Car heaven
I visted the famous-in-petrolhead-circles Auto-Salon Singen today. Wow.
I’ll have pictures up when I get back home next week. If you have a fetish for cars, this is the place to go. I didn’t see any Bugatti Veyrons or Ferrari Enzos, but I did see a whole bunch of other Ferraris, 2 Ford GT’s (one in the iconic Gulf Oil livery), 2 Lambo Diablos, 2 Gallardos, a variety of Aston Martins, a crowd of Porsches of various ages (including a 911 GT3 RS), a whole bunch of 1960’s Jaguar E-Types, a couple of racing Bentleys, Maybachs, Rollses, a Dodge Viper, Mercedes CLK-GTR & SLR, etc. You name it and they probably have it — as long as its not cheap.
They had no problem with letting the likes of me (ahem) into their showroom with a camera, so if you’re ever in the area (Southwest Germany - just over the Swiss border. The crossing I used was Thayngen, just outside Schaffhausen), its definately worth a visit.
By the way, it snowed here last night. A lot. So much so that I had serious difficulty getting my poxy little Fiat Idea 1.3JTD rental car up the ramp out of the hotel car park in Zurich. Making my way to the German border pretty much on ice skates was challenging, to say the least.
I also stopped at Rheinfall, on the Swiss side of the border. Impressive. I’ll put a few photos of that up next week too. I’m free on Sunday, so I plan to use that time to go to the Mercedes Benz museum in Stuttgart for some more car porn.

Its really fun to visit such places. For you had a chance to take a closer look at those cars and personally assess its look and designs. My friend and I is also planning to visit the Mercedes museum next week. Both of us is exited. We can see and know more facts about Mercedes. How they have improve through the years and now known as one of the largest automakers (as well as parts like Mercedes brake booster)in the world.
