Hey guys,
I just got back from spending a week in Hamburg.
Saw this nice SC while out for a walk.

While posting, I figured I'd add a couple of more pics.
View of the harbour from the steeple of St. Nicholas Church, and one of the "warehouse district" while I was on a boat tour.

Hamburg is a wonderful city with great people. I made some great new friends there who took me around and showed me some very cool stuff.

Actually, the top of St Nicholas has vertical bars, but there is enough space to hold your camera out past them.
In NA, there would be chain link, so people couldn't drop or throw stuff.

St Nicholas is really cool, there is no church, only the steeple. It was still left standing after the allied bombings destroyed about 70% of the cite core.
It is now a museum site with a great number of pictures and accounts of the destruction felt on both sides.
It's a very interesting and unbiased view of the history.

Germany history questions.
It is my understanding that the Tiger Tank was the 911 of Porsche design contribution and the Elephant the 928 counterpart. Henry Ford showed Porsche the mass production process and received an award from Hitler. Ford may have contributed to the success of Dr. Porsche and inadvertently to the German war production efforts.
Anyone know of the Tarta influence on the Porsche Boxer design?
