waiting for the documents...

After the birthday party at my place with some friends (I'm 33) on the 18th of November...

... we went to Germany on the following weekend (26-27 November) to pick up the doka and take it home. This is Udo's 'Werkstatt' in March (near Freiburg).


Udo showed us a Volvo to be chopped and other things...


We had a look also to the lastest issue of VW Speed (Jan 07) with a contest for the car of the year, and my Bug (The Goldfather) is in the list!

Udo not so clear in this pic...


Me and Udo putting the German plate because in Switzerland they can stop you long if you pass trough there and they don't see any license plate..

We had dinner in Emmendingen, in an almost-Christmas atmosphere.. wine... we still prefer Italian. Perhaps we did a bad choice. But we got 'happy' as well.. eheh

We slept in our nice usual Hotel in Emmendingen, the Markgraf Hotel. This was the view from our room in the morning of 27 November.


We left Germany for the 750km trip home
Little stop in a Swiss 'Autogrill'

On Italian highway at sunset... a look at the mirror...

At night, almost at home after hundreds kms, your sight becomes like this...

Adde sent gently two pieces of Der Steiner Rad for me just to have a look...


On Ebay I bought these two nice headlight grills from Germany.
I had to work on one of that to rebuild a clip. They feature slanted design and don't require any drilling or removing of glass.
