Good to see you had a great drive. I tried your link, it was not liked by my browser at all, tries to view instead of giving me the save dialog. Hummm.

What cam did you use for video? This I have to see.

Thanks,

 

The link is the Google Earth file. I'm a robo-nerd when it comes to converting what I've driven into Google Earth files. Sorry for not annotating it as such. (Google Earth is free, cross platform meaning Windows, OS X, and Lunix, GPS friendly (well, not the OEM one), and way, way cool)

Video? My digital camera. Horrible video. I really need to just drop the cash and get a tow hook mounted one. These drives deserve something that good.

PS - photos are up here.







Amd many more.

Great museum. I had not been there in 10 years probably, and it was still much fun.

 

Looks like it was a good run, and that musem looks sweet.

who all made it ?

Now Im depressed again I really need to find some good roads around here

Yeah, that would be me and the kid. He had a good time, but did not get to drive. I did buy him an AB MCSC at the museum -- a toy one that is.

 

Video of the museum is up. You can download it here (DivX format), or watch it on YouTube here.

Rest of the videos are:

Breaking the "howling barrier"
A video about that howling noise that at least R53's make in the 90-125 mph range. The video shows that, yes indeed, the sound goes away for 125+ mph. Don't try this at home.

Running the Hills
Odd bits of video from the drive. It's got some nice panorama shots, too. Those were good hills.

The one less traveled by
I ended up seeing a turn and just taking it. I ended up on one of those awesome little one-lane deals that you stumble onto from time to time in Germany, or seemingly all the damn time in the Black Forest. One lane, no real place to pass, hopefully no traffic coming the other way, and all the while the GPS is telling you to turn around, that you won't make it. You always do, too. Not a fast drive, just scenic and a lot of fun.
