Thanks

I just can't decide whether to upgrade my suspension to Bilstein's before I do my trip around Europe in August and I have these roads to play on:

DO-IT!

Edit: Driving on the roads daily? How could it not get any better-I hate you.

Yes, 8 Porsches in convoy on these roads:

Vosges Mountains
YouTube - riding the bike in the french vosges

Furka Pass
YouTube - What a Furka

Susten Pass
YouTube - Susten Pass - Swiss Alps

Grimsel Pass

Albula

...and the TopGear route (amongst others)

For 11 days

Only trouble is that there will be a lot of motorway driving on the trip and Bilstein's are not great on long trips being too bumpy. Hmmmmm

If your car looks that good it would be a shame not to take pics after a good wash

Great looking turbo Alex! I'm kind of partial to silver myself.

Car is fast man, and looks amazing as well... Do the suspension, to me that is a crucial upgrade FIRST to any car

Thanks guys for the kind words

Yes, I need some more videos I know - just that it's hard to shoot and drive at the same time plus my Mrs doesn't really want to know when she's my passenger. Might get a suction cup mount for the HD camcorder when I do all those fine roads in Switzerland
