Last month I and 10 other 911 (991) car owners had an amazing week driving to Italy, stopping at Stuttgart en route as we had pre-booked the Porsche 911 factory tour. It was amazing to see the whole process from engine build to leather upholstery assembly, the marriage of the body to the engine, and final assembly. We had to hand in our phones and cameras as no photography is permitted whilst on the factory tour! Then we headed off for 3 days at Arabba. We used Arabba as our base for excursions on the various Dolomite passes. We then went our separate ways, some starting on the way back to the UK via Munich and some continuing their driving tour to other destinations. I decided to do some sight-seeing in the Jungfrau region using Interlaken as my base for the next 3 days, visiting Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, and Harder Kulm. First, and the highlight of the trip, was visiting the Sphinx Observatory which is also known as the 'Top of Europe' on Jungfraujoch mountain. I returned to the via UK Metz in France.
As you can appreciate a convoy of 911's created a bit of interest, especially when parked up! Frequently people took selfies of themselves next to our cars! Generally other drivers were very courteous and saw that we were in a convoy and let is pass. Finding suitable parking was another matter!
