Mini Roadtrip 2020 - Staying Local

Actually I would be interested in partaking... if my vacation wouldn't start on August 6th and not before...
 
That's be awesome. No way to change the vacation planning to start on the 3rd?

Sadly not... also, I just made an appointment for the next inspection, including TÜV, for the 4th.
 
Since I still have a bunch of vacation days left over and no plan how to use them, might as well join you guys.
I've asked a friend who's in the same boat if he wants to join, so maybe +1.
 
@shad_68 good good. We've already booked nearly all accommodations already though, so you'll need to see what's what. :)

If you could send me a list of where you booked I'll check if they still have room or if there are other places nearby.

I've added you to the Telegram group, where you will find the link to the sheeeeeeet. :)
 
So who was in the final group? I'm looking forward to photos. Did you all meet up already? If so Noon seems about right as a start time for a FinalGear roadtrip. :p

@narf @DanRoM @shad_68 @Adrian @leviathan and myself, I hope I got all the usernames right. Currently, it‘s neck and neck on the final miles to the starting point between @leviathan, @Adrian and @shad_68. But @Adrian is currently “stuck behind two tractors and a horse”, so he might be out of it.

Edit(h): @DanRoM was in it, too, but his location sharing was not. He, @shad_68 and I arrived at the starting point at the same time.

They need to cool down when spanked, remember who the driver is. :LOL:
 
Right. I'm no longer tired because the alcohol from the two beers earlier on is already out of my system. So... photos!

After the aforementioned photo finish at the PS.Speicher, we went inside to stand around and look at cars. There were:

replicas of very old cars

huge old cars

tiny old cars with funny steering

DSC_5020.jpeg

weird old cars with ridiculous names

old cars running on wood gas

and slightly less old... car-like things

Also, we did not mention the war,

but somebody had to!

They had lots of motorbikes as well.

This one had an air-cooled rotary engine inside the front wheel. That means it doesn't get cooled unless the wheel is turning.

So the manufacturer advised to drive in circles if you were held up by something, such as a railroad crossing. An ingenious solution to a problem that should never have existed in the first place. :james:

Despite appearances, this one wasn't powered by a jet engine.

But it did have a funny name.

which only got better once I looked at the placard

Finally, we decided it was time to leave the past and get back to the present. Luckily, they had a car for that, too.
