Default Porsche museum
On our way back from Koln (Cologne) abouth two months ago, we stopped at the Porsche factory for a quick look. Made a few pics. Not the best ones, but you'll get a good general impression of the place....if you haven't been there...

It's very small but filled with great machines.... 8)

Ok, before I got in the building, I heard the loudest noise ever, not coming out of a racecar . . . I turn around and just miss the perfect photo opurtunity....but I still got a few...the car was loud as hell, and the driver was reving the engine at the lights....



The real beauty . . .

yeah its the concept version, as it says on the sign, it was shown to the public at the '83 Frankfurt auto show... you can also see the headlights aren't yet the more aerodynamic ones as on the final model, they're still upright but with a translucent aerodynamic cover. The paint job is amazing though

Great pics, komotar. The white group B 959 prototype is so gorgeous!

Are you now doing a lot of road trips around Europe for your job?

Nice!! It seems like you enjoy it, and that's the most important thing. Btw, have you been driving on the ring as well?
