    OT: Euro Delivery, what must I not miss??

    I will be picking up my C4S in May and will spend 3 weeks driving around Germany(Bavaria, Nurburgring area, upper Franconia) Austria, Switzerland(passes!) and maybe Lake Como.

    I would appreciate any input on what I should not miss! What do you think I have to do with my new C4S?!?!

    Roads, passes, hotels, breweries, restaurants?????

    Thanks in advance!

    Tkids,

    There are quite a few passes in Switzerland, that are not to be missed, some with mostly sharp and narrow turns, some with more wider ones.

    However, May might be a bit early for some of them due to snow. If you let me know when you'll be here (early or late May), I can check out which ones are usually open at that time. How much time to plan to spend in Switzerland?

    You said the magic word: Passes!

    They're what Porsches are made for: Compact, agile, high power-to-weight ratio, and tactile controls that talk back to you.

    As Matt said, some of the higher ones will be closed in May, but you should still get in some really beautiful scenery and a lot of good driving through the twisties in the Switzerland / Austria / Italy triangle.
