The drive is short, 5 minutes up the road we stop at a Hein Gericke store where I cannot resist some shopping. I end up buying some nice motorcycle riding pants for a lot less cost than they would be back home. 45 minutes later, the journey resumes.
The drive is very wet, the spray from cars on the autobahn makes for high concentration as the visibility is very poor. There is also a lot of road works on the autobahn, where they make the lanes narrow. It's always nervous times passing big trucks.
Anyway suddenly Helen sees two Concorde planes to our right, so we impulsively take the next off ramp to investigate. Turns out we've found Sinsheim Auto Technik Museum, an amazing place. Full of all sorts of motorcycles, cars, army vehicles, trains, planes, and more! Something for everyone. A huge collection, of famous cars and motorcycles, many working exhibits, and especially both the French/English Concorde plus the Soviet Tupolev Tu-144. They even have the Blue Flame there!
We arrive at our hotel late afternoon, it is cold and wet here at Nürburgring. The forecast is also bad, even mentioning snow. Tomorrow we are due to take a lap of Nordschleife in the BMW Ring Taxi early morning, and snow could wreck our plans. A nervous night ahead.
