Cloudbase's Euro Vaca Thread

[Cloudbase]

Yo Dudes it's been a fucking hectic summer, I'm just getting caught up on life. We managed two weeks in Germany, Austria, Italy, and London last month. We spent a morning at the BMW Museum, 4 days in Austria, 4 days in Italy, and 4 in London. I rented a Ford Fiesta (the 1 series I wanted was an automatic :() and it was the shit! Seriously. I would almost sell my E30 for one, almost...

The BMW Museum was the shit. I leave my thoughts about it on the blog - BMW Museum. Full picture gallery HERE. My favorite's were the 1 M Coupe, the 116d Hatch, E30 M3 Art Car, and the 1975 3.0CSL.

Thought I'd post some of the random cars I encountered on my journeys.

Our First Fiesta - Murdered Out, Alloy Wheels, Sport Steering Wheel, Metal Pedals, Sport Seats















We only had it a day before it was vandalized. Nothing was stolen, just annoying.



Our Second Fiesta. It wasn't as trick as the first one, but I learned to love it.

Random E30 - I didn't see too many, which was surprising.



M Coupe in Munich - I only saw 2 the whole trip, both in Germany.



Ferrari 458 - The only one I saw.



Sausages



I think this is an S6 Wagon. Do they make one of those? Otherwise it would be a new S4. Sorry don't know my Audi's for shit.



The Autobahn



5 Series Wagon

When we crossed into Italy we drove over Ploken Pass. It was one of the best driving roads I've encountered, only made sweeter by Italy's aggressive drivers. Here's a video:

Earlier that Day we rode the Osttirodler. It was an alpine rollercoaster that put Colorado's to shame.

Goddamnit I miss Munich. I lived 10 minutes north by foot from the Welt.

Random question, does the 3.5csl have exhaust coming out both passenger and driver side, or just the right side?

neither. ;)

[Cloudbase]

Ha! Roland is correct. I think the 3.0CSL only had them on the left side.

Munich was the shit. I could totally live there. I need to convert my ratings to ICAO and take advantage of my EU passport.

I heart Cloudbase threads.:D

Or finish up 4yr degree and work for FedEx out of CGN. I'm going to need a sponsor in like 10 years. ;)
