Picture report on 2011 E21 Alps trip including Alpina visit
After a wonderful first edition we took to the Alps again in 2011! BTW see here for the 2010 report.
Day 1... at Alpina!
Home!
Sven's new found love...
Old B6 engineer having a good look at the B6 and explains...
Even gardening is done in style at Alpina...
Time to move on!
Modifying Sven's car (weight loss operation on B11 conversion)
Polizei luckily not paying attention when people are taking a leak (far right)
Line up for Staller Sattel
Mandatory stop at Hotel Baur
Day 3
Gerrit/Peter, Sven/Gerwin and their service car
Yeeeaaaahhhh Stelvio, riding up from the north side
Catching the atmosphere...
Hilarious moped race on the Swiss Grimsel pass
My car after a week of Alps, just polished for the Sharknose Meet 2 days before we left

Hi Guys
Great trip
I think that you E21 experts ought to check out the IOM for a visit- remember NO speed limits TT course of 37.5 miles
and this
shows some of IOM- the Roof jumpers are from IOM and this is entirely shot here

yes that's right!
lots of car claubs organise trips over to IOM
see below Porsche Club GB:
http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/bcatalog/p ... m_menu.php
I would start by contcating Steampacket for any deals here:
http://www.steampacketholidays.com/
You could time the trip to coincide with Manx Classic - last weekend of April 2013 (if you get organised we can set up a class for E21s)
- or a Duke Trackday at the race track
http://www.duketrackdays.com/
In any event I would recommned staying at Mount Murray Hotel (lots of secure parking)http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/mount-m ... tAodWBoAdA
and book yourselves in for a BBQ at my place!!
How about that for an offer???

Re: Picture report on 2011 E21 Alps trip including Alpina vi
are those brakepads?
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Don't think so, it's more dirt gathered during a week of driving and quite some rain some days. I'm pretty hard on brakes but this would be too much on the streets haha
Tim: Thanks, I'll do some studying and check with the guys here!
