I enjoyed touring Europe for 5 1/2 months last year that I decided to do it again.

Some highlights from last year.

Drove 13,000 miles, made it from Munich to Nuremburg 160 miles in 1 hour and 10 minutes on the autobahn. I was at 158mph going for 160, when I got cut off, had to stand on the brakes to keep from hitting the guy. Drove up and down the Rhine River between Koln and Manheim visiting castles. Spent 2 weeks driving the Nurbugring. Went to Le Mans for the races with Porsche Club Great Britain. Visited 40-50 Cities, almost 100 Castles, over 100 Museums. Got sick, had a operation in Southern Germany. Needed new tires in Berlin.

Made the cover of 911 & Posche World magazine, August 2010 edition. Made a lot of new friends in England, Germany, Luxemburg, and France. Going to go see them all again. Have new invitations to Glasglow, Stockholm, and Portugal.

Took over 6400 pictures, posted on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/ This years pictures will have a 2011 in the group title.

She cleared customs last week in Felixstowe, met up with some friends in Essex that I met at Le Mans last year and them headed for South Wales. I'm in North Wales now for the next 5 days, then north to Scotland then the continent. Thinking of another 2 weeks at the Nurburgring.

Attaching a picture of me and my baby on the Nurburgring, really cool. there's a guy at the Ring that takes pictures of all the cars on the track, charges 8 euros for copies of his pictures. I really enjoy driving around Europe in a RS America with California Plates.

So I'm off today to see a few more castles.
