I was there in May - unbelievable!!! BMW is really neat as well - but the best of the museums was Audi - really really well done.

Is that 917 hanging from scales? kinda reminds me of that little ghost in Tim Burton's "The Nightmare before Christmas"

The ghost dog "Zero"

(maybe ButziP made it to the bar upstairs at Christophorus... I didn't want to leave the Cigar Lounge, either)
