    My Trip To Germany

    So, I came back a couple of days a go from my 7-day drip to Germany which included the following cities (in that order) :
    Augsburg-Stuttgart-Frankfurt-Koln-Nurburgring-Munich

    And let me tell you, It was wonderful !
    In Stuttgart we visited the Porsche Museum & Design, the Mercedes Museum and the Stuttgart Lamborghini & Bentley dealership.
    next we visited the amazing racetrack Nurburgring, which is a world of its own....
    In Munich we visited the BMW Museum and had a tour of the BMW Plant and its amazing production assembly line.

    I came back with over 4GB of pictures using my rather new Sony Alpha A100 and im still sorting them out, I'll resize them and start posting them here as soon as possible.
    I am easily satisfied with the very best.

    Starting with the Porsche Museum which was kinda dissappointing, its just a long room with cars stuffed in, with almost no space between them and rather bad lighting...

    Hope you walked to the big Porsche dealership around the corner from the old museum? Then you saw the new building for the new Porsche Museum which will be opened early 2008.

    I was there yesterday and saw all in all 3 CGTs (one in the old museum (black prototype), silver one in the dealership and yellow one outside the dealership)

    Here you can see the first Porsche 356 B Carrera GTL Abarth, an amazing car that won the 1961-1963 World GT Championship

    It seems the cars in the Porsche museum have been changed from when I went there. There weren't the 2.8 RSR Carrera and Carrera Turbo and the car cut in half was a 996 Carrera 4.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!
