FrankIn 2016 we were in the Netherlands, and we decided to fly to Germany to visit the Audi museum in Ingolstadt. Would you like to see some photos from that trip, #weirdcarmastodon?
Well alrighty then! So our 36 hour jaunt to Germany consisted of an early morning walk to central train station in Amsterdam and then a train to Schiphol, the airport. From there we hopped a short flight to Munich. From Munich we took a train to Ingolstadt and from the Ingolstadt train station, a tax to the museum.

The flight was under an hour, it's quite doable if you're in Europe and I decided to seize the opportunity whilst there.

So once upon a time, before there was the VW Golf, there was the VW Passat. The Passat was a joint venture build with VW's stablemate, Audi. Audi built the B1 and B2 Passats, and their brother, the Audi 80 AKA Fox.
My VW Passat is a German built B1, so I got to visit his birthplace!

The Audi R8 and the Audi Museum in the background. It's not huge, but they do have a fantastic collection in there.

Audi is one of the automotive companies that make up Auto Union. DKW is another.

Al Gorithm@vwdasher This reminds me..... I used to have a friend with an American WW2 Willys Army Jeep who'd gone me a lift to work in the mornings, windscreen down. What a way to wake up!
@TheBreadmonkey I'll be folding down the Haflinger windscreen and driving it one day!
