Mercedes Benz Museum
It is good to have people with you who know something about the country. Victor wanted to go to the Mercedes Benz Museum, I haven't heard about it before but I thought lets do it. We had to get up at 7am and drive from Zurich to Stuttgart
Quite the structure.
The inside, looks a bit like starwars.
The museum walks you through the history of Daimler-Benz which started in the late 19th century. Since Daimler-Benz is such a big part of the German economy the exhibition shows also a lot of German history.
Here are some of the first automobiles.
One of the first engines.
I think that was the first car.
Quite the truck!
The star.
A convertible car, looks pretty heavy. I think it drove up to 80 km/h.
Clutch, brake and gas pedal.
They built a special car to move the race car around.
What a beauty.
They should have some of those here in Vancouver then it wouldn't be such a gongshow when it snows 3 cm.
Fast cars.
F1 engine, I don't remember how much horsepower they got out of this beast but it was a lot.
Quite the spoiler, should put something like that on my mazda.
Even so I am not a car fan this was quite impressive.
I think they did some speed records with those things.

Well, that was Europe. It was stressful but fun to see everybody. It was good to have you around Victor. Also thanks to our parents and to all of our friends where we crashed on the sofa, couch or on the floor!
