I have recently been at the Autostadt with two friends of mine from California and didn't forget you guys so I took a couple of pictures. :) I tried to get inside of the towers, but they wouldn't let me even though I had a press pass...

(If you go 150mph, which is possible through our "Autobahn" being free for any speed you choose). But I would have to disappoint you, because I have been at the "Autostadt" (which is translated as "Cartown") and you cannot just walk in there and take photos or videos. You have to buy a car to get into the reception area, or you have to have a REALLY good reason to go in there. And besides, to get into the tower is not permitted because, just as it was designed, nobody is supposed to go inside since it is an automated garage. But I could still try to get some more pictures when I am in Wolfsburg the next time, which might be next week-end. At night the complex is astonishingly beautiful, they have installed flashing lights and there are the towers for the Powerplant which is used to produce electricity for the manufacturing. I'll do my best and will visit some time again! cya Max from Germany Hey guys,

Except in Thunderbirds there was a man with two levers controlling it.
