	So today I spent a few hours wondering around the new Porsche museum, some nice cars but the place is very white and clinical feeling, lacked some the some passion if you know what I mean, bit like a posh showroom rather than a Petolheads playground. Put it this way, even the German I was wandering around with said it felt too hygienic! But still some awesome cars ;D So not no real order here are some piccy's for you all, hope you like Today's transport, a very nice and very purple 968 owned by a work mate at Merc. The museum itself, nice building and I really like the mirror glass on the underside My favourite car of the day - 924GTS, but was actually a 944 turbo development car that as part of its development program went to Le Mans and won its class! I just love wide BBS's with gold centres on white cars ;D No the photo isn't upside down the car is! Ground effect don't ya know How do you get over 1000bhp from 1500cc? With some of these... Lacquered bare metal? Germans have been doing it for years Modular recuse vehicle more turbos! Ooooo dear I need to sit down for a bit... Can you tell I like this one Scallops look good on everything 41st place to 1st at Le Mans, Jackie Ickx was a god Hmmm whats different about this 914 then? What its got a race V8 making 300bhp, are you mad?! And thats about it, sorry if they take forever to load!

	Are there any show shops near the museum? I need to think of an excuse to get her indoors over there for a holiday so I can visit and play with the lovely porkers...
	Porsche 924 - gone Citroen Saxo VTR - not very retro but I loved it - now gone... MK4 Golf GTi 1.8T - gone but hardly remembered... Mini Cooper S R53 - gone BMW 125d Coupe - gone (mostly sideways) Ford Focus RS Mk1 - hello low MPGs and "wanna race me" at every set of lights... 1973 BMW 2002 - Twin 40's, 284 Cam, Revolutions, E21 Recaros + more Porsche Cayman 987 3.4S - here and due to cost me more money than I have

	Stuttgart has tons and tons of shops, bars, cafes etc. even a couple of decent art galleries if she like culture too The Porsche (and Merc, which I enjoyed more) meseums both have they're own S-Bahn (very easy to use and efficient train network) so easy to get around. S-Bahn runs from airport to city and everywhere else so don't need a hire car Fly-be do cheap flights to Stuttgart from Birmingham, BA go from Hearthrow for not much more, and if you made a long week of it you could get to Munich or I dunno a music gig as there are quite a few held in Stuttgart. Or if you want to do a proper petrol head weekend the ring is only 3 hrs away so could get a hire car, do museums one day and the Ring the next ;D

	The 914-8 also has 4 headlamps instead of two, check out how wide the light pod is!! Also the front bumper with no spotlamps and the strange engine lid grille... I really DO spend to much time around these cars!!! Looks like an excellent place, may have to get the Boss excited tomorra, go on a fact finding mission....
