Higher Ground Tour 2022 - an ultimate experience for machine and mind

dutchm2 · 07-19-2021, 03:31 AM

Not a big surprise but the fact is as time moves, rules and restrictions regarding the pandemic evolve in a way that everything is unpredictable nowadays. The rules are changing weekly. A lot can change between now and the trip next year. So we just need to wait and see how this will impact our tour.

Talking with one friend he mentioned the following - "Switzerland is voting at the end of the month for a law that you need to be fully vaccinated to travel to Switzerland. If not 14 days into quarantine are necessary"

Therefore here's some information site about entering Switzerland.

I am german but live in switzerland and will never take that shot and I will cross the boards for sure in further also without any problems.

Thanks for the heads up Flo88 ... You never know what future can bring as everything changes so quickly nowadays - so important is we're aware of what's happening and not be unexpectedly catch due lack of info.

It's decided by the group that is willing to join the event [closed group] that the event will take place in the end of May 2022. If you're still interested to join we might have 1-2 spots left. For that feel free to shout here or pm.

Cheers!

Indeed! What's the original color Alexander_Sebastian?

Alexander_Sebastian · 07-22-2021, 10:43 AM

Thanks man

Its the original color. Snapper rocks blue, but ceramic coated. In the not so bright light it turns kind of cyan.

Car is stage II+, with some eventuri stuff, hjs downpipe, MPE.... picture is a little old. now custom suspension, tyres and spacers are added.

About HGT'22. Regularly I'll be sharing some of the locations we will be visiting. Let's start with a very special museum. Porsche Museum

The staff gave me a warning. Once when I accidently touched a car with my finger whilst i was looking at the interior and then again when i dared to cross to the white line around an exhibit.

Well .. I can understand the temptation - normally on the car museums there's a line to separate (white line you mentioned on that case) what is your space vs car space.... Anyway it's always good to keep this social distance key factor - i guess nowadays we're much more used to apply it instantaneous - so we will be fine!

mjn77 · 07-26-2021, 12:17 PM

The only reason i was behind the white line was because i walked the wrong way, so i thought i was behind the white line.

I believe it's easy to get distracted in such gorgeous place

HGT'22 - Planning

Before hitting the Alps we will be experiencing some beautiful roads and areas. Places like Tuebingen, Hohenzollern Castle, Upper Danube Nature Park and Sisikon and finally we hit our first pass..... the gorgeous Gotthard Pass at 2100 meters 🚗⛰ Somewhere there stands the third longest road tunnel in the world, was opened back in 1980, a car tunnel.

Tuebingen

Hohenzollern Castle

Upper Danube Nature Park

Sisikon

Gotthard Pass

mjn77 · 07-28-2021, 11:21 AM
