Just got back, it was awesome
I flew in on the 1st, picked up my S3 on the 2nd and just got back into the states. It's awesome. Do it. The Audi forum is awesome and the tour is amazing. Get out of the major cities and drive the countryside. You won't regret it. My wife an I are already considering when we replace her car with doing something similar.
Major trip destinations: Munich -> Ingolstadt -> Munich -> Neuschwanstein -> Rothenburg -> Freiburg -> Nurburgring -> Berlin -> Munich (again for drop off/fly out) |
Congrats. Now comes the most difficult part. Waiting for your car to ship, clear customs, and get delivered to your dealer!

Congrats from me too - Post some pics if you have some!
I'm heading there in a couple of weeks to do the same thing, but with a more Eastern itinerary, ending up in Hamburg. Can you comment on how long the Ingolstadt part ran for? From being picked up (I'm assuming in Munich?) to driving off in your car? I'm trying to figure out how far I'll be able to get that afternoon driving, after the factory tour / delivery. I don't want to shortcut any of that of course - it's part of the reason I'm going - just want to plan for it. |

How easy for the drop off? Do you arrange your own transportation to the airport. Oh.. pic pls. |

The Munich drop-off point is actually within the airport complex itself, so you just walk to your terminal building from there. In Paris, I was told that they will arrange for a taxi/shuttle to take you to the terminal. I believe that it is free but my memory could be wrong.

thanks for the info. When you are dropping it off, did they mention how quickly they will put on a ship? Or share the vessel or voyage#?
