Another day is over. I've put some miles on today. Went to Neuschwanstein after visiting the friend. I actually drove into the field to just take the picture with the castle, Quattro is handy. After that went to Austria and on to Liechtenstein. Austria had a lot of nice twisties and many tunnels; the longest was 15.5km (almost 10 miles). The Liechtenstein is very crowded but once you get up to the castle - its no joke; extremely narrow, with cliff on the side and hardly any barriers. Here are couple of pics from today. Enjoy

It was FUN while it lasted...
Well, my trip is over 
I will do a more detailed report when I come back but here are few factsand tidbits: I turned in the car today for shipping to US; I put 1448 miles on the car while in Europe - that includes all kinds of conditions: wet, dry, city, mountains and still managed to average 21mpg. Not bad, since fuel economy wasnt my goal on this trip. The car is completely broken-in 
I got to drive the Nurburgring on Sunday: it was raining on and off and the track was very slippery. I did a really cool 4 wheel drift in one of the corners the car is very predictable and handles well yet it is a wrong tool for Ring. Not the whole loop is open to public, only a smallish portion of it I was hoping to max out the car on that long straight stretch but no luck. I took some pics while driving on the Ring, very illegal, so enjoy!! On to the pictures:
1. Famous carousel corner on the Ring
2-3. Ring visitors
4. On the autobahn
5. At the drop off office
