My friend whom I have known since I was 13 is now living is St Petersburg Russia. In late August on the 24th he is going to fly to Frankfurt Germany to buy a used car to drive back to Russia.

I will fly into Germany at the same time will meet him. The WRC Rally Germany http://www.omv-adac-rallye.de/v2/uebersichtnews/index.php?this=33&parent=0&tree=-33-&sprache=e&an=rallye&in=deutschland will be held that weekend nearby in the Trier region which is german wine counrty. So I will get a chance to see it live and up close.

Then will we drive north to Stockholm, take a ferry to Helsinki, and drive to St Petersberg. http://www.viamichelin.co.uk/viamichelin/gbr/dyn/controller/ItiWGJSFullMapGeneration?firstMapId=-.jxjq9dogv60m&rnd=1114373327375&E_wg=210505115lS16J305114220828391065ITIWG54102153 gbr004r1035101g10111a10131103EUR000cZnJhbmtmdXJ000 001008113ckp100131g10111a10131103EUR000baGVsc2lua2 k00001009114207k10013010010072005114039.004-1.00110001001001001001001003gbr011&mapId=-.jxjq9dogv60m&mapType=3&mapSize=big&x0=156&y0=156&x1=444&y1=344&&dtmDeparture=24/04/2005&function=okMap&pim=true

I plan on returning at the end of September. I am very excited about this trip. I have never been overseas.

Ron wants to find a e34 or e39 touring to buy. I am sure he can find one in Germany. Can you think of a better vehicle to have for a euro road trip?

I am very excited to say the least

Scott, have fun! No, I can't think of a nicer car for a road trip than an E34! :D

Cheers,

Maybe you try to get some help from the guys on the German E34 board.

I already helped a German stationed in St Petersburg now 3 times this year with an E32 750iL. The BMW shop there has no technical skill/knowledge on the old E32 750iL.
On the other hand there are plenty of newer BMW now in Russia, even a lot of V12 7 series, the new rich class has plenty of money.
