Germany
 

Is anybody on this site live in or been to Germany? I have every intention to set my nova up for some on track fun but now I'm headed to Germany for three years. Hopefully I can see some road racing while I'm there and learn a few things. So when I come back to my nova I can do it up.

Is there anything you all recommend me going to see or visit while I am over there?

I lived at Katterbach Army Airfield (near Nurmberg) for 4.5 years. I don't know your specific circumstances, but I brought home a wife, so that's something to do...

In all seriousness, you MUST go drive the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Even if you don't have a great car, it's still amazing. I suggest you learn as much of the course as possible using Gran Turismo 4 before going, as this track is absolutely terrifying in the best possible way.

Take advantage of every opportunity to travel. Here's a list of the places I saw while stationed in DE:

Moscow, Oktoberfest, Paris, Prague, The Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes Museums, Snowboarding in the Alps, London, Saint Petersburg, Berlin, Krakow, Stockholm, Budapest, Bratislava, Venice, Amsterdam, Florence, the beaches of Normandy, Cologne, the Champagne region, and a million little things in between. It was an absolutely priceless time in my life. PM me if you have any specific questions.

Do you know specifically where you'll be stationed?

I was born in Hieldburg. Was back in Frankfurt in the late 70's and went to High school. Then I lived in Aschaffenburg in the late 80's. I love Germany, get out and live it while you are there.

I am stationed out of Patch baracks, Stuttgart area. I am going to ship my 67 camaro there when I get back from this deployment. I would plan on storing or garaging your car for the winter. I am not too sure where you will be at but where I am it stays white for the entire season.

LOL....Already got a wife already and two boys that are going with me so I won't need to find a wife. I will be at Ramstien AFB. We plan on doing as much traveling as we can. My wife and kids were the ones that wanted to go over there so we are...Go figure. Gotta keep mamma happy!

Been to Nuremberg, Amberg, and Munich. Very cool... I took a river boat cruise down the Danube river from Nuremberg to Budapest, stopping in several cities/countries.....LOTS of history and cool cathedrals. I am going back as soon as I can!!

Tons of beautiful places to visit, lots of history and nature to explore. Quite a lot of car stuff happening too. Oh, and you have to do the Ring many times...

It's so much fun.
