As per the title a mate and I are driving my GT3 RS to Berlin next Thursday to attend a stag do, although I have managed to wangle a few extra days for to turn it into a roadtrip and sober up good and proper before attempting any drive back.

Just had a Europipe exhuast fitted this week too and haven't heard it on song yet too!

Have driven to Le Man's and the 'ring a few times but not Berlin, anyone done it and any pointers? Calais to Berlin on the 6am ferry from Dover! I know to be saintly in France having had the obligatory Le Man's tax previously!

Cooool - let us know how it goes sound wise. Curious to know how you feel about it.

Just had my Fabspeed center bypass put on a couple wks ago on the RS as well - went to Paris and it was quite loud for such a long trip!

Tiring actually - no booming whatsoever, but hard to cruise long hours, radio useless.

Going to Wales surfing tomorrow - 400miles under the rain (forecast) back and forth in the day smile

If too loud again, I might get it removed.

Sounds like a good trip yes

I went to Berlin late last year and the roads are bloody brilliant - unrestricted for quite some time and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey.

Unfortunately not in my 997 but a 3.5T van so nowhere near as much fun as you'll have.

By the way, the journey back was in a single hit of 10 hours to this side of the tunnel - I expect better from a GT3RS wink
