German Car Show Pics

Kuan and I hit a German car show today in St. Paul. Part of their "Sommerfest" celebration. MBCA was in full force, with a few dozen Mercs. Also in attendance were a number of P-cars, along with a smattering of BMWs and even a Borgward (forgot to take a pic)

M100 enthusiast, Karl Middlehauve was in attendance with his "Benzomino", complete with a fuelie M100 mill.

Wow, talk about Deutschland uber Alles, I wish I could have seen those.

St Paul must be something to see, it looks great. The most beautiful girl I ever saw in my life, was from there (White Bear Lake) sigh....

Kuan took some pics as well...

It was a perfect day. There were some cool old V-dubs and a smattering of Audis. Tomorrow they're having the Concours d'Elegance. I think it's just Mercs, Rollers and Porsche.

Their are a few sponsered by the dealers, but from the pictures I have seen the turn out's are not that great.

I have seen the registration records, Westport alone has like 200 Ferrari's, and 3k Mercedes.

I'd be happy with a W109... Black on Black with little german flags on the front fenders so it looks like a Diplomat car. with of course a big V-8

I wouldn't be terribly upset if a 280SE 3.5 cabriolet in that color combination was found in my garage.
