My visit to Munich & The Nurburgring

Couple of weeks back i was given the opportunity to visit Munich and watch the 24hr Nurburgring in Germany.

Here's some writeups i did for the BMW Welt / Museum

And a video i made for my Nurburgring trip. The trip was paid for by BMW so yes, lots of BMW content!

Oh yes before i forget. We stopped by for lunch at Restaurant 'Christophorus' @ Porsche Museum but because it was a BMW paid trip, we only had a few minutes to snoop around, grabbing what we can from the shop on the way out.

There be some diecasts... i bought the 1:43 BOSS 924. Was hoping to find 944s but non in sight.

The 1:18s were made by Welly and are not really great on detail, so i didn't pick them up even though the boxes were cool.

1:43s were all pretty good quality, and the prices reflected that. Still, i HAD to at least buy 1...

I didn't have much time to ponder, so i grabbed the 924. No regrets, i think it looks great.

There were lots of period posters too. At 9.90 euros a piece, i think they were pretty reasonably priced! At least better than what i encounter on Ebay.

Didn't have time to browse through all the quality literature.

A heavy sculpture on every table at the restaurant. Probably heavy to prevent people from stealing them!

The only 944 i saw. This was at the lobby.

Stuck my head out of the car to take these on the way out.
