Porsche Museum

Post by TheBaron »

Hi all

Just got back from skiing in Austria, I drove there, on the way back i decided to go into the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart as i was passing, old museum not much there, however Porsche was having its open day for staff and family for the new Museum, it officially opens to the public on 31st jan 2009.

I managed to blag my way in with my family in tow, all i can say is WOW, the cars are amazing the building is amazing they have brought it upto the 21st century, Profit money well spent.
