Great pictures.
Have been there many times.
It is always still the same with humans - they always desire those things and places what they not have currently.
I wanna drive in the US a road trip but I live very close to the dolomites. Or many times I wanna drive 150 MP/h on the German Autobahn. US citizens wanna drive in my country or in other countries in europe.
Unfortunately never seen any US plates (except four or five in ten years) in my country. I would be happy to see some nice modded US-BMWs on our streets.
