Day 6:

 

This was a non-car day.

 

Woke up in Kelč, played with this dog for a bit

Drove to Auschwitz where we met the others and went on a tour

And then went to Katowice where we were staying, to have some delicious food and cheer ourselves up. Fairly early night as tomorrow we'd start the long drive back home.

Day 7:

 

Next stop, Berlin. We left Katowice early so we could get as much time there as possible (and because it was a really long way)

As we had some time to kill in the evening, we had a look for something interesting and found the DDR museum. Not much vehicular content, but it was interesting and bizarre in equal measures.

Day 8:

 

We left ourselves plenty of time so we didn't have to rush out of Berlin; the next drive (to Hannover) was fairly short and we didn't need to do anything there except eat and sleep.

We had a wander to Trabi World, where they hire out Trabants for tours etc. They also seem to have a sideline in American cars for some reason.

One of our group casually mentioned that we were really close to Classic Remise. None of us had been before, so we decided to pop in on the way out of Berlin.

 

The cars on the surrounding streets were a good sign

These valuable Mercedes seemed to have been dumped here for a while

...and then we went inside. This place is incredible! It seems to be the premises for a load of high-end specialists and contains shitloads of exotica you can just walk around for free! 

 

There were a lot of Mercedes, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches etc, but here are some highlights of the more interesting stuff:

You were just around the corner from Checkpoint Charlie too. Which I think explains the yank tanks at trabby world, if memory serves it was in the American sector. If the rules there were like the rules here then the service men imported yank stuff & had to sell it when they left.

After Classic Remise we headed to Hannover for the night, where we spent ages failing to find a cash machine and this was the most interesting thing we saw

Cash machines are usually inside the banks- foyer's are open 24 hours. Took me a while a few years back to work out that they were never on the street.

Day 9:

 

From Hannover it was about an hour's drive to Wolfsburg and the VW museum.

This place looks like it's split into loads of big buildings, but only one (called the Autohaus or similar) contains anything that isn't brand new

 

You'd expect it to be almost exclusively VAG stuff in there, but about half of it seemed to be selected at random and had no obvious connection. Which was good.
