Not really the right place but thought you guys might enjoy.

A few of my favourites from a recent eurotrip. 13 days, 6 countries, 3000 miles, 3500 pics.

We took the ferry from Port of Tyne, Northumbria UK to Amsterdam drove through Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy. We went to the museum and factory tours (where we could) of BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani.

Then made our way back through Austria, Switzerland, Germany Netherlands and back to Blighty.

Enjoy. I will make a dedicated thread of images with the accompanying editorial which will be appearing in the British version of Porsche post.

I'm burning with envy at that road trip Tom! Great series of photos. You all really love your cars going by how immaculate and well polished they look! The Ferrari museum is now on my bucket list.

Thanks for the great photo’s guys.
Tom, I know you like your German rides, but after such an extensive trip to some of the world’s most prestigious museums, if you were allowed to pick only 1 to be yours, which would it be???????
I have seen mine from your images

I certainly do! Definitely a german car guy through and through.

Saying that I saw some of my all time favourites - Zonda F, Ferrari F40, Porsche 959, lamborghini Miura, BMW M1 the list goes on! Really was amazing! But I'm quite happy with the Red 911 in the pics.

Heres a pic of me and my dad just before we set off.

Although the new 911 Targa GTS is a thing of beauty and is most certainly on my list. Fell in love with the silver Targa on our journey and the new targa is beautiful.

So many people had love for the car on the journey people would stop, wave, watch etc when we got to the lamborghini factory and drove through the main gates all 3 cars were surrounded by tourists people wanting pics wondering where we were from etc was an experience I certainly won't forget.

As for the Ferrari museum the main one where the factory is… its very touristy and wasn't really very impressive. The Enzo Ferrari Museum was incredible much more out of the way and quite hard to find but was apart of Enzo Ferraris estate and was beautiful much more up my street.

if i'm allowed to share constructive feedback (w/o indicating i would have made better): to my taste too tightly framed/cropped...

I love the way it brings out the colours in the headlight lenses, I saw a photo project where someone gathered a load of plastic rulers and protractors, added a CIRC/POL then took the image, the colours the filter reveals are amazing, just like the headlights on your truck

Heres another one from Silverstone Classics 2015. Probably my favourite image.
