A short tour of Germany
New, at Tech-Session events:
David Jalali does Germany... a few days ago David offered to send a couple pics of his latest jaunts about the countryside. Well, just under 200 pics later! In addition to a journal of the factory tour, here's what you get:
- Porsche Factory (Werks I & II) - what does Bill Gates have to do with this?
- Porsche Museum - remember No.1, the car that started it all?
- Gmünd Museum - Porsche 968 meets Plasma cutter, hmmm?
- Hockenheim - a day at the races. Have a GT3, or two, or three...
- Nürnberg - the streets of, and a look inside the Kadach shop.
- 968 TS - yes, a real one... rare, red, and rrreally nice!

Danke sehr, David! (and Porsche, and Rennlist)

WOW, awesome pics. You guys should pay close attention to the Porsche factory ones, there's just 959s, and 911 turbos just sort of hanging around in the parking lot. And that 968 Turbo S.....beautiful.

Just short:
Georg Kadach is not in Nürnberg his shop is in Winnenden. Winnenden is some thing like in the first quarter between Zuffenhausen and Nürnberg. Winnenden also has other well known car companys; Lorinser and Irmscher.

This picture is now history. The gate is closed and moved to the left so also Dürr visitors have to pass the Porsche maingate.
But it is better to get out now as you have more space ahead off the trafic light.
I know this engine inside and out, if you look close you will see the left side exhaust got a small crashtest.
Normaly you stand oppesite at the coffemachine and play with the little remote controled boxster untill your parts are picked up. On the desk behind that engine sits best boy Marc Noack and right hand to it Mr. Siegele.
Thats the spare part division, the tequipment divison is on the other side from the building.
The nosepiece is from a BT5 and thats the office off Mr. Kammerer
Germans do drive old cars:
Thats a pre 1972 Mercedes /8 Coupe standing at Fortuna ( Thats the S-tram station named after the tooling company founded there ) now that building is used by the police.
The lower bulding is Mahle main quarter and R&D. This was years ago Jeweco ( Witzemann AG ) and Eckhardt ( Valvetechnology ).
The problem with old cars is you have to pass TÜV and a bad technical condition will sort it out from the street.
Some Porsche werkers come with "old" cars but they park them in one of the parkhouses from the factory.
959 are a normal sight in the Werksreperatur. Two weeks ago I had seen one with a slight frontcrash. It´s good to see some use the cars. You also could see a 2,7 RS and a 3.0 SCRS parking there the last months. They just dont look impresive enough.
Down the road from the Museum is the ASB rescue service. Thy also had Porsches as rescue cars. Those cars are full equiped for emergencys and doctors on duty drive them. The german rescue system works only with MD who have to be the fastes and make decisions when the rest arrives. Well an emergency is a good reason to drive faster then allowed
Audi sponsored some A6 4,2 Avant.
Mercedes are normal cars in germany and even the police is partially equiped with them.
This is the Wimmentaler crossing when you blast down from Untergruppenbach to Weinsberg. As it is a 3 lane and going downhill you can use it the spinn up to 300 km/h and test your brakes at the 120 km/h speedtrap at the Weinsberger Kreuz. But if you head Nürnburg or Würzburg you have enough time to see the radar. Also mostly they trap to the Neckersulm direction.
I think the highest speed was close to 280km/h from a 928 driver. From the bridge to the trap you have some 3 miles.
The weinsber crossing was used from the old Porsche test driver to drive in the cars. they blastet up A81 turned ther and blast down. This bridge came in the 50´s and Porsce used it to make highspeedpictures from test- and race cars. They where blasting down the highway while a highspeedcamera follwed the car from different angles. Porsche had no own windcanel then and the windtunnel from the FSKS made only short abouve 100 km/h. Porsche used also other bridges like the downsweeper from Ludwigsburg to Pleidelsheim or the Zuffenhausen highway crossing.
History.
