Drop Off Day
Friday, October 14:
Today will be a sad day…drop off time! It’s an autobahn trip down to Frankfurt for car wash and drop off. Sunrise was cool!
The highlight is that I hit 150+ 3 times and the limiter twice. You can feel the car bumping up against the limiter…it’s really cool. I was also behind an Audi A5 and he was charging it too…until we hit traffic! But, before we did, I managed to get to a slight downhill stretch of straight where the GPS read 157 mph!!! INSANE! Things really move at that speed! The fuel really goes too!
Anyway, I arrive safely in Frankfurt and get the car washed down the street from the BLG drop off at the Mr. Wash shop. This place is a real example of German efficiency…everything is automated and it does a pretty good job. Then you get to pull in and finish the drying and they have compressed air guns to hit the gaps with…that was super cool!!! Lot’s of pictures mainly because I wanted you all to see what the BLG drop off looks like…since google street view was terrible and I had little reference, so wanted to share! Notice the stablemates!!! Both were headed to USA...the M is a military car and the white is clearly another ED!!!
Then it was an afternoon in Frankfurt and an interesting Rhine River tour with a cheesy dinner and wine tasting…oh well, I needed something to do and the Heidelberg tour wasn't available. Of course, I couldn't resist a Chipotle lunch in Germany!!! By this time I needed something from home!
