About 90 minutes out of Stuttgart we saw on the horizon the outline of a Concorde and thought "WTH, those stopped flying a few years ago." As we got closer we saw it was a static display and alongside of it was a Russian Tupolev (equivalent of the Concorde) and at that point we could make out a sign that said "Sinsheim Museum." Of course we exited the autobahn and pulled in for a looksee.

What we saw was unbelievable and we spent a frantic 90 minutes running from building to building (there were 6 of them) taking as many pictures and movies as we could. Unfortunately we got there at 4:30 and it closed at 6:00 but we easily could have spent 2 days there.

This by far was the best Museum I have ever seen in my life (my Dad agrees and he's been to many more Museum's then I have). Besides the planes, helicopters, tanks, trains, engines and motorcycles they also had cars ranging from Porsche's, Ferrari's, Jaguar's, Lamborghini's, MB's, Bugatti's and may others. I honestly shot more pictures here then I did at the Porsche and MB Museum's combined.

Much to my amazement the variety of cars were staggering so here's just a sampling of them.

After closing the Museum we hit the autobahn and drove right by the Hockenheim F1 track. I never knew that Hockeheim was so close to the 'Ring and it surprises me that 2 F1 races are held so close together.

Before I knew it we arrived back in Frankfurt and I was on my way home the next morning. All in all it was an incredible 4 days and I wish I was able to spend more time on everything we did.

Of all things my flight home was number 917 8)
