Chaps,

I'm sure most of you know about the Transaxle Exhibition at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Details here:

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/company/porsche-museum-stuttgart-special-exhibit-2016-transaxle-12478.html

It runs up until October 16th, Tuesdays to Sundays, 9.0am-6.0pm (i.e. closed on Mondays). Has anyone been? Would anyone like to go? I'd quite like to trip over and have a shufti and was wondering whether anyone would be up for a convoy over there. (This is all very tentative at this stage I hasten to add!)

Just happen to be taking the S2 to Germany on 3 September. Stopping with friends who live near the Nurburgring[;)]
Going to be in Stuttgart around 6 or 7 September hopefully.
Cheers
Paul.
 
I have been over there. I was surprised at how much of the museum has been taken over by transaxles - some really interesting 944s to see, and I loved the fact that they are not all pristine, factory-fresh museum pieces, but 500k kilometre in a year, and of course the rear engine 4wd 944, on it's side so you can see underneath. There is interest in amongst the 924s - with the 924 Targa for example... I would love to go again, but finance, yadda, just really glad I did.

I flew. And stayed in a hotel very close - in fact from my room I could see the centre-piece at the roundabout with skyward-soaring 911s, and the Porsche logo on the factory. The whole package, for three days cost less than £150 - in fact I think the most expensive part was the airport parking at Gatwick - however, I did a have a very kind girlfriend who trawled the net looking for a deal plenty in advance to make it affordable!

There was a transaxle gathering earlier in the year, to which I would have loved to have gone to, but it clashed with a Dorset event, and I kind of wanted to support my local region, and the question of money, yadda... driving obviously would work out much more expensive.

If anyone wants a passenger, I speak a little German - I can order beer and everything!

Tref.


 
Booked it!

Martin and I are travelling out of Manchester on the 13th and back on the 15th of October. Booked the factory tour for while we are over there too.

If anyone else is thinking about it then we might see you there.
 
Dragging up an old-ish thread, the plans for this are starting to look a bit more realistic. I think we'll be going out on the evening of the 29th or morning of the 30th Sept (Thursday evening or Friday morning), and coming back on the 2nd Oct (Sunday). Accommodation is not yet decided (maybe an AirBnB flat, may be a hotel) but the party is currently numbering five.

Stuart, if you are interested in joining then please PM me - and the same offer is open to anyone else.

I'd check your accommodation prices first as thats the weekend we first looked at and pretty sure there's a state fair on at the same time and accommodation was both scarce and scarily expensive.
 
Hi Oli,
I've tried PMing you but couldn't on my phone.
I'm away on holiday that week.
I'll have to leave it this time.

Went to the museum and exhibition last week and thoroughly enjoyed it the Transaxle display was really good. Anyone going I would really recommend the Christophorus Restaurant for lunch, it is incredibly good. Great cigar room at the rear as well. Can put some photos up if anyone would like to see them once I get them off the camera.

1600 miles down through Germany in the S2, it was faultless.
A great trip.
Paul.
