Default Hitting World Cup in June, anyone in Germany? How do I get a hold of an RS4 for a week?

I'm heading to Germany (June 12 U.S. vs. CZE at Gelsenkirchen and June 17 U.S. vs ITA at Kaiserslautern). I would love to meet up with any one who lives in Germany or who will be over for the cup.
I'd also like to get a hold of a B5 RS4 for a week, anyone know how to track one down?

Default Good luck prying one out of somebody's hands

Unfortunately, I'm a little out of the way otherwise, I'd give you a ride.

Default I always use Europcar in Europe. They have Audi and Porsche on the list but no RS4.

Porsche Carrera 4 3.6 manual, Boxter S 3.2 manual, Cayenne 3.2 automatic, and Audi A8 4.2 automatic are on the list now.<ul><li><a href="http://www.europcar.com/">link for Europcar. select special cars / other vehicles</a></li></ul>

Default enjoy watching maps and commit the images to memory...I always think so, but I couldn't.

1. Change the language of nav from German to English before you start driving.
2. Enjoy speed. Roads are far better than those in US. Minor Autoban tends to have longer no-limit area.
3. Pay attention to speed measuring robots etc...

4. Do not collide from behind and do not be collided on the center lane on Autobahn. Lanes are sometimes very narrow.
We watched abnormally many such accidents there, it may be due to elevated speed range.
Drivers of big trucks have BIG pride to educate us and not to make way for us. They must be Meisters.

There were many Audi's. RS4 has smaller side mirror on the right.

I like Trittenheim. We can find steeple of church at the center of villages.
There are some small wine makers operated by family. They sell very nice wine at very low price.

5. Take many pics and upload here, I beg you.<ul><li><a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trittenheim">link for Trittenheim in Wikipedia</a></li></ul>
