European Delivery/Tourist Delivery



My tourist delivery date (not fast enough) approaching, I started to chronicle the wait, the delivery and the subsequent road trip on a blog. Here are the first few blog entries:
  1. European Delivery of my 2013 Porsche Boxster S: The Prologue
  2. European Delivery of my 2013 Porsche Boxster S: The Program
  3. Inching closer to the delivery date: Of Packages and Order Status Codes
  4. Searching the Web for interesting road trips & experiences with the Tourist Delivery
  5. Update on the Order Status and Hotel booking
  6. A new Racing Yellow Boxster S has been "born"
I will post updates to this thread when I have new postings.

Feedback, wishes, suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy
Mike

The planned Itinerary

Since we are getting very close to the delivery this Friday, I posted the current itinerary:

The planned Itinerary

We have a few stops that we have to hit, but inbetween we are fairly free. So if anyone has any additional recommendations, we will consider them, but will have to trade them off against some of the items we have planned.

  2. European Delivery in Leipzig: Driving the Corkscrew
  3. European Delivery in Leipzig: Meeting our "Baby" Boxster for the first time
  4. The first road trip: Leipzig - Merseburg - Leipzig
  5. Starting the trip: Leipzig to Zurich
  6. Visiting Friends and Family in Zurich: Driving Ricken-Schwaegalp
