Rep Power: 34    |  So then. A big post for me. Just back from my 'Grand Tour of Europe'. Minus Italy. Just to tell you, the pictures aren't in order that I took them. We did a linear tour, not jumping around.  Lets get started: Audi A5 and S6, That V10 really sounds nice. I need one now. That was somewhere in the Austrian Alps.  A very nice Aston Martin DB9 Volante, in Salzburg.  A Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, in the Audi Museum car park. I have plenty of pics of R8s, but decided not to post them, because I saw around 10-15 in my day there.   Something in Reims. Any ideas?  An Austrian Mazda 3 MPS, nothing special, although I was wondering how much personalised numberplates are in Austria? And this one - how much would you expect it to go for?  MGA in Liechtenstein. It wasn't from there though. I did however see a new 911 Turbo, possibly the only one in Liechtenstein? Were moving though, so couldn't get the camera quick enough.  New Jaguar XJ At The GP/F1 Track at the Nurburgring  On to the Nurburgring now I guess. New Jaguar S-Type in testing. I have posted it in the Automotive news section for any comments on this.  Gallardo SE  Wiesmann GT  Ferrari 599 (second picture was on the second day I was there, when it rained  )  Some old Volvo, don't know what it is (help?).  MGB V8  Mini GP (I saw a second but was too slow with the camera)  Porsche Carrera GT and 911 GT3RS at the hotel I stayed at. Very nice. Shame it was raining, and the owners were just inside the reception, so may have complained if I went and started taking close ups of his car. Only went for one. What I want to know is why he bought it in yellow.      At The Karusell: (it was some kind of time-trial day when I went) Aston V8 that was taken up the inside by a 911 Turbo  Honda Civic Type-R  Clio. Would be a little quicker than you're average V6.  At another part of the track: 575 and 360  Oh, and can we please remind the driver of the 360 to consider their actions before they go and attack local plant life.   Gumpert Apollo. Rather shocked me this; how many of them are there?  Finally: This amused me in our hotel car park in Salzburg. A parking space 3m long for Smart cars.
