Quick trick compliance (not 12 but close right?)

The welt was amazing, too bad parts of it were under heavy construction. Easily hit about 100-110mph on the autobahn going to Linderhof and then to Fussen.. amazing beautiful drive.

Getting ready for castles today! More to come soon. Thank you Bimmerfest for all the guidance and tips!!

Okay! Now that I've been back for a week...
They really treat you like royalty there. This is the check in area.

Had to sample the famous Weisswurst... and yes I did cut it open thanks to the educators here...

There she is! This is when the "silly ass grin" as Jon describes it begins...

Panoramic of the pickup area

Education from the delivery specialist.

Welt Goodies - the photo printout they give you and the USB key that has digital copy.

Unfortunately, a lot of construction going on at the Welt. Both sides were closed as seen below. MINI is moving in...

Hit the road, this is on the way to Linderhoff.

I love how mean it looks.

Some people may recognize this crazy hotel in Fussen.

More to come! Uploading now!

Neuschwanstein was amazing. I didn't get a car pic since the other side was completely covered in scaffolding

We got lost after the castles... GPS took us down a road that was apprently closed for construction, and then another onramp that was there didn't actually exist... that was interesting.. wife was enjoying this view the whole time:

Biggest regret of the trip: not scheduling enough time to do more passes. I should have listened to the advice in my planning thread Anyway, we at least went through Klaussen Pass. Great scenery... gorgeous

My favorite photo of the trip:

Spent two nights at Jungfraujoch/Lauterbrunnen... no good car pics (the 2nd regret of the trip, I should have learned from DrivenByF30...)

In Lucerne, this Bentley thought it was good enough company...

Strasbourg was one of the highlights of the trip.

Getting close to drop off in Paris, took some photos in Versailles

Nice looking car and amazing photos. Out of curiosity, what camera/lens did you use for these pictures.

Only 4 weeks away from our trip and really excited and looking forward to the trip!

Awesome pics congrats! I second the question on what color you chose? V/r, Tim.

Thanks! These were shot mostly with a Canon T2i and the EF-S 10-22mm wide angle lens. Some by my wife were on a Sony NEX-5N

Great photos! It's almost time, looking at your pictures is slowing down time even more!

Thanks for sharng. Would have liked to see a picture of the "silly ass grin", rather than your left knee and your wife's fingernail-fiddling, but whatever. Think I recognize the hotel in your Lauterbrunnen/Jungfrau pic - it's in Wengen, no? If so, it's where we stayed on our first trip. Beautiful spot. Congrats.

So what's the story about MINI moving in? MINI ED? Since the Countryman is made on the Continent it seems they could arrange to at least offer that model for European Delivery. I'm about to go check out a MINI for my wife this weekend, but if there's a possibility of European Delivery, I'd wait.......

I especially like the shot in the garage at the "crazy hotel" in Fussen. Congrats! Sweet car! :thumbup:

Beautiful pic's - thanks for sharing. I absolutely loved the drive along lake plansee (looks like the lake from your pic) from Linderhoff to Ehrwald. Looks like you had a great trip.

Congrats on the ED trip !!!

you must be back and advertising that experience to all your friends now right?! LOL
