My Ride: 2014 X5 xDrive 5.0 M Package Carbon Black Metallic/2008 M Roadster Imola Red
Hi Gang:
We are vacationing in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Most of our time will be in Germany along the Romantic Road. We flew into Franfurt, rented a 320d, drove to Wurzburg, and now are in Rothenburg. The later two are wonderful places; we spent almost no time in Frankfurt. Tomorrow we will drive to N?rnberg--just to get a quick look at the Ring. AFAIK, nothing is scheduled for tomorrow. So, I don't really know what we will be able to see. There are two kinds of cars so far BMW's and MB's; 50% each.
More later.
Best to all,
"The" Zman

Hey Zman,
You were in Frankfurt and didn't say a word?
You can drive to The Ring but it's closed for public driving since the 24h race is currently @ The Ring.
