Hi Guys
So I visited Austria last week, went to Vienna and Graz but really went for the GP. Here is the first selection of pics from the weekend and my thoughts
We stayed in Graz which was 1hr 20 mins (2 trains to the circuit). the circuit is set in a stunnign valley but weather so unpredictable.
I used my fathers X6 to get to Graz from Vienna - really changed my opinion on them - stunning crusing machine. Dad is a Diplomat hence the WD plates - also means you can park anywhere

they are a very nice car - lucky to have one Nic with your R. Best of both worlds ( and I am not taking the piss)
