Hi everyone, thank you for the great response on this series! Please know you can watch episode 2 and 3 as well, I can attest that it gets more excited and beautiful the further we go into the Alps! Enjoy watching. *Read below for the list of mountain passes in this episode* Episode 2: ua-cam.com/video/vKZu0zJoUjM/v-deo.html First stop: Solitude Race track, Germany 1. Hahntenjoch (closed down, had to turn back), Austria 2. Fernpass, Austria Arrived in Pfunds
Hi Christopher, that's nice to hear! At the end of the last episode I mention how you don't need a 911 to do this, you can do it with any car and any region at your disposal. Just enjoy the company! Take care
This is awesome. I did a roadtrip across North America with my dad some years ago and the memories are some of my best. We didn't have a Porsche for that trip (only a lowly MINI Cooper), but it's the experience and memories that count. I've driven on some of the same roads you have, though, while in Europe for work. Beautiful. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! In the last episode at the end I get to the fact that you don't need a fancy car to make a trip like this and make fantastic memories. Wether it's a shitbox, a car you care about or a daily driver, you'll have fun driving nonetheless and the memories are made with the people you're with. Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for watching 😊
I remember as a kid in the 70s going with my parents from Lisbon to Nice, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, France and Belgium in an old Peugeot 204 and latter a 305 with only a map. That's what your missing, a paper map. You had the car but not the mindset.
I'm sorry you feel that way. For me the focus is on the experience and the company, not in any way the means you use to get around (being the car, navigation, etc.). I hope everyone feels urged to do a Roadtrip and make valuable memories, even if it's in a Daihatsu Charade. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed it despite the sat nav ordeal 😉
Awesome video. I just built a '89 Carrera 3.2 to do the same sort of touring in the US. I'm breaking it in right now and making sure things are OK, but if I have half the fun you had I'll be going good. Your car, the filming, and the landscapes are all beautiful.
Thank you, that means a lot! We car enthusiasts are always eager to say "this is the stuff what dreams are made of" but I feel like we have a tendency of putting a goal in front of us, working towards it and achieve our actual dreams. Having a passion is the greatest gift we can ever have. Go make that trip, and have the most fun possible!
Thank you! We feel lucky to be able to do this and feel like there's a lot more roadtrips we should do in the upcoming years. Definetely take the opportunity when it presents itself!
Very nice video! Great car (87?), stunning scenery, and excellent story and editing! Are you a video pro? I will be doing something similar in a few months- driving my 87 Carerra across the US, from California to Florida. Looking forward to your next video!
Hi! Thank you very much for the kind words. There are 3 episodes in total and all of them are on the channel (or always linked at the very end of each episode) so feel free to go and watch the other ones :) WOW, that sounds like an epic trip! Sounds absolutely epic 🤩 Ours is an '84 by the way.
Great video, awesome footage, great editing and legendary car... Bravo ! As a French neighbor, I dream of doing this roadtrip too (and if possible, in a 911 3.2L). Do you by any chance share your roadmap and stops? Well, thanks for sharing, your episodes are amazing!
Hi Pierre, I promised that I would add all the mountain passes to the descriptions but I haven't gotten around to it yet unfortunately. Thanks for the reminder though 😄 Thanks for watching as well! Hope you get to do this trip soon, even better if it's in a 3.2!
On this car they were retrofitted, but I do think it was allowed back in the day to sell new cars with yellow headlights. I'm not 100% sure what the details on this are but it sure looks really nice on the 911!
We went from Wednesday to Sunday at the end of July. It was fairly busy at times but sometimes we got lucky! It never felt too crowded, always a nice atmosphere. Usually most people pass through Switzerland to go to Italy (their loss ;) )

Wonderful .
Green always looks nice on 911
Would love to do a trip like this with my son some day. Great car, great scenery, great trip.
My dream would come true if I could do this with my son! Awesome!

I would love to take my MINI on a trip through the Alps. They were built to be enjoyed on roads like those.

Amazing! Very keen to see the next episode :D
Thank you for watching! 2 more to come 😉
Damn I love my Country...
Thanks for having us 😁 and thanks for watching 🏁
Ahh… this is my dream. One day.
It's worth it!
It’s my dream, too. Beautiful film.
Thank you! We feel lucky to be able to do this and feel like there's a lot more roadtrips we should do in the upcoming years. Definetely take the opportunity when it presents itself!
@@Retroschaft best wishes
Don’t dream - Do it. It’s only One Life. Enjoy
awesome roadtrip!
It was fantastic!
Great video 👌🏻
260.000 Km on a well maintained classic 911 is basically delivery milage. Just joking, i would trust that thing too!

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, I didn't think your brake lights were working as you parked your car in the hotel garage.

Hi, you can see the list of passes covered in each episode in the pinned comment at the top of the comment section in each video.
@@Retroschaft Awesome, thank you so much for your responsiveness 🙏

Did Belgium used to have a yellow headlights law like France? It really suits that 911!
On this car they were retrofitted, but I do think it was allowed back in the day to sell new cars with yellow headlights. I'm not 100% sure what the details on this are but it sure looks really nice on the 911!
Beautiful car and video. Why the plate that says 993?😊
That was a 100% and pretty funny coincidence!
🎯🔋🧘♂️🙏👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
How long did the total trip take you?
Wich time during the year did you go, because it is not very busy it seems.
We went from Wednesday to Sunday at the end of July. It was fairly busy at times but sometimes we got lucky! It never felt too crowded, always a nice atmosphere. Usually most people pass through Switzerland to go to Italy (their loss ;) )
Too little video footage of the actual car and almost no sound of the air cooled engine!
Great car, but not good to run the front spoiler and not a rear one. You either need both or none.
