Le Mans - Amazing

[FordGT4fun]

Hi Pierre -

Yes - still in Europe. I visited Verdun and Bastogne prior to going to Spa-Francorchamps on Tuesday, then to the Nürburgring on Wednesday. Thursday, after visiting Matech, I drove past Vienna to Brock, Austria and today I drove to a small village south of Budapest where my father's parents emigrated from around 1900. I'm currently staying in Hungary and will begin the journey back to Switzerland, stopping in Salzburg to reminisce some memories of my youth when I studied there.

Sorry about the location error. It was nice to meet you at the race.

:cheers Ralphie

PS - I have to be in Seattle, Washington on July 4 to crew for my friend Ed's vintage Porsche.

Hi Ralphie,
your post sounds very interesting:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup. Enjoy your journey in Europe. if you go to Salzburg and if you like aircraft have a look at Hangar 7 ( Flying Bulls)
here the link http://www.hangar-7.com/ and don´t eat too much "Mozart Kugeln"
regards
Pierre

Thanks to all for all the front line reports and pics. Great reporting of the FGT in action. Makes owning and driving one even more special.

Wow, and I thought Kip's dash was trick. But, one more time, what happened to Cantwell? And, what happened to Chip's shoes?

We only saw Cantwell for 1/2 hour and then he went missing. Snoop Dog doesn't need any shoes:rofl

Here's a nice article at the Ultimatecarpage on the Le Mans winning Audi R15 plus TDI's that we saw sweep the top 3 overall places.
