Well what can I say, I love Europe. I just came back from a beautiful vacation and thought sharing with you some pics.
We did Spain (Madrid and Barcelona), France (Paris, Nice and Monaco), Italy (Venice, Rome and Florence) and finally Germany (Ingolstadt and Munich). We did pretty much all by train and I left the best (Audi Driver's Day) for last. If you don't know about the program I highly recommend it, for more info check <a href="http://www.audi.ca/audi/ca/en2/experience/Audi_Driver_Day.html">http://www.audi.ca/audi/ca/en2/experience/Audi_Driver_Day.html</a>
Here you have some pics of some cars you don't see every day.
A lot of micro cars...

More of that parallel parking strategy....

Honda Accord ... and here it Acura TSX

Beautiful beaches of Barcelona

The Allroad we don't get here

Some beautiful cars in Monaco

Nice little old Fiat with 70HP
<img src="http://www.jalx.com/europe/DSC05610.JPG" />
I have to post it, this was really breath taking
<img src="http://www.jalx.com/europe/DSC06013.JPG" />
And here you have some pics of the RS4 I got to drive for 3 days through the Germany and Italy's Alps..

<img src="http://www.jalx.com/europe/DSC06348.JPG" />
Only 3000KM when i got it. I end up doing about 1200KM.
<img src="http://www.jalx.com/europe/DSC06352.JPG" />
The Ceramic brakes saved my butt a few times on the Alps...
<img src="http://www.jalx.com/europe/DSC06379.JPG" />
Really nice white interior
<img src="http://www.jalx.com/europe/DSC06402.JPG" />
Hey, the cup holder works
<img src="http://www.jalx.com/europe/DSC06453.JPG" />
Well, that's about it. I got to up to 250KM on the Autobahn and the car was rock solid, even my wife was comfortable with me driving that fast (that does not happen often). That said, I used about 30 liters to do 80KM at that speed.
Anyway, great vacation and the Audi Driver's day was the perfect final.
Thanks for reading.

Check the website, the Audi Driver's Day program it's pretty good and well priced. You get to choose from any top model, RS4 Cab was my first option and the RS6 was my second.

I took the Audi driver's day program "The sky is the limit - this could be heaven" and it was 625 Euros per person. This includes the car for 3 days, 2 nights on a 4 star hotel, and some meals.

... my two weeks in France was nice but three weeks would be that much nicer. Add an audi to the mix and I'd be set.
I can't wait to go back to europe.
