i rented that 3.0 z4 coupe. 6 speed with navi. perfect for riding through germany. got up to about 240ish kph. fun times. and the ring was just awesome as you can imagine. anyways theres some other pics of random italy stuffs in the other albums.

Nice, Phil! Welcome back.

Welcome back, Phil!

Bad ass pictures.

shame you didn't see any nice cars...

Wow

Very cool. That F40 is amazing.

Great pictures! I was at the Ring last month, bbq'd at Brunnchen with some friends. Had a ride in the M5 taxi last October, definitely something everyone should experience. Oh, almost forgot, had to visit a customer in Holland, the owner of the company drove me back to Germany in his new Aston Martin DB9. No wonder I never want to come home after each visit. But, damn gas is expensive over there!

The 993 is so much sexier than the 996 and 997. Great pictures.

:wave Phil!

thanks guys. yeah basically trip was just amazing. and the ring was just incredible. i love the fact that all those pcars and bmws were there to be driven hard. really makes me want to stay in the bmw/pcar family forever. i only saw one merc e55 and a handful of audi's. man i want to move there for a year and just get the annual pass. 895 euro or somethin. can't wait to go back.

nurburgring is only about an hour and change from frankfurt. that's where i took the train into and rented the z4 there. i really highly recommend it. although i guess i've never done road atlanta or any tracks around here, but it was some serious fun with some serious cars.

Yeah, we are going there directly from Frankfurt. I am trying to get a Ringtaxi reservation, but if that doesn't work out, we will likely try to get some track time if we can get there on a public day.
