No museumwithsales stands–Motorsportlive
To be totallyhonest, I am pleased indeed alwayswhen one seesa classic car, a genuine interestI did not, however. ProbablyI just do nothave the wherewithal, as one or the other, I would take already…

My conclusiontoKlassikwelt Bodensee2015
Although Iwould probably never haveoccurred to meto visitaclassic car show(never thought tovintagetoold motorcycles), I could relyonthe kind ofshow in Friedrichshafen. Iwasnotdisappointed becauseit was agreatevent, whichI would nothave missedandto which Ilike tobe backin 2016.
With all theshowsreallya lotwasofferedand one dayon theClassicalWorldBodenseeis not enoughtoeverything in peaceto watch. But thefairalso wentover three days, in which I wasunfortunatelyonly onethere. Forthe showson therace trackstands wereset upso thatyou could seereally good.
Justat the timethe showrace,emptiedsomethingthehallsand you couldtake thevehicles exhibitedgoodclose look.
