Hi Guys,

I'm just back from Munich! I loved Oktoberfest - some amazing sights, sounds, tastes and smells. 6 or 7 Mas and a Scotsman can have a really good time there. Also loved the Haxnbauer Restaurant and Augustiner beer as recommended by deQuincey - very many thanks! Had the half pork knuckle, and it was fantastic. Lots of great atmosphere.......

We also went to the Viktuelen market ( thanks Sven ), lovely sights and smells. Had a snack and a beer sitting in the shade of the chestnut trees.

But the massive highlight for me was the visit and guided tour of the BMW Classic Archive - 4 floors of history. A great big thanks to the guys from the BMW Club of New Zealand who allowed us to join them on their tour! :) Stunning and mind-blowing. I was like a kid in a sweet shop! Took hundreds of photographs. Will post some from time to time ( obviously not all e9 content! )

Somethings I saw and fell in love with:-

2 e9's in BMW Classic workshop.

6zg2kqf

Calder Art Car CSL

5wblpav

Andy Warhol M1 Art Car

They had everything in there - motorcyles from the very beginning, 327, 328's, 700's, including a couple of "specials," 507's, 'O2's, Coupes, M1's, the James Bond Collection, some amazing one-offs and prototypes - a V16 powered saloon, a load of racing cars, F1, F2, M3GTR, etc etc. So amazingly worth a visit. Thanks also to our tour Guide and all the staff at BMW Classic Centre.

What can i Say - Life's not all about cars!
 
Good stuff.

Three piercings per ear and chrome wheel arches are a turnoff for me.

You can always remove them if you are the owner. So it all comes down to ownership I guess.
 
Dave!

I would like to see your first pic in a large poster. Is it perhaps 100% vintage look-alike?

Last pic confirm that material thing is not all in life :) I passed the test!

Love to see your other pics.


Cheers!

deQuincey- it was you who first mentioned the BMW Group Classic at Am Hart. I had never heard of the place before! So thank you very much for pointing me in that direction.

Very easy to get to from Central station - 10 minutes on the underground and 5 minute walk from the station.

Stefan - the picture you like - the workshop one? If you send me an email address I can send you the hi-res photograph. I have resized them and reduced the quality.

More pictures to follow soon!
