Going to Germany next week to look at some horses with my wife which worked out great to see the factory. I do have a 15 gt3 build that is on the line as we speak so close to it but will have to wait until dec for arrival. Never posted on the site but have enjoyed reading all the threads which has helped me on this build. If anybody has some suggestions on the tour or nearby places please speak up. Thanks

You must visit both mercedes and Porsche museums they are both fantastic, imo Mercedes is the best one.

It's all my wife she did 3 day eventing now just dressage. Her whole life has been dedicated to horses she purchases some from the Stuttgart auction brings them back over. I have no knowledge of them just learn as I go. She actually trained for two years in Germany with hopes of the Olympics.

You should hire my sister to come along with your wife. She is Director of the Center for Equine Health at UC Davis.

Horses make stabling, feeding and caring for the GT3 look downright economical.

And all the cocaine smuggling is fun like nothing else!

Or, uh... so I'm told.

I did a factory tour in Liepzig 2 years ago.. That's what sold me on the 997 MK2 GT3 back then.. We got to take it and the new 991 S (at the time) out on their FIA test track at the Diamond.... They beat the living crap out of your car before it arrives.. Doesn't make much sense to me about the break in period.. I saw customers taking their brand new car out with the instructor drifting them around turns etc.. Needless to say 1 month after I got home I bought a 10' GT3.. Sold ever since..

That kinda sucks that your car will be completed and sitting there, yet you can't pick it up! Would drive me crazy. Agree that Mercedes Museum is a must, it's really quite amazing.

The factory tour is amazing. You may need to talk to your dealer about getting tickets. If you are pressed for time I would do the factory tour over the museum.
Seeing how Porsche assembles the cars at Zuffenhausen was very enlightening.

I did a ED pick up this fall, the factory tour was a high point of the trip.

There is a Car & Tech Musuem in Sinsheim, about a 1 hour drive away from Stuttgart (towards Mannheim). I was there many, many years ago but it certainly has changed. Here is the link: http://sinsheim.technik-museum.de/en...hlights-museum
