DBK is in the EU, so in his absence, I'll try to provide some insight into the event. Below is a note that includes a link (in bold) to see/hear the event in a live stream. If he logs in, he can provide the official Ford media link, when it becomes available. So until then:

I'm just here, having an espresso, looking for some friends. They weren't in Monaco at the Metropole.



But the staff was very helpful.

 

[dbk]

They weren't at the hairpin.



Or in the tunnel.

 

[dbk]

I thought maybe they went up in the hills, so we took a ride up the Col de Turini.



It was very helpful that Ford of France had this waiting for me at Charles De Gaulle on Sunday!



And it's a diesel!

 

[dbk]

Maybe they went a little further east?



It's always good to find a rabbit on the Autostrada.

 

[dbk]

I know where we might find them.



Better check in here real quick.



Nope, wrong guys.

 

[Awsum GT]

I feel so bad for you Dave... to have to travel to all of those out of the way places... at least you are in a Ford! Can't wait to hear about your trip.

 

[dbk]

Better head north.





Different bar, same result. Better espresso.



And the view is ok.

 

[dbk]

Maybe they went up this way.



Seems promising.



Cloudy up here today, and the company isn't all that friendly.



And don't look down!

 

[dbk]

Good thing where we headed next has an appreciation for speed. It's all she's got.



We shall continue tomorrow, and proper write up coming when I have time. Until then, the shroud of mystery remains! :lol

 

[dbk]

at least you are in a Ford!

Wouldn't do it any other way!

 

[Sinovac]

That is a terribly circuitous route to Le Mans. E50 southwest from Charles De Gaulle and voila, you're there.

How much is petrol in Switzerland?

 

[Awsum GT]

This is the DBK version of where's Waldo. Where will he pop up next.

[dbk]

Guten morgen.

 

[RALPHIE]

Nice day in the Eifel Mountains! Going to Spa next?

 

[Indy GT]

This is great!
An adult version of Where's Waldo.....
Give us a write up when you can.

 

[The Grey Ghost]

Dave, checking out the route for the driving tour next year?

Must be scoping out Rally 11.. A true Rally...Just departed Koln last night .. Nice day in the Rhineland.
I'd say enjoy your stay, but from the pictures, it would be hard not too.
Remember to come back for August...:biggrin

Euro spec Fords are so stout... Hopefully the new RS will be also.
