Saab 96 at the Langenburg Historic Races in Germany

Thats pretty cool. Esbjerg had a couple of car shows a year. Usually one during the fall and one in the early spring.

Nothing special and they were very informal and the collection of cars was an odd mixture. Everything from 70's Italian supercars to American muscle cars from the same era.

The weekend of May 3 there is a big yearly rally at the Bodensee in the border with Austria and Switzerland, it's organized by Autobild, Germany's biggest car magazine, I'll be headed down there to check it out too.

Buying Saabs, touring Europe, going to all these fun events. Can you slow it down a bit because you're making me jealous!

Thanks for the photo report

I am cramming, because I soon leave Germany and will spend the rest of my summer in exotic Afghanistan as far from automotive fun as possible.

I have been slowly going through the photos, here are a few more.

1970 NSU TT

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS

1992 LCR Suzuki, it has three wheels and a seat like a car, but has a side car-like platform on the left side. This thing must be very fast




1975 Autobianchi A112


1959 Auto Union DKW 1000, had a two stroke engine. Much like a two stroke SAAB this car made more noise than speed, and was an awesome sight to see at full throttle! My mom apparently learned to drive on this car and remembers the two stroke engine
