Some of you might remember when I shipped my RS America to Europe 3 times (had to ship back to CA for smog) While there I ran 190 Laps on the Ring with 1 Off and 1 360 spin. Best was 12 laps in 1 stint. Had 1 off track altercation with a bully, he lost.
I miss the Ring and the Autobahn. So I've decided to ship my 914-6 and get those last 10 laps in, woo hoo. Maybe a couple more, They do sell 25 lap cards. Used to be 499 euros. Last time I met up with 1 of the world members at the Ring that was stationed there with his 914. Are there any members that might want to meet up at the Ring? Things are starting to fall into place for this to happen again. Price of shipping has gone down to around $2200 to Felixstowe, UK. Set up Insurance this morning. Hotel reservations at the Elizabeth Orwell, it's like stepping back in to the 1800's. The 6 is ready, fresh engine, side shift tranny, clutch, axles, cables, brakes, etc. Just a few minor gripes to fix before shipping. This is from last time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuzPcRyTkZM...ndex=2&t=2s Maybe contact Discover Germany, would be cool to have the 6 on the Ring like the RSA. and https://www.flickr.com/photos/2010-2011_european_tour/sets Plan is ship 6 in April, fly over in May, pick up and I'm gone.

Snakemain, would love to meet up, Bitburg would be a nice day trip.
DAX1969, I like Felixstowe, it's the perfect place to start a trip. All within walking distance, Halfords if I need parts, Cell phone store that sells phones that work all over Europe, Laundromat, Auto shop that lends me floor jacks, impact wrenches to prep car prior to shipping home. No dirt/grass allowed. Besides all hat, it's a pretty cool Town. There's a couple of castles in England I still want to see. Sorry about the Antwerp thing, I'll correct later. Sounds like that's like, Not wearing my B-17 Memphis Bell Shirt in Germany, mention Spain and Mexico in the same sentence in Spain. Question, think the EU was going to pass a law getting rid of roaming charges, did they ever do that? I turned 70 last year, also finished the rebuild of me. It's amazing how much stuff they can replace. Driving the Ring at 70, I think that's pretty cool. Here's a pic of the engine. She's running sweet. Later Attached thumbnail(s) |
