  • Worthersee 2016 & Bonus Gumball Content (Lots of Pics)

    My time in the UK could be coming to an end so I decided it might be my last chance to get over for a European road trip for a while and luckily Bart was available to help drive so fairly last minute, we decided to do another visit to Worthersee in Austria, as we also attended the event in 2014.

    The week started out in Poland and I got to check out the infamous Lambo tractor (sorry Bob) and even partially seed one of Bart's fields.







    The next morning we got on the road, we took the long way through Germany so we could experience some autobahn action and McRibs at McDonalds. The virtual cockpit in the new Euro Passat is amazing and so are many of the features of this car including lane assist, radar cruise control, and the LED matrix lights making the 10+ hours to Worthersee easier.



    RS7 to follow on the Autobahn



    Wednesday morning was the first official day of the event and we started out fairly early. There was less official presence this year with only a VW booth and no Audi, Skoda or Seat as we saw last time, thanks dieselgate!

















    This MK3 was from the States, made us miss the TTRS with Alberta plates on our previous trip.







    GTI Clubsport and Clubsport S were the main stars on the VW booth, celebrating 35 years of Worthersee and 40 years of the GTI.

        Later in the evening the event shifted to the famous gas station up the hill from Maria Wurth. There was an insane police presence and they were pulling people over left and right and they had installed a number of speed bumps in the area making traffic pretty slow.





        Random branding was pretty common, along with low windshield stickers this year.





        TTRS 2.5 in there and Audi ceramic brakes!







        Golf R Variant



        Another insane build from the Finnish crew

          Well the day after Worthersee we started the journey back to Poland but decided to go through Budapest, Hungary, as the Gumball was coming through there on Thursday evening. We arrived at the same time as them but the crowds were pretty intense so we tried to get as many pics as we could before it got too dark.























          The Lambo Gallardo based Batmobile (crappy pic sorry)





          Bentley Bentayga



          Reflective tron striping on a Aventador SV makes for a fun pic



          F12 TDF




          That wraps up the week, we did close to 3,000kms and hit 7 countries so big thanks to Bart for supplying the car and doing most of the driving too!!!

                              Thanks everyone, it was a great few days and yes the quality of some cars is just nuts, getting brand new cars and fully doing them up must not be cheap!

                              Coincidentally enough I saw the Harlequin on my street this afternoon as I went out to the shop, it was 100% the OE car.
