais this morning with all the traffic backed up, but we made our train with plenty time. Parked up prior to boarding :
And in the train :
First time I've been on Le Shuttle - sadly it didn't get any more exciting than that, as today is kind of like the drive to the meet point, so just loooooong motorway miles. On the plus side, I didn't crash, we didn't get stopped by the fuzz, it was sunny all the way (my arms are burnt :x ), and I got 28.2mpg
My car is at PVRs parents (at least it had better be there, stationary... Or someone is dead meat :wink: ), and Wee Bing and I have had dinner and are back at the hotel in the centre of town. JaxZ4, Tom & ZermattV are on a ferry somewhere in the North Sea and we *think* we're meeting them about 45mins away at 1200 tomorrow... Though nobody answered when we asked. Winging it, as usual :lol:
Then it's 'Bahn Time :evil:

Right off to bed - got to be up at stupid o'clock tomorrow for the Route 500 and into Stuttgart for 09:30 and we are not going the short route in .
but as Paul says we stretched some legs today on the Autobahn - its impossible to overstate how good the Boxter S exhaust of Jax sounds with the sports exhaust , How great it is to have an S54 along
so far we have had epic weather since arriving this morning .

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 .
try and get some photos uploaded later .
