Do you have any more pics from Ruf?
Yes, from what Adam tells me, his is the only RHD Rturbo in existence. All the others are LHD.

I'll see what I can do about uploading the rest of the pictures from RUF. They didn't allow me to take very many pictures during my visit/tour. Too many top secret prototypes in the shop.

The masters went well...we did mainly the same thing that we did during the 2 day high performance driving school but on an elevated level. We also spent a majority of our time doing hot laps solo which was what made the masters all worthwhile! Definitely a must do! There was a fellow who was there for his 18th time(!)

Wow Jason, Just spectacular and some of the most informative photos of the factory (Porsche). Just beautiful, and I appreciate all the hard work and time you invested to put this all together. When I have more time I plan to view all the albums and make sure I don't miss a beat! Thanks!

Jason thank you for the nice pictures, you have reminded me of my vacation to Germany in 2004. There I visited the Audi museum and got to see the R8 Concept, Nouvolvari, Quattro conept, Audi 90's and the Chrome Audi S8 that was present in the showroom.

I also visited the BMW Museum but there wasnt a english guide to show us around.

The best city was Munich, I liked it alot and I've got to stay at the Kempinski hotel downtown in Maximillian high street.

I enjoyed eating at some of the Japanese restaurants and also got to taste some german cuisines.

I was in Germany from 5/18 until 6/3. It was quite a long trip for us both and this was downsized from the original plans to be there for 6 weeks(!) Next time I go back, it'll be for a much longer stretch of time so I can finally follow through on my plans to visit all of the car-related places in Europe. Monaco, VW, etc. That trip will ROCK!

What I do for a living, I could tell you guys but then I'd have to kill you. Just kidding. Seriously though, I'm considering being an automotive journalist. I've written quite a few articles that has gotten published.

Mohammed, we both had quite a few interesting meals throughout Germany. Ironically, none of them were Japanese. I finally had some when I got back!

Atomic great story and pics, I have a question I am planning to go to Frankfurt for the IAA this year, and want to visit the Ring and have a ride in the Ring Taxi as well.

Did you make reservations in advance for the Ring Taxi, or you just went there and got in it ?

Mike
