Hello from the bavarian-raptor

[bavarian-raptor]

Just wanted to say hello.. I got my 2014 Raptor as one of the last produced, this Friday.
I am from Bavaria - close to Munich.

Unfortunately I just have to give away my drivers license for one months. So I can not say to much about the car.

Welcome to FRF !

Let us see some pictures, or we will be forced to conclude you actually bought a beat up Fiat Punto !

I don’t want to drive fiat again ;-)

I probably don’t want to know how much that last picture cost you.

The truck looks great though.

Thank you.. I wasn't filling up the car completly. But we pay 1.5€ per Litre right now. So just 6,46 $/gal.. ;-)

I will keep you updated on the mods..

well... it’s been worse and at least for us the exchange rate isn’t too hateful. That has got to be a rare site over there.

Good luck driving the best around... I had an f150 when I was stationed in Kaiserslautern and it was pretty big by European road standards. Congrats.

Sooooo...what happened that you have to give away your driver's license for a month?!

I think @bavarian-raptor will have it relatively easy. I know we’ve got at least one Sottish Gen2 owner. I’ve been on roads in Scotland that were barely big enough for 2 way travel by scooter, much less things with 4 wheels. I think the roads in Germany are much more predictable and of more generous caliber than say, Ireland, Scotland and a very few British roads. I Ireland & Scotland in particular, you could come around a corner on what we call a one lane goat path and find a farm combine coming your way, or herd of sheep the likes of which you’ve never witnessed before or everything could be fine.

I have to give my license away, because I wasn’t keeping enough distance to the car in front of me.

Road situation is most of the time ok. But we also have some really small road at the country side. But also in big cities it can be very interesting.
But the car is tough built
