Head to the Autostadt early and book yourself on the English speaking tour as spaces are limited and don't forget to try the currywurst in the delivery pavilion restaurant, made with the famous VW part number bratwurst :grin:

Post by: gtipirelli on July 02, 2014, 09:13:20 pm: I had a yellow mk1 golf just like the picture above with a 1.5l engine. Tried to make it look like a GTi before I actually got myself a white mk1 GTi 1.6. Best car I ever owned, so much fun, cheap to run and one of the quickest things on the road back in the day

The memories :driver:

Post by: V2 FAN on August 26, 2014, 01:13:49 pm: I used to blast into Germany only taking 2hrs from Calais so never stopped as the journey was relatively quick.

If you do feel the need for a half way stop then I would stop of in Maastricht, it's a beautiful place :happy2:

Enjoy your trip
