Tomorrow morning I am going to locate the old Karmann plant where our Crossfires were built.
I also will explore the town and take some pics
I'll post up what I get next week upon returning home

Take some hi-res pics of the plant so we can print them, blow 'em up, and pose our cars in front of them at the Dragon this fall !!! LOL !!!

I have some hi-res pics of "Progressive Stadium" in Cleveland, OH now. Not sure WHAT to do with them, 'cept turn 'em over to the boss when I get home.

I just tracked it on my GPS and it's only 5 min.from my hotel.
I'm at the Hotel Westerkamp in Osnabruck
www.westerkamp.de
It's currently 2:35am and I got here about midnight after driving from Berlin.
Time for a few hours sleep before my short
Osnabruck adventure.
Then heading to Amsterdam for a few days .
I'll post pics later in this thread and on FB
Oh and yes the autobahn here is. AWESOME !!!!

Good night

Hopefully you were able to rent an M3 or better for the Autobahn. Enjoy your trip.

I thought I read a few years back that VW bought that plant.

So cool to have stood at the factory here in Germany and see where our Crossfires were born.
I parked and talked with the security staff and they thought it was cool that I was at the factory and had such interest in the Crossfire.
They of course are now building VW and Porsche at this factory and mostly were on holiday (vacation) this week but several own and drive Crossfires today to work.
Here are the pics I took
