Hmmm, and I did not learn that Micheal was your younger brother during the two and a halve days. I remember now that you wrote that on the forum once. Silly me
you still get it wrong..
Brian is my brother, and Michael is the one doing some of the tuning on the 50cc scooters i import the parts for. so by now he is a friend of mine.
It takes time to get to know ppl.
About the Nürburgring, i would like to go there with you guys as that will be much more fun than going one M5 alone.
I can come with only one weeks notice if needed, just please if possible when you get to the date planning, avoid sebtember 11th to 15th as thats when the Danish BMW club arranges a visit at M GmbH & Alpina, and ofcourse i would like to go there too when the opportunity is there.
Hermann and Sauber F1:
He did make a couple of remarks about my Ferrari flag, wich i also hang up on the wall, in the resturant where we were watching the race
You and your father was with Konstantin and his sad problems at that time, i think.

Finn,
Yes, we where with Konstantin the whole time. Never mind Hermann. You now where his team gets their engines from
Originally posted by kevin034 What an awesome trip! I wish that there are places like that here in the states. Instead, all we have is miles and miles of highways with slow slow speed limits. All the excitement here are found dodging cops and speed traps.
What a mountain view with the lake! What a waterfall! Wish that I could be there with you guys!
Those you have in Austria too. I passed to speedtraps without being caught.
But on the passes, they hardly measure the speeds. Most cars don´t even reach the speed limit and those few that do are more busy with overtaking.
There is one important rule. Obey the traffic laws in urban areas and the busy roads. I once drove up the Grimselpass with more than 40km/h over the limit while a Swiss cop was watching me from above. While I passed him, he watched me closely while I passed him within the speed limit. . After the next apex, it was pedal to the metal.
I would like to clearify my opinion concerning the F1.
Yes I am a big fan of the Sauber Team and of Peter Sauber, and I am attending every event the Team offers (for example tomorrow, there is a big event in Roggwil BE CH with Kart-driving against Nick and Felippe ), but I am not against Ferrari in any matter. I only want the Formula ONE to stay interesting but with a driver like M.S. it can not be more boring. He is just too good and has such a big gap to any other driver...
I only pray for the Swiss Sauber team all the best because it is the first non car producer supported team and does a very very good and adorable work.

That's so nice to see these pics of my car still running:-(( But from now ist is less than a week til it's back - i hope.
Raymond: When I read your story I have a big smile on ma face all the time - ok I didn't read part three yet - where probably my broken car comes. But as Hermann didn't mention it I have to clarify this one: at Albula we arrived about 25 minutes befor the next one came - it could be that this is not important for Hermann or Dominik but I was so afraid of not beeing able to follow them with the touring, and as Noah was so kind to let me drive his M5 to Luzern on Monday - I can tell you the difference between the Limousine and the touring is huge: in Noah's car i was just driving, in my touring I was working hard all the time.
And for the N'Ring: I will join you there (at least 99,9% sure), and I almost convinced my wife to go there with me. The whole trip with you all was so nice, even though my car broke I don't want to miss those events in future. And as we were discussing when standing at the Opel Garage: The servicemobile is already beeing planned - I only hope it doesn't take us 3 years ro build that.
Raymond, that is a fantastic account of our trip. Great work. Reading it brought back all the great memories. I really hope I'll be around to do this year's trip, too.
