Begins in an hour with ride to the airport, through Philadelphia to Frankfurt.

Arrving tomorrow at about 10am Germany time.

I am on my own but have another couple of folks (Doctor and daughter) in some other car that will come too (Tour guide's sister had a heart attack and might not come the gide might not make it - tlll Stuttgart. Bought a new netbook/camera and will try and set them up and post a running description and if possible, photos.

this a a driving tour for car enthusiasts but for many reasons all the other 16 people had to drop out so it is just 2 cars.

I am going to try and hit - in Bavaria, as the MB Classic center is included already, also a MB w123/w124/w126 junkyard, there must be one in Munich or Stuttgart and the MB euro delivery center ....

Beyond buying a cuckoo clock in the Black Forest, no ther concrete planhs.

Having the keys to a new car affords some flexibility. And LOTS of fun - more than a train or bus would.

A bw w126 member currently in Geneva Switzerland has asked me for a meet up and may drve through the Alps ad visit there one of the days.
