D'oh!

Apparently my coolant is low! Guess we're stopping for food! I have spare coolant, just need to let the car cool down first.

mjn77 · 06-27-2016, 08:35 AM

An E90 in its 2nd home....

To buy some more coolant

mjn77 · 06-27-2016, 11:17 AM

Damn Germany and their "dropped kerbs"......they're not!!

Knicked two alloys, only a few mm, but very annoying.

mjn77 · 06-27-2016, 12:29 PM

Tonight's hotel. Proper old skool German

mjn77 · 06-27-2016, 12:32 PM

Awesome view on the walk to the restaurant

X Driver · 06-27-2016, 01:16 PM

Very nice to see you traveling around, would like to start for a trip now!

I will do a part of France and Italy in summer.

Excellent trip so far, thanks for sharing! Let's keep the pics coming. And that breakfast looked fantastic.

mjn77 · 06-28-2016, 12:03 AM

So, day 4. This is the day we leave behind the sedate roads of the German Alpine Route and drop down into Austria and tackle the Solk Pass, Turracherhohe Pass and the Nockalm Pass. I'm so excited i barely slept last night and woke up at 02.30am! Anyway, after a quick bit of reading about how awful England were against Iceland, i was back asleep in no time.

And the inside

And the drinks system. You just take what you want and put a piece of paper on the board with your room number

Well, cars are meant to be driven. I can't understand people that buy a lovely car and only drive it to work and back.

Posting this from the top of the Nockhalm pass

mjn77 · 06-28-2016, 11:56 AM

Today's destination

Some locals may be familiar with the location as there is a Porsche museum in the town.

mjn77 · 06-28-2016, 11:57 AM

View from the balcony at the hotel

mjn77 · 06-28-2016, 12:26 PM

Parked up at tonight's hotel

P1 · 06-28-2016, 02:44 PM

Whoa. You're actually one street away from where my parents have place. Talk about a small world. Tell me you did the Nocky Flitzer!

I'm talking about the Nocky Flitzer in Turracher Hohe itself. If you look at the lake, it's directly on the southernmost point. Here is a stock image of it, I don't have my pics on this PC:

Did you pop by the Jagerwirt for a drink?
