    I would love to go to the factory. My step sister did a VW factory tour 3 or 4 years ago when she was over there. They had GTI's running on the production line.

    Did you do a factory tour? Or just roam around looking through the museum etc?

    Thanks for sharing the pics. Love that Golf GTI with the Bentley engine in it......

    I'm off to Germany twice this year. Will be in Berlin in June. I am fizzing at the bum-hole at the prospect of spending the day at Autostadt in Wolfsburg - only an our on the train from Berlin. It will be awesome.

    Also will be in Bamberg in April for a lighting conference, and I'm trying to see if I can get a day trip out to Nurburg. There's a few companies that hire out semi-prepped cars that you can hire to do laps around the track. E.g. a stage 2 Scirrocco 2.0TSI or Subaru BRZ, 4 laps around Nordschleife (80km) for about $450 Euro, or a stage 1 Suzuki Swift Sport for $300 Euro.
