Another solo trip into Europe.
Discussion
Interesting thread - sounds fun! (particularly the saunas). I think I read your previous thread(s) as well. I've always fancied a solo trip, but life / young kids / time / money seems to get in the way...
Do you have a luggage car following you?! Guitar, bike, etc.
How do you deal with the frequent tolls? Fine if there's 2 of you, the passenger can deal with it, but I imagine it's a pain if you have to get out each time. Actually, as writing, I realised you probably just have one of those tags that auto-charges you...?

Drove into Frankfurt today. I was on route to another hotel but I thought I'd drop in at McLaren Frankfurt just to have a look.
I put it in the sat nav and just expected to pull up at a dealership, however the place is on a huge site called Klassikstadt which basically caters for all classics and Supercar upgrades! What a place!
Grateful to Stephan of McLaren who came straight out when I pulled up and started showing me around.
First into the showroom to see these.

He said they do lots of conversions for the track there:
As usual my photos are crap but you get the idea.

Yeah things get in the way. It took me a very long time and a lot of hard work to be in the position to make these trips, life keeps interfering. Do you have a luggage car following you?! Guitar, bike, etc.

Bike was rented from the hotel. Large holdall for clothes in the boot, manbag on the passenger seat for chargers, headphones, paperwork etc and the guitar slots in the footwell with the neck up on the seat.
I can just do it. Get the hotels to do laundry for me on the way round.
This McLaren is actually pretty good, because it doesn't have shocks there is quite a bit of room in the boot.
The Ferrari was manageable but the Lambo was a nightmare! Just no room at all in that.
Yeah, Sanef tag, drive straight through the barriers.
Hotel car parks can be tricky.
Loads more pics to come, I need to get back on the hotel WiFi. Out in a Biergarten at the moment listening to all the German old girls doing their dirty laughs!
I've no idea what they're saying but they are all having a great time!
Love this country, well the Bavarian bit at least. It's completely beautiful, the roads are epic and you never, ever see a speed camera, ever.
Living in South Essex and running a business in East London where there's a camera every 84 inches driving here is like waking up in Nirvana.
Might try that tying the phone to the front of the car thing tomorrow. So if I stop posting it means it's fallen off and I've run over it.

k can you do that!
Witchcraft, that's what it is.
I don't even need to do this bloody trip, I could just pay you to concoct all these pics of me enjoying myself!
Used a clone tool in Photoshop to trim part of the block away and replace with some grass and fill the bumper edge back in. k can you do that! Witchcraft, that's what it is.

My pleasure doing this. Nice car and photo there is always something that needs to go.
I lived in Frankfurt for 5 years and never heard of that place, s
