Congratulations on the ED trip. I in all honesty enjoyed yours the most. You put it in perspective and left no detail out on what would one need to do to make it a stress free and safe trip. I too am inexperienced on the track and one day would love to ED and visit Nurburgring.
Lots of great pics, I enjoyed them all. Thanks again. By the way we're those Delta premium economy seats or business? I hate coach but also hate to pay the insane business class prices. Premium economy is a happy in between and worth it.

Great write up of your trip and pictures! I always enjoy reading others ED trips. I've been lucky enough to have been on two and want to go back so badly. Great call on the vignette website. I book marked it for next time!!

Nice meeting you yesterday and thanks for the information on the license plate holder (http://www.stonsho.com). I am going to order mine this week.

You are correct on the winter tires being the main issue to be aware of during a winter ED. There are companies that will rent you winter wheels and tires. You also must return the car to Munich when you do this. http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...nfoWinter.aspx http://www.edwintertires.com/ Quote:

Great trip and great photographs and write-up!
(It's amazing to me how common the European USB map drives fails. Mine did as well, and based on threads on the board, this is not uncommon. Hopefully by the time I do ED again, there will be a different process!)

Tx Did you have to get an international drivers license or did your US drivers license pass muster I recall at one point on a business trip a couple years back it was required if I were to rent a car iirc. |
