Your lucky to have a nice car like that but even luckier to have a father . I lost mine recently & it’s never been the same since . Keep on driving 🚙👍

[@Retroschaft]

@@Howsitgoingfellas My condolences first of all! The fact that you miss him must mean you had a very good bond with him. Just keep the memories alive!

[@std882]

Love watching videos of high end cars used to the max. Not worry about high mileage through proper maintenance. Great video!

[@StevenVanLoven]

I did the same trip in my similar 3.2 from 84. 250d+ km on the clock and the car never complained once. It brought us to Norway , south of France , Italy and the Swiss Austrian mountains and the UK . The best classic car for these kind of things , Good brakes to... And by the way I live in Belgium to ;-) . Your videos bring back memories .

[@Retroschaft]

Thanks Steven! Ours is also an '84 car 😉 it is absolutely perfect for these kind of things. Very comfortable but also extremely capable in the corners. Thanks for watching! Hopefully we will get to all those other trips as well 👍

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

Greetings from England. I really enjoyed your wonderful adventure. I lost my father before Christmas, he would have loved this. I hope you manage some more adventures in your wonderful car.

[@Retroschaft]

That is very nice to hear, thank you! We are hoping to make it to Wales this summer

[@fernandonagy9880]

KZbin for some reason brought me here... Incredible times when a random a guy (petrolhead I admit), from South America can relate and felt so emotional and happy for some other nice guy, for something happened 2 years ago or so... Thank you so much for put so much effort and share with us this masterpiece (full of dream, desire, simplicity, passionate, down on earth video). The final scene when you put the cover was so simple, yet so powerful. Best from São Paulo, Brazil.... Almost forget, your car its amazing!

[@Retroschaft]

Thank you so very much for your nice comment! Time flies, this was indeed the summer of 2022. I have to admit that I watch the series myself from time to time, just because it's such a nice way to relive the memories. I'm happy that I get to share them with likeminded people, whether it's because they also love cars, or just want to be part of the journey. I am very glad to hear you enjoyed the video/series. Have a nice day kind sir!

[@philippegiroulle6920]

Thanks to share this father/son adventure, and looking forward to the next episodes. True petrolheads

[@Retroschaft]

Thanks Philippe 🤘

[@rick6738]

Beautiful mate, the memories will stay with you forever, just like you said. I used to do the Ramble Rally through Europe with my dad for several years, the atmosphere and company with my dad is something I will never forget. My dad suddenly passed away last December. What I really like about your recap is that you are aware that the whole trip, the company, the views is something very special, especially together with your dad. Lovely video, really good put together

[@Retroschaft]

Hi Rick, I completely missed your comment but how nice to hear! I am sorry for your loss. When arriving back home after this trip, I must admit that I had a small breakdown knowing these kind of things won't keep happening forever so we're definetely trying to make the most of it while we can! Thanks again for your kind words and all the best to you!

Fantastic - planning to do it early 2024 in my "classic" a BMW 630i (e63)..... hello from UK 👍

[@Retroschaft]

Ah that must be fantastic! I bought an E36 320i early this year (still have to make a video about it) and I'd love to take that car to the Alps too. Have fun!

@@Retroschaft Thanks, nothing like a great road trip 👍 ps my car is a 2007 630i, not the original 70s one..... more a modern classic but a great motor for continental long journeys

[@delamontagne64]

Thank you very much for this 45 minutes of epicness. It was a perfect end of my weekend. I am a Porsche and alp road trips lover pur sang since I am a child. I saw many many vids on YT but this one is definitely in my personal top 5! Good editing, beautiful recording, very sympatic comment and last but not least an insane beautiful 911 G. Are there some modifications you did on it? It seems a bit lower than stock and also the exhaust sounds not 100% original. Is it original a French import? Than it is probably the 231 PS version without Cat that van explain the sound instead the 207 or 217 version with cat . Thxs again! Salut from the frontier NL/ B, Jeroen

[@Retroschaft]

Hi Jeroen, it is an original Belgian car, bought by my father some 20 years ago from the first owner I think. The wheels are bigger than stock, which is why it may seem a bit more agressive. The exhaust is indeed a rear cat by Dansk, it's more agressive as well ;) Other than that there are no modifications other than the Carrera decals on the side. The stock 915 gearbox was rebuilt a while back and it's a pleasure to shift with! Anyone who says a G50 is much better just hasn't experienced the joy of working through a proper 915 in my opinion ;) Thank you for watching and for the nice words! I'm trying to get another roadtrip series online but it's a lot of work.

[@delamontagne64]

@@Retroschaft Thxs for your quick answer! Yes I enjoy it a lot. Anyone who says a G50 is better than a 915 talks like a parrot and has probably never driven a Porsche 911.

[@jameseli5782]

Amazing roads and scenery in a gorgeous G-body! Is the color of your 911 "Oak Green"? It is beautiful!

[@Retroschaft]

Could very well be! I'll have to check with my dad. It's a pretty rare spec with the interior also being green but it looks gorgeous.

[@Retroschaft]

It is Oak Green indeed 😄

[@denis6446]

Best video ever ❤ do You have a roadbook to share ? Thanks Again

[@Retroschaft]

Hi, thank you so much! Great to see you enjoyed it. You can find a list of moutain passes that we did in chronological order as the pinned comment (by me) under each episode. It will give you a pretty good idea of the route we took.

[@spencermatthews898]

Hi, wonderful road trip and what a great way of making lasting memories with your father. Have you thought about organising a smiliar road trip for classic car / classic Porsche owners?

[@Retroschaft]

Hi Spencer, we have thought about that many times. We actually do organize roadtrips that are a bit smaller but up and till now they have been invite only events with more local friends. Currently we're organizing weekend trips but at some point we would love to get into big roadtrips like this, fully organized by us!

[@jamwok3121]

Great video, great car! What size wheels are you running, 15x7&8s?

[@Retroschaft]

Hi, my apologies I didn't catch your comment. I'd have to ask my father but I know the fronts are the size usually fitted at the rear and the rears are bigger than standard. I don't know the actual sizes, but I'll ask.

[@jamwok3121]

@@Retroschaft ok thanks, they look great anyway 👍 I’ve just bought some 16x8” to put on the back of my SC, then plan to put my 7” on the front.

[@Retroschaft]

We have 16x7 at the front and 16x8 at the rear, so your SC will look fantastic 😉

Mooie video's! Welke tijd van het jaar deed je de trip?

Bedankt! Dit was eind juli. Was een goeie periode volgens ons schema, maar misschien dat mei/juni nog net iets beter is qua algemene temperatuur en drukte ;)

[@streetfighter3k]

@@Retroschaft wij doen de Franse Alpen elk jaar in juni. Ideale periode, niet teveel toerisme. Ik doe het in een Boxster 987.2 2.9 basemodel van 2011. Topauto vooral voor het bochtenwerk.

Great series! Do you have your full route documented? Would be very interested in doing something similar.

[@Retroschaft]

We have it documented yes, I can make a list and put in the description. Give me a few days to get to that!

[@Hendrick74]

IS it a Belgian car? Est-ce une voiture immatriculée en Belgique ?

[@Retroschaft]

Hi! Yes I believe this car was originally delivered in Belgium and we might even be the second owners. The car was well known within our friend group and known to be a powerful and reliable 3.2. More than 100.000km later without a rebuild and 265.000km in total, it does appear to be powerful and reliable ;)

[@michaelhoeldke3859]

Very well done. But: Time lapse passages are not nice.

[@Retroschaft]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! Timelapses allow us to show greater parts of the passes without losing the pace in the video, otherwise it gets boring rather quickly for the majority of viewers. I can understand you might want to enjoy the passes in full, but in this case we had our reasons to not do that and I hope you can appreciate that decision and still enjoy the series nonetheless ☺

you do know how to pick you thumbnails

It's not as if they're fake 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for the compliment 😉
