Anything on in or near Hamburg Germany Saturday 24th November?

[Fred W Ballinger]

Hi to our German friends.

It's looking like I will be in Hamburg Germany on business the latter part of week 47. Would their be anything interesting car related on in the area on Saturday 24th November that would be worth delaying my return in order to see?

Cheers

I have some good memories of Hamburg.
Best not discussed though. The Academy bar
was rather nice - even recently.

Hi Fred,

the museum "Prototyp" is really excellent and well worth seeing:

Well very belated response to this thread, but thanks Marcus, I did get to the prototype museum you mention and found it very interesting. Not a huge exhibit, but a nice selection of items. Also a shop with books and posters to purchase so it was well worth the visit.

I also went to the "Miniature Wonderland" nearby, this is the largest model railway / towns / working airport etc etc diorama in the world which I found absolutely fascinating.

Some random pictures of some of the prototype museum exhibits

This comes under the heading "Saw this and thought of you":laugh:

According to the tag, this is a pre-production protoype of the first 911 transaxle.

and finally the reason for the delay, I eventually got some of my purchases framed.

Relish works well. I tend to prefer it if they leave out the green bits though.

Hi Fred,

glad you enjoyed your time in Hamburg.

How long did you have to queue up for the "Miniature Wonderland"?

Best,

Marcus

How long did you have to queue up for the "Miniature Wonderland"?

I visited there mid afternoon on a weekday and I could just walk right in and through with no problem. I guess from your question that over weekends its a bit more of a hassle to get in.
