2011 550 M-Sport - ED Pics

lakerpride05 · 09-20-2011, 12:48 AM

Here are the pics from the Welt and a few in Austria. July 1 pickup from the Welt. 2 nights in Munich, 2 nights in Salzburg, and 2 nights in Vienna. Great trip but the redelivery wait time is a killer. The last 2 pics really freaked us out. Dude was just sitting on air. No fish lines or anything. Still wondering how he did that. Anyhow, enjoy the pics...

Here are a couple pics of the Don Juan (which shipped my car back to the US) and the VPC in Port Hueneme. Damn boat needs a couple of turbos to get it here faster!

Thanks Lui! I know, right? I was so obsessed with tracking the car that I totally forgot about posting the pics. I will post some more pics later this week with before and after shots (Modding time!!)

I think I'll do the Euro delivery next time. I go every couple of years anyway. Did you take the tour of the Munich factory? It's amazing!

The guy floating in the air is actually sitting in a chair whose frame is suspended all the way down through his cane to a base under the mat on the ground.

Wow that is pretty clever! Had me baffled

Yeah very nice pics. Were any of those pics taken around or close to Munich (other than the ones at the Welt).

I am planning to pick mine up and drop it off the next day, but have a couple of hours for a photoshoot. Would like some nice pictures.

Only pics in Munich were at the Welt. The scenic shots were taken in Salzburg, Austria. Great Autobahn drive if you have the time.
