Oooh that 190E 2.3! That's the Cosworth-engineered 4cyl, right? I remember loving that car in Gran Turismo 4 for PS2.

Cool! Pretty long trip for you to get here though!

It is an hour away from home for me, so pretty close

I envy you, only an hour away.
24 hour flight for me
Was a great experience though, went to Baselworld as well + MB and Porsche Museum + plenty of Castles, ultimate boys trip with my 16 year old son

Looks like a good time!

I like that stretched out Beetle with a surfboard on top. The older M cars aren't too bad either.
