I can’t read it, either.

Last week–through no fault of my own–I spent a morning at Motorworld M\u00fcnchen<\/a>, making bad blurry photos with my Real Camera\u2122 and oohing over cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a pretty cool concept: A giant historic steel hall previously used as a repair shop for locomotives<\/a> by the Deutsche Bahn was remodeled with other outbuildings into a complex of high-end car\/bike\/accessory dealers (new and used) and auto services, restaurants, gift and memorabilia shops, and conference facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n

New and used cars for sale.

The highlight of the facility is the glass garages for rent, which can be accessed by the car owners 24 hours a day with a new electronic entry system<\/a>. Show off your baby to other gearheads without even being there!<\/p>\n\n\n

There was a lot to look at, also some nice architecture for abstractions.<\/p>\n\n\n

There was no documentation on this one, but it is obviously a barn find from Darnley Park in Midsomer<\/a>.<\/em>

Did I mention they used to repair locomotives here? They kept the four giant cranes.<\/p>\n\n\n

I enjoyed the morning, and would go back again sometime.<\/p>\n\n\n
