- At Christmas 2022 we released a three part Christmas Special series featuring my father, myself and our trusty old 911, conquering the Austrian, Swiss and Italian Alps in an epic 2500km roadtrip. In this feature length special, you can enjoy the entire trip (again) in one single go. Sit back, relax, grab something to drink, and get lost completely in the beautiful sights and sounds of an analog 911 and the mesmerizing Alps!
Retroschaft is a place for every petrolhead out there. A place of gathering and belonging, where everyone can enjoy life in and around anything automotive. The name Retroschaft is derived from the english word Retrospect and the German word Gemeinschaft, meaning: To look at the automotive culture & world in retrospect with an enthusiast community.
So share your passion and join the community! Let's experience life in and around anything automotive together.

Thank you beautifully!@@Retroschaft
A truly magnificent video. You have ignited my dreams to become a reality. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. Good luck! Glad to have helped 😄
I’m hoping you’re going to do more trips like this as this video is fabulous
Planning another one this year!
I REALLY enjoyed watching your series of videos during your road trip with your Dad!
I remember road trips with my Dad forty years ago and now I am the Dad, many years later.
Used to own various 911s and love your 964...just bought an RS4 V8 and am busy planning indulging my son, in a road trip through the Alps. (To be honest, I'd prefer to do it in a 911!)
So, indulging my greatest two passions...quality time with my son before he leaves home and road tripping through the Alps in a fun car.
Thank you, fantastic content and really got me fired up!
That's great to hear! I am a father now too and I can't wait to take my son on these kinds of trips as well. Glad my journey with my dad has got you fired up 🏁 enjoy your trip and be safe!
Fantastic video of a son-father epic road trip in a classic Porsche through several mountain passes in the Alps. I could watch these videos again and again.
That's fantastic to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Love this. Myself and my son are doing something similar in May. We’ll be touring parts of France, Switzerland and Germany in our cars. He’ll be driving his recently restored Mazda MX5 and I’ll be in my 1977 Porsche 911 SC Targa, also recently restored. Can’t wait!
Wow, sounds like a dream trip as well! We are thinking to one day do something similar. My dad in his 356 and me in my MGB. Such a trip would include less kilometres because 60s cars aren't great at high mileage trips but it would be a sight to see! I wish you guys the best of luck!
Hi Simon, I just came across your comment again. Hopefully you guys are either doing that roadtrip or making the last few preparations! Good luck, stay safe, but most of all enjoy! Let me know how it went upon your return 😉
@@Retroschaft Hi, we got back on Monday. Unfortunately my son’s car broke down before we left so we both did the drive in the 911. To be honest although he was disappointed it worked out quite well as we had more time to chat and shared the driving. The car was perfect and performed beautifully with no issues. We did 1600 miles in 4 days in a car built in 1977. Not bad! Loved every minute and can’t wait to do it again. Hope you’ve got some more trips planned as well.
Wonderful document. I'm sure it's going to have a long life and appreciative viewers well into the future.
amazing trip ... i did his trip with the car of my father after he was dead ... i did with my wife ... and we thought too much about him and enjoyed, but to do it with him, it was too late ...
... with his last car, BMW 525d E39 ... i still keep it and drive it ...
@@oliverkramer4279 Hi Oliver, thanks for sharing such an emotional story. I hope this video series brought you some joy. Wherever you are, bless you, your father and that E39. Cherish it! Take care
@@Retroschaft Thank you very much, yes i take care for this car like for a brand new one and i love driving it
Really cool, thanks for sharing. It does seem like an amazing trip and sharing it with your dad is a special thing.
Absolutely wonderful!
Cool... That's the way to do it and collect good memories together. Well done ! Can you provide us the route you've done? Thanks in advance.

So nice that you release this as a single movie. Cool story, cool car! Sure inspired me to plan a similar trip with my 964, still trying to convince my dad.
Why does he even need convincing 🙈 Thanks for watching!
@@Retroschaft health condition...
@Jakko van Ingen Thanks for putting me on the spot there 😅 When we came back from this trip, in all honesty, it made me realize that these things won't last forever. It was a huge motivation behind making this video to the best of my abilities. More than a cool series for the channel, it's a way to remember the fantastic times my father and I had. So I truly hope you can make a trip and make those memories. The best of luck and hope your father gets better soon!
Beautiful filmed! I’m jealous of travelling with your dad, I would not be able to do that.. 😂
The Delta’s were all 4 door yes. (Except the S4 which really was NOT a Delta but a 037 Evo 4WD Turbo you could say.. (With a Delta silouette body)). That rear car had the original Integrale wheels.
I really enjoyed that, thank you. I’m loosely planning a similar trip for 2024 from the U.K. in my Giulia Quadrifoglio and picking up my family at Milan airport and go touring through northern Italy with them.
How did you book your hotels? Were they pre booked or did you just arrive?
Did you plan everything on sat nav or were paper maps used?
I’ve subscribed and liked the video, I think I need to invest in a go-pro for when it’s my turn!
Hi Kurt, thank you for your comment! My father actually did all the organizing on this trip and he did indeed book the hotels beforehand and also planned our route quite extensively. He highlighted on printed maps which passes we would do and then we used sat nav to help us navitage to those passes and to our hotels. Hope this helps!
Hi, nice videos for sure. It's still a dream for me to do such road trip with my 87 3L2. Just a question about the wipers of your car. It's seem that you add a kind of "spoiler" hand made. Is it realy efficent ? How it has been done ? Possible to send me more pictures of that solution ?
Many thks P.S. I live in Belgium too.
Hi, thank you for the nice words! At some point the springs didn't hold the wipers down enough anymore to wipe the windscreen, especially at higher speeds. My dad made a concoction with plastic plates and zip ties and it actually worked 😅 it's nothing special though, a bit of trial and error should yield similar results!
