Chris-p Posted 15November, 2010 Report Share Posted 15November, 2010 Hi everyone, In Stuttgart at the moment, spent the day yesterday after flying overnight from New York at the Porsche museum. What a great day I had, jet lag and all. Lots of photos to follow and highly recommend the visit. Some spectacular cars on display. Then got to watch the GP at a sensible time just didn't get the result I hoped for.... Speak to you all when I get back. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidd Posted 15November, 2010 Report Share Posted 15November, 2010 Hi Chris, Hope you are having a good time.I must get to the museum soon... it's on my 'bucket list'! Pity about Webber, but he just did not have the pace the whole weekend. It was sad to see Alonso and Mark held up by Petrov in the Renault....those French engines are just so powerful and in a straight line the two guys behind clearly could not get close enough to 'have a go'. See you when you return, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPOZZZ Posted 7July, 2011 Report Share Posted 7July, 2011 Make that TWO!!! Hi Folks, Just back from my 'bucket list' visit to the Porsche Museum. I am in Amsterdam and did a crazy 600km drive on the autobahns to get to Stuttgart then returned to Amsterdam the same day. It was a blast! Only problem was I was driving a Volvo! Thankfully they let me into t.he Museum car park in it. The Museum exceeded my expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wore my Porsche Club Hong Kong t-shirt and they acknowledged club membership by giving me free parking, half price entry and 15% discount on anything being sold. The guy jokingly offered me the same discount on a new Porsche.. Maybe he was serious but my missus wouldn't have seen the bright side of turning up with a new 911. Several of the cars recently in Australia were in the workshop, still wearing their 60 years of Porsche in Australia stickers. It was a memorable day topped off by a visit to the Auto & Technik Museum in Sinsheim. This unbelievable collection of planes, cars, trains and military machinery is not far from Stuttgart and is well worth a visit. The sight of the Concorde alongside the TU 144 is enough reason for aviation buffs like me, bur the sports and racing car collection is one of the most comprehensive. Google the site for more details. Cheers, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
