After a couple days seeing how the elite have a good time we were off on a long drive to süd tirol and Austria. The Dolomites are really interesting mountains, and full of wonderful little back roads to explore. We eventually found our Pension in Heiligenblut, an idyllic alpine village under the shadow of the Großglochner. We hiked and drank too much bier for a couple days, then headed over the pass and back to Munich. Unfortunately the weather was difficult; the fog/clouds so thick we had to take the downhill slope rather slow.
One huge accomplishment, however, was determining the source of the color choices for the F8x. Initially we thought that Yas Marina Blue was mimed from the Italian Polizei. It was a kick to see how terrified the Alfistas were when our carabinieri-blu monster screamed up behind them... But no, the true source of the M colors was to be found among the Gartenzwerg. Perhaps the original inspiration for Les Schtroumpfs (smurfs), garden gnomes come in three colors: Austin Yellow, Sakhir Orange, and of course, Yas Marina Blue.
