It all started with this... The Machine... A 4 Cylinder Audi A4... 2.0 Liter mofo pumping approx 200 bhp...

After playing Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed, I was into racing! and cars! Thats when I found out that Porsche is what my ultimate thing in life is! It may sound stupid, but hey! haven't you seen my first page? Look again, here is the link...

Then when I came to Germany, I realised, all the tracks in the game were actually real locations around Europe!! OMG! I so wanted to go to these places, and what better way to do so than on a Porsche! I knew we could rent cars, any make provided you cough up the required money! And a Porsche is worth the money you spend... Its the best there is!

And no matter how long you work, in what so ever position you work, it is IMPOSSIBLE for us to by a Porsche in an entire lifetime... Because, a Porsche Carerra GT costs around a whoping 100000 Euros!

So... my funda was to rent a classy car and go to some place in Germany! But, life is not so simple! I was in Germany and had the money to do it... I was so close to realising my dream! That ultimate thing in life was coming to be a reality! And that too when I am just 22 years old!! It felt like I hit jackpot! But, no!!

One can't rent super car of a Porsche just like that!! Yeah! Else it would be too simple! And every mofo Tom, ba(bad ass) Dick and sob Harry would boast about driving a Porsche... So, now, I'm satisfied that when I get to ride a Porsche, I will deserve it!! :) so near yet so far... now, i will wanna drive it even more! i like this! i wanna wait and do it when i'm good for it!

But never the less, we rented the machine... It is a splendid car!!

And... we chose to go to Schwarzwald! That was a good decision! :)

It was an awesome trip...
Started at the Europe Car rentals... I'd booked a car for the trip... and went to collect it... Boy gave us an A4 with navigation system after a 20 minute delay... When I had the key of an Audi in my hand, I couldn't help but smile! That thieve kinda smile!

And he told us to go to their garage and on the place no.44, the car would be there!

"oh! ok! thanks! Isn't anyone going to be there? just to tell us how to use the car?"
"You know how to drive right?"
"yes, Offcourse!"
"Then just go down and you will find the car!! There will be no one there!"
"oh! ok! well... thanks again! and see you!"

and... there it was... the Audi A4... in the underground parking lot... which was a lot under! a coupla floors under for the trains and 'locals'... then a couple more for car parks etc!

We sat inside... and... my god! I was in a German car!! Took some time to figure out how the navigation system works, in English and then headed off towards our home. We didn't have a clue about the route back! just followed the Navig system! it was dark and we didn't even know where we were going! No glitches, we reached safe and sound... just a couple wrong turns... u know, coz i'm so used to left side driving! :)

the next morning...

started out trip... and had to get into the Autobahn! The mutter of all roads in the world! the name itself is sufficient! The only place in the world with no speed limits!! I played safe and stuck to some speed limits. 130kmph minimum! :) since it was my first time, i wanted no pain! So gently I entered... the Autobahn... and slowly eased the throttle... and the 2 liter diesel engine roared and accelerated off... from the 50kmph max limit on the entry lane to the 130kmph min speed Autobahn!
Slowly i engaged the clutch and changed to 3rd, 4th, 5th.... and 6th gears... ooh! oooh! oooooh!!
The anticipation... the acceleration... the sensation... it is unbelivable...
Though the first time, i wanted more! First time is always fun... you find everything so new and pure and sexy! so i decided to just GO FOR IT...

so... i entered... this time, to the left lane, the fastest of em all... throttle going down... engine reving up... and the speedo read 130... 140.. 160... it was like a miracle... so gentle, yet so much! in just 5 minutes!

Then came... ... ... the time for the exit... from a 160 odd to 50kmph... the ABS continuously pumping them brakes to keep us stable and not slide off track under such inhuman braking... gentle? u bet!

This was the autobahn... and our trip was to the schwarzwald! it had just started!! we drive into the start of the black forest... and took a 250 km long circular route which goes through the wald... called Schwarzwald Bäderstraße... and then my dream started materializing... vast forests... and german homes here and there... and at some places beautiful fields and grasslands... cows! yes cows grazing in the fields... and lumber mills... everything picturistiqe!

then... i had an idea... why not go off road?! so... we headed off into the woods... on a non road... the ESP working hard to kick in enough traction to keep us on the slippery track! and in front of me... i had a dejavu... i've been here before! yes!! this place... ooh! so cool!!

thanks to the NFS 5 boys! a classy job they have done!! they mofoin RULE!

We continued the journey... now, back on road... so much of stuff to look at and i was on the steering wheel looking forward, lest i get into trouble! its my first time u see... and i only had little protection...
in the form of insurance... still i was liable for 500 euros of damage!

the track was twisty... and i was doing a 80kmph average... with top speeds reaching upto 140kmph at times... it was wonderful... every curve i hit, the tyres resisted with a screeching moan... and the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) worked harder... its always fun to push harder! you know it! you've wanted it!! I entered into tunnels and drove around cliffs... it reminded me of Corsica...

and then... on sunday, I entered into France... just across the border... it was like coming from malleshwaram to mariappan palya... just a bridge seperating the two countries... at this point, the navig system went blank! coz i only had a german CD!

but today was not first time! so, I knew my way around... and I headed on... on the banks of Rhine... on some highway... it was faast! 120kmph on small roads... and then slow down to 30kmph when u enter cities! and this was like Avurene! tight corners inside cities, in front of houses! NFS 5... aaaah! so sexy!

and driving through fields like pyrenes and normandie! wow! the entire NFS 5 coming into reality...

except for monte carlo and zone industriale... aah... greedy me!

and... then... time to get back to stuttgart! towards the Autobahn A5... the ultimate driving experience... its one of a kind! no where in the world can you get such class... such speed... such precision...

I hit the no max-speed-limit zone... and i had a wicked smile on my face and the throttle under my foot...

go baby go! it was vrooooom... 130s dissapeared to 140s... and 150s and... 160s! not like the first time, where i was unsure... here i was reckless... fuk protection... fuk everything...

lets just do it...

the adrenaline was there... more more! this aint nothing... back to 5th gear and the engine gave a warning roar... but the throttle put that down... more more... 160... 170... 180... comeon... lets just get to the climax...

i pressed harder... moving to top gear... and then... i had to brake to slow down as the guy in front was slow... :P
he moved out of my way... and then... it was game on... back to business... 140s... 150s... 160s...170s... 180s... it was in a jiffy... just a press of the throttle... there was that connection now... more space... 190s... and then... the climax... 200kmph... everything was flying by... cars, sign posts, boards, more cars, opposite traffic was just no match...
their 140kmph plus my 200kmph = 340kmph relative speed... just a whoosh... and... this wasnt the climax... there was more in reserve... a yellow ferrari... i knew it was a ferrari as i saw it approaching... opposite direction... fastest lane (obvious)... and it was gone... i just saw it... thats all... not even for a fraction of a second... the sound waves never reached my ear... we were past that place at 200kmph and he... prolly at 250 or more! poor old sound waves...

this was the ultimate! and it was only on an AUDI A4!

i just cant wait to get into a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or a Porsche... only time will tell!
we drove an incredible 750kms from saturday to sunday...

Ha! Finally I got some time to write some stuff... Everyone asks me the same thing.
Hows Germany, How are the babes? So... this is dedicated to all of you in whose fortunes the Germany visit is still not happened. I wish it happens soon.

Germany is a nice place! Everything happens perfectly! Nothing surprising that the Germans are known for their precision!

My travel started off in a Lufthansa Airline Boeing 747. And my new found independence had to be used! One bad thing about the Lufthansa people are that the air hostesses are not that good. But from the place i was sitting, them hostesses, while serving food, bent over to ask the passengers what they wanted... and... I... was intimidated by their classy asses, neatly tucked in their tight trousers! That was a sight to watch! But otherwise, them hostesses need to be changed! To ass to the intoxication... I mean, to add to it, I had Rot Wein... Being a non drinker, I have no idea what it tasted like. It brought a weird twist on my face everytime I tool a sip. Thats all I know!! But that was all... Next morning, I had Orangen Saft. Big deal :P

I alighted in the Flughafen and proceeded towards the ICE station. My god! The crowd that comes for US! Jeez! Its like they are giving out free shi*! Why do so many people go to the US!? Anyway! I waited at the bahnhof for the ICE which took me to Stuttgart. And then an old Mercedes took me to my Hotel.

From now on, I'm gonna only talk about... You know what!!

The receptionist was cute! Its great that the hotel has a lot of schöne frauen who are receptionists! Not one of them is bad! Not even close to it! I hope I can take pictures with them! I will upload them pics as soon as I have enough guts to take em! :P

Also, at the breakfast room, there one hot female, who changes everyday, who serves coffee and does the chores! I have no idea from where these many hotties came into one place!!

All females in Stuttgart can be categorized into the following:

1) Oldies - They were the once upon a time babes, now they are sober and mind their own business.
2) Bad - They eat a hell lot and are obese. Gross.
3) Married - They are HOT! They may have a few kinder and are almost always accompanied by their männer.
4) Babes - They are junge, classy and posh. They are kinda hot and kinky!

One thing common to all these people(except 1) is that they all have a great dressing sense.
They are fashionable! And spend a great lot of both geld and zeit for their appearance. No wonder to be a barber, one has to undergo a 3 year course here!!

All said, I so much want to take pictures and show them to you as proof. But at the last moment, I lose courage! I don't want to get beaten by Germans! So I'm exercising some caution. The moment I'm able to capture some, I'll upload them first!

Anyway, here are some of my attempts at photography. I don't want any comments on this cause I know they suck. But this is the best you can get. So just see.

Germany Rules!

English is a language spoken by many... and the usage of words have changed such that it means different things to different people. When I say rules, you may be thinking it to be great(which it is) and so. But, think again... Check the dictionary... this is what m-w.com has to say about Rules...

"a prescribed guide for conduct or action b: the laws or regulations prescribed by the founder of a religious order for observance by its members c: an accepted procedure, custom, or habit d (1): a usually written order or direction made by a court regulating court practice or the action of parties (2): a legal precept or doctrine e: a regulation or bylaw governing procedure or controlling conduct"

and... when I say germany rules, I meant the bold part!
Yes! there are so many rules! and people abide by them! very religiously!! Coming from bangalore, this sucks for me!!

Everything is planned, and has to happen in a specified way! theres no alternative!

It seems strange in the begining, but one will get used to this and probably start liking it! I hope I wont fall in that category! though you never know!

And for one instance dont ever think Germany is the all that awesome! The German trains are known to be on TIME, every time, EVERY SINGLE DAY, ALWAYS... and the day I landed, the train i was supposed to take, was late by 5 minutes! :) and you must've seen the announcements that used to come inside the ICE - inter city express. Announcements that the connecting trains would be delayed to enable passengers on this train to board it... Thats what happens when you follow too many rules! you lose flexibility! :)
However the train reached its final destination on time... to the dot. it was supposed to reach Stuttgart at 10:33, and it did! at alarming precision!!

One more really really awesome thing in Stuttgart is that all clocks in public (atleast all that I've seen till now) are analog! & the times specified for the transport system aint in multiples of 5! Amazing how people make out 12:12 and 7:22 from these analog clocks!

Even alarming is the fact that people from India, start calculating time in precise terms!

My friend, who was supposed to leave for Paris the night I arrived, happened to give me a visit and forgot his mobile in my hotel room. Back in his apartment, a couple stations away, he was all getting worried. His problem was that the bus to Paris leaves at 21:30 and that he can get ready by 20:00. But we had to get to my room and take his mobile and then he had to continue to the bus station... we left on schedule... 20:00 hours... and on the way to the nearest train station we happened to meet a few guys and had to talk and in the mean time missed the train. The next train was 15 minutes away... and ... this guy became nervous... he went, "ok... now I've missed this train, the next train will come here in 15 minutes... as in 20:19. It will take 7 minutes to your stop. From there the next train will be coming in 8 minutes interval. That means I need to get your room and get back with my mobile to the station in 7 minutes 30 seconds. which means we have to run from the station to the hotel as we cant reach in time if we walk!"
WHAT?! when did you start acting so German!!


And... heres the best... when he went to a frisuer (hair cutting) and sat for a cut, he was asked the most deadliest question... I have to put that in Italics... "How many millimeters short you want your hair to be cut to?" If i'm asked such a question, I'm a gonna freak out! how many mm? cant u freaking just gimme a short haircut?!
