    Day 3 / part 1: Audi R8 V10 meets Stelvio

    Boy, was that a ride.

    And one thing i learned on this trip . it can make a huge difference from which side you approach a pass.

    Enough said - enjoy

    Thank you Ben - Epic it was / is / will ever be in my memory


    I let you down a little bit over the past days, but this anniversary year (Audi: 100, me 40) seems to be my Audi year

    Simply awesome.

    I encourage EVERYONE I know to do an "epic" road trip, they're are unforgettable.

    For me, I did not have near the car you did, just an old Camaro Z28, but we did a 31 day, 11,000 mile road trip through 28 States. That was a once in a lifetime epic road trip for us. I was 18 years old with my 19 year old cousin. Us guys had a great time.

    1992:

    3 Austrian 19 years old
    3 months
    2 countries (USA & Canada - from east to west to east, did not count the states, but there were many)
    1 Ford Aerostar (white / long wheelbase - not sexy, but our home for the trip)
    16.000 miles (Start with 80 miles on the clock)

    Ben, i know what you are talking about. And it did help to get new views on things
