Urlaub 2010

[w201034]

Hallo Leute.

This summer I have been on vacation for 2 weeks. First to EM Rallycross in Höljes, Sweden. Then a day at the Volvo-museum in Gothenburg. Unfortunately I had forgot the memorycard for my pocket-camera so first after the visit I remebered to buy a new one. After the Volvo-museum we went through Denmark and headed for Germany where we visit Thorsten Stadler, Fränk Dollwett and the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart. Don't have enough time today to tell everything, but will post some pictures for teasing you all

Littlebit south of Gothenburg we spotted this W201. Schlechter zustand





I think this one is rare even in Sweden Volvo 245 Funeral-edition




Passing 117.000km on the Evolution II speedo in my rauschsilber 2.3-16.




Satisfied driver



More stories will come. Some pictures while waiting.

Hi Arnt.

Wir haben uns sehr über den Besuch aus Norwegen gefreut
Es war absoluter Hochsommer und bis zu 38° heiß, was unsere Ausflüge nicht immer einfach gemacht hat

Der Stein im Hintergrund des Bildes ist ein sogenannter Gollenstein welcher auf dem Hochplateau der Barockstadt Blieskastel / Saar zu finden ist und vor mehr als 4000 Jahren von Menschenhand dort aufgestellt/errichtet wurde.
Er ist eines der ältesten Kultur- und Baudenkmäler Deutschlands und gilt mit einer Höhe von 6,60 Metern als der größte „Menhir“ Mitteleuropas.




Nette Grüße aus Zweibrücken

Nice picture Frank
We really enjoyd visiting you all, and hope that it won't be too long until next visit!

Here you see the weather when we were crossing the bridge between Själland and Jylland (I think. Will check it later)
Nice and hot, and sun all day




In the parking-area at Citti-Park in Flensburg I spotted this W201. Complete car in okey condition



We were now heading for Hann. Münden and Team Stadler Motorsport.
Even that we arrived late in afternoon, they were still working! A quick overview on my rauschsilber, changing the injectors and the rubberhoses for the KE were done before we decided to come back the day after.

Thorsten rekommanded this hotel, Alter Packhof (right in the picture), in the middle of the town.



Bringing our stuff from the car. Should be good with a shower now



The river Fulda just outside the hotell



Very good standard

The room looks good.
My last hotel wasn't so good, even if it had 4 stars.

Nice pictures.

The room was very nice

In the evening we decided to have a walk in the Midtstatte. This evening it was the half-final between Germany and Spain. We were hengry and wanted a pizza to eat, and because everyone were outside, we were the only two persons inside the restaurant when eating











The next morning Thorsten and Patrick (?) did a CO-adjust. The verspannungrelay had to be changed too because of the unstable idle.

After a nice stay in Hann. Münden we started to drive south and heading for Zweibrücken.

Heavy traffic!



I didn't contact Frank until 15km before we arrived Zweibrücken, but we were lucky and he and his family were able to meet us.
I had bought a set of Lorinser RS rims, and this was one reason why I wanted to take the tip to ZW again. Frank helped me with organize a place where they could remove the old tyres so I just needed to bring single rims with me.
We stayed in ZW for two days, and the memories are unforgetable. Beautiful town with a lot of history all way for many thousand years!





One of the largest and oldest Gollenstein in Europe!







Really want to do this more!

Saturday morning we discussed if we should make a trip to Nordschleife, or if we should visit the "new" Mercedes-Benz Museum.
Because of very hot weather and high temperature, the result became the Museum in Stuttgart.
20km before arriving in Stuttgart the ATA showed amazing 36,5 degrees!



In the street next to the museum we catch this new, but known car. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.




Here are some pictures that I made at the museum.







The 2.3-16 on the wall is one of three Nardo-cars. Notice that some of the panels are made in one piece, compered to the regular 16 valves.






The very first Daimler.












The beautiful 1954 300SL :O










Popemobil



R129 500SL driven by Princess Diana of Wales. She was the first of the british royalty who chosed a car not made in the UK.



















The DTM-car used by champion Klaus Ludwig in the 1992 season.




An original 190E 2.5-16 Evolution with only 21.600km on the tacho! This car was for sale as a youngtimer, and with Mercedes-Benz varanty! Price?? 55.000euro as I remember.






The last to pictures shows my rauchsilber 2.3-16 outside Mercedes-Benz Niederlassung in Stuttgart

Wow, viele tolle Bilder Arnt
Es war sehr nett, mit euch ein paar Tage zu verbringen.
So ein anständiger Besuch ist bei uns jederzeit Willkommen
Mal schauen, vielleicht schaffen wir es ja, euch im nächsten Jahr in Norwegen zu besuchen, ich hätte Lust darauf.......

Nette Grüße

Great pictures, looks like you had a great trip to Germany.

Nice to see that Asch Klasse 1 car is on display at the musuem. It used to be on display at the Motorsport Musuem at the Nürburgring, but when they closed down, Mercedes took it back and put it in storage at Fellbach, just outside Stuttgart.

[w201034]

Yes it was an incredible trip and can highly recommandthis to everybody!
The Museum is really nice, so hope I can do it again another time

[Nagilum]

As Frank said, a lot of really nice pictures. I enjoyed to watch them.
