After reading that itinerary mine seems lame. I'm sitting here planning with the Michelin Green Guide for Alsace and Lorraine. Maybe I can convince my girlfriend to trade wine tasting and fine dining for car factory tours and a race...not likely.

ska///235i · 03-13-2014, 08:17 PM

Sounds like a plan...have fun

Jason · 03-13-2014, 10:05 PM

Have a great time! And be sure to post up a post-trip report. Would love to feature it on the homepage.

That's why you leave the girlfriend home and invite your buddies

Kidding aside, you will have an awesome time! Have fun!

I know man! Haha.

Oh and yes, I wasn't sure about posting about our test drive. Didn't want to get a certain someone in trouble lol

webdither · 03-14-2014, 01:11 PM

That's going to be an awesome trip! Giving me a few ideas for my trip this summer as well

webdither · 03-14-2014, 01:13 PM

Also noticed you're going with Estoril and Terra! I think that's going to be one classy combo! I am tired of black interiors and was thrilled when I saw Terra was an option.

Thanks man!

I agree. Didn't want to do EB and Black leather as it's too original and wanted something with more contrast. And the superman combo would be too flashy imo.

I thought about changing it to AW and Coral Red, but I'm just going to stick to my initial choice as I always wanted EB

Couldn't agree more. I always regretted not going with EB on my 3 so I will rectify that mistake this time. It's such a stunning color in person in almost any light

Can't wait to see photos of the EB with Terra!
