1938 with 429km/h on the German Autobahn

2012-01-28T10:39:00.007+01:00

some historic places around Frankfurt that are almost forgotten. todays 28th of january and 74 years ago Bernd Rosemeyer (who was the first person driving over 400km/h on a regular street) crashed @ 429,491km/h on the German Autobahn (between Frankfurt and Darmstadt) with his Auto Union. same day Mercedes set a new top speed record with 436,895km/h

just for the back of the head - the 1001PS Bugatti has a top speed of 407km/h

TÜV Katalog Oldtimer

2012-01-09T09:35:00.003+01:00

maybe only interesting for the german gear heads. the (I think latest) 2011 TÜV Katalog that throws light on the requirements to classify your baby as an "Oldtimer". read it well before you go there since you need to know the details better than the tech inspector

the full pdf you´ll find at the wheelerdealer Technik zone @ http://www.wheelerdealer.de/

have a good start into the week everybody
