Was given the verbal WARNO this week that the Army is planning to send me to Germany Next Summer, probably September time frame. I'll be in the Baumholder area, and looking forward to connecting with any World members in the area. I've passed through Frankfurt on my way to and from the land of wonder (sarcasm) but other than that only know Ireland and Greece, the Rest of Europe is a mystery. Really looking forward to looking up family origins (Irish, Norwegian, Czeck/German & Italian). In typical Army fashion, I will still deploy to Afgan, return early then over to GE with half a breath of timing in between.... Hopefully will be a 3 year gig. A bit of a surprise, but a good thing. Looking forward to linking up with any World members in advance and while there.
Will bring the 912 but probably will wait till after I am there a bit, get the lay of the land, housing ect. If there is a garage, I will bring it otherwise will store for 3 years...... grrrrr...... Much to plan between now and then. Thought I was going back to the East Coast, but...... |

Very nice. We loved our couple years in Italy. Spent loads of time in Germany. Lots of houses with garages IIRC, so hopefully you can get one. Depending on your current vehicles/family situation, possibly consider getting new family haulers/commuter cars in Germany and using your orders to ship the 912 for free...as long as you're pretty sure you can get it road legal in Germany. Italy was a bit of a pain to get things registered if it wasn't fairly new. Small vehicles, wagons and diesel are ideal for Europe, but I was surprised how popular my friends with full-size trucks were in Italy with people buying furniture...some made it a side job.
I had an M3 and drove it all over, on the Autobahn at ridiculous speeds, and around the Nurburgring a few times. Awesome experience. |
