Porsche Museum

My brother and I had a wander around the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart today. They had a few of their cars that had one races and cups in the past as well as a good representation of their vehicles since they started. They've got one of their first prototypes there as well as a fire engine from the 1920's that they built through to their police car, rally car and new Carrera.

What may have impressed me more though was the sheer size of the Porsche site. Huge buildings, factory and a massive showroom that had more Porsches in one place than I've probably seen in my life.

Next time I visit I'll have a look at the Daimler Museum which is on the other side of Stuttgart.

I have only two words: EN and VIOUS!!


Oh, and when I was 14 and living in Heide, I had a big crush on a boy named Uwe, but I doubt it was your brother. (Unless his last name is Kruse, then it was him.)

When I was in high school the boy next door purchased a Porsche 911 2.7. All of a sudden he became a lot more attractive to me. Teehee.

Uwe denies using "Kruse" as a surname to pick up women. Also he's 19 now so that would have made him what? 5?

Mental Note: Start saving for a Porsche now so that I may be able to afford one in time for my mid life crisis... hmmm... two weeks may not be enough...

Mental Note: Start preparing for Mark to become even more attractive in the next few weeks.

Er...yes. There is that age thing. I've certainly dated younger guys, but not *that* young!

See, this saving up to buy a Porsche business is misguided. What you *really* need is to find a rich woman who already has the car and wants some "arm candy" to put in it!
