Default my trip to the famous Nurburgring

My big Five Oh is this summer and thought it would be a good reason to go on one of those "Bucket List" trips so I booked a trip to Germany to drive the famous Nurburgring track,,we then headed to Switzerland to drive the Alps.. what an amazing trip to say the least..
I rented a BMW M4 through SIXT for the two weeks and a "Ring Rental Car" through RSR for my track day..we also took a
ride with a pro driver in a "Ring Taxi"..
Spent 3 days in Nurburg then a couple nights in a little place
on the Mosel River,, from there we went to visit friends in
Stuttgart.. our friend's dad is a huge gear head and has a nice
collection of "Oldtimer" cars as they call them,,,,
From there went to a little place called Lauterbrunnen Switzerland.
Words can't describe how beautiful it is there....
we also did something crazy and went paragliding off the mountain,,
that was simply awesome,,,,,

The Ring Taxi is a good alternative to not having the ability to drive your own Z around the course.....But the course is unforgiven.

Congrats on checking off one from the bucket list. I checked that one off back in 2008, when I was living in Germany and I had my forged 2000 FRC with me. What a blast!!

Have fun!

From one '65er to another, Well Done!
Nice way to hit the mid-century mark.
