Käfertreffen 1st of May was a blast… again! Part 1

Don’t tell me I never told You… you get a report every year about this show I attend for a straight 25 years in a row (except for one I missed because of a confirmation of my Godson)

This year was bigger, busier, more crowded and more special as ever! You really have to do this pilgrimage at least once in your life!

As every big show line up to come in was p^retty long…. thanks god i drove in on Thursday evening already…

DSC01207_blogThis would win my price for most heavy bus in a blink!

DSC01208_blogAnd most cool license plate as well! It’s very hard to get a personalised license plate in Germany is what they always told me, so this guy scored big time!

DSC01209_blog Friend Stepan showed us his first raw castings of the Porsche PreA cylinder head… very very nice!!!

DSC01211_blog Type 3 squareback delivery van, very weird, and very rare car, this one was really outstanding!

DSC01235_blog General overview give You about an impression from the size, and this is probably only a quarter of the total space!

DSC01236_blog Real swap atmosphere!

DSC01243_blogCar on display division was even larger as the swap!
