The autobahn has its highs and lows......
Here's Simon having a race with a VW towing a caravan.... and yes, Simon won.... the VW missed a gear
But THIS is what its all about...
^^
If I remember correctly, somewhere a little later on this stretch is where we wound it up to around 250km/h

Strangely enough, we were making very good time on our route 
so we did another stop off.
Naturally we parked up so we could do another quick photo shoot
The layer of brake dust on rims slowly getting thicker!

With E60.NET having become so famous for being THE BEST FORUM IN THE WORLD, you're obviously going to get the paparazzi chasing you...
Last year it was these crazy guys in the 6er
(You were missed sixcabrio and BMWMB!)
And this year it looks like they had enough money for a proper camera

The next day in Munich, before heading to BMW Welt, our cars were in desperate need of a wash. I think we had half the bug population of Bayern plastered over the front of our cars and at least 50% of our brake pads had found their way on to our rims!
Step 1, block the entire car wash
Step 2 went something like this...
- Pete: "Which wash programme should we go for?"
- Patrick, without even looking at the board: "Duh, the most expensive one of course!"
Step 3, let the Terminator drive your car through the car wash
Step 4, show off shine by taking arty reflective shot
Step 5, take picture of husband's shiney head next to shiney car... ha bloody ha
Step 6, try to keep a straight face when having photo taken next to a Rolls which got lost leaving Bevery Hills in the 1980s
Sorted! Now you're ready to drive to BMW Welt....

OK, I'm running out of steam a little now on the uploading picture front, so here are a few pics taken between the car wash and inside BMW Welt...
The indicator came on automatically
There's no mistaking where you are...
And of course, we found a spot in the BMW Welt car park where we could do another photo shoot!
Loads more to go, so the next installment of pictures will follow soon....

Thanks guys.
There's still the BMW Museum pics to come; all the M cars, the Touring cars (real ones, not like mine ) as well as some real classics from days gone by...
Oh, and more of the Z1 Meet (1 pic from Simon so far), the McLaren F1 (1 pic from Patrick so far) and some cars back from the future.......
(Its going to take quite some time and a number of posts to work through all of these!)
