*** EFA Museum of historic German cars, Amerang ****

[Colin]

The weather for my recent weekend in Munich was not of the best, so when the forecast for Sunday said heavy rain all day (and it was accurate!), an indoor activity seemed like a good idea. I discovered that there was a car museum in the vicinity, in Amerang. And when I got there and found that it houses over 220 vehicles from an 1886 Benz all the way through some splendid 1930s Mercedes, Horch and Maybach to a Porsche 959, Audi Quattro Sport and the like, I just had to go and visit.

I've been here quite a few times. It's near my place. 

Thanks for the pictures and write up! A shame nobody here appreciates these cars. Must be Consumer Reports telling them that "German cars = crap" and the fact that none of them, except the Porsche 959, do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. 


By the way, this isn't a real BMW.



It's an EMW which stood for Eisenacher Motorenwerk. Think of it as a wannabe East German BMW that was created with left-behind tooling from the former BMW factory.

Thanks for these, Colin, very evocative.
