hi all,
when iwas in germany recently i went to the sinsheim museum for transport..
it had all sorts of cars, trains, trucks, war machinery etc from the past 100+ years..
there were lots of top cars i'll try to show some later but for now feast your eyes on one of my favourites.. :thumb

engine, dizzy is too big, fuel pump is on the wrong side of dizzy, has heater tubes, to name the most obvious.
(oldest splits had 25hp mills)


guards, those are 60s guards, thats how!
Original split (and oval, and 58/59?)) guards has small round tail lights, and semaphores instead of blinkers.

yeah i'll put some more up kubels etc when i get some spare time..
that place had lots and lots of everything..
you need at least 2 days to look at everything its BIG huge and if your over that way it is a must see like wolfsburg (next trip maybe)..

We have the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Lots of tanks, planes, cars, guns and even a Kubel!
I spent most of a day wondering around there too, picked up a sweet book, Military Volkswagens and the Third Reich!
