awesome thread man, just awesome! congrats on the purchase.
love ur route. wife & i are going to ED in Sept too to pick up her early birthday present. we also consider drive to Paris but since we just went to Bern 3 months ago so maybe we will be heading east this time instead. so far we're planning to Austria (Wien) first then head to Czech Republic (Prague). we also plan to go to Frankfurt for the autoshow. i'm not sure how she'll like the ''Ring'' idea but i'll just keep trying to make it happen.
