As some of you may know, Jon and I spent the past week in Munich on our second Euro Delivery in the past 4 months.
Along the way, we documented the experience and some teaser shots of the new car. As you can guess, the name for this project will be DER UBER 1. All I can say now is the theme and modifications will be entirely based on that name designation and the vehicle's color combo. You will have to wait until January for the full revealing as we document the entire project from start to finish.
In the meantime, enjoy the photos from our trip and join me in the 6-8 week anticipation of her arrival here in the states. We will be updating this thread with the project as soon as it arrives and the transformation begins. We hope you take the time to subscribe and follow along as we begin yet another journey!
A little driver training and introduction before we head out to the car.
A quick sneak peek from above, I couldn't resist!
Descending the staircase to our new toy.
First thing to check is the mileage, apparently they reset this right before it enters the Welt. I was worried because I knew they put some miles on it at the factory to test the car, I didn't want mine to go through untested!
Full interior introduction with our lovely assistant, Judith.

Time to hit the road- headed to Prague for dinner and a few jaunts along the autobahn.
Stopped in Prague for an impromptu photoshoot near the Charles River Bridge. Unfortunately the photos did not come out too great as I was not having the 30 degree weather (California native
) and was hurrying Jon up.Hope you enjoy the photos, we'll have more as she arrives state side in January...stay tuned.
Jon also had some extra time on his hands so he made a fun little video...
