Thanks for sharing - when I was living in Germany last year I went several times to the museum in Stuttgart whenever I could convince friends they had to see it I don't get tired of wandering and talking to the folks there. I was surprised the same way you were about the chassis production not taking place there - I guess it did at one time, but Mercedes just got too big I suppose.

And I don't think it silly at all to take such a long trip - you accomplished your mission and had fun doing it.

Cheers.

John in San Antonio
