We Tour the Techno Classica 2013 in Essen, Germany
April 18, 2013
We had the good fortune to attend the Techno Classica car show in Essen this past weekend. BMW had a HUGE display(again) this year. What I always love about BMW's display is that they bring their old classic cars from BMW Classic while they also invite the "creme dela creme" BMW car clubs thru out Germany, to come out and represent the brand. I think this is what makes this show special for me. Members from the various BMW car clubs are on hand to answer any questions you might have. As are Representatives from BMW Classic and Motorsports Dept. The Techno Classica is a HUGE event, much liker the Frankfurt autoshow (IAA) - you could spend several days there and NOT see every car on display. There are also MANY cars outside for sale by private individuals. IF anyone has the means to come visit Germany... this is their Hershey or Carlisle show. Two big thumbs up from me! I highly recommend attending. Now, onto the photos... Dackel MESSE ESSEN GmbH Norbertstrasse 2 45131 Essen www.siha.de http://www.siha.de/tce_uk.php?m=1&ms=1

That Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is so strange to see next to a person because its actually a very small car for how ridiculously fast it is. In fact, I think I remember hearing that its smaller an a VW Jetta!
Damn cool. Great pics!

Great pics! good job.
For me absolutely most beautiful is roadster BMW 507! Here is black with license plate 35302. Only 253 cars were built. Nice to see it here. |
