The Nürburgring, Germany
•
Visiting the Nürburgring was a fascinating insight into one of the worlds most revered, and feared, motor racing circuits.

Technology Museum Speyer, Germany
•
I’d had a great time at the Technology Museum Sinsheim, so when I found myself on the other side of the Rhine, I thought I’d better go and check out its sister museum in Speyer. Like it’s bigger sibling, the Museum held a staggering display of historic cars, aircraft, and just about everything else

The Zastava 750 ‘Fica’, Serbia

During the time of the former Yugoslavia, a thriving motor industry produced some interesting, cool and just plain shithouse cars.

Technology Museum Sinsheim, Germany
•
I have a penchant for historic aircraft and vehicles, and will spend hours contentedly poring over exhibits until the cleaners throw me out.

The Trabant, Germany

Varna’s Retro Museum, Bulgaria
•
Right next to Varna’s bus station is the Bulgarian city’s Grand Mall; a modern shopping centre full of brand name stores and teenagers whiling away their summer school holidays. Somewhat strangely, it is also home to Varna’s Retro Museum, a treasure trove of soviet-era cars and memorabilia. Now that’s gotta be worth a look.

The Royal Automobile Museum, Jordan
•
King Hussein bin Talal ruled Jordan from 1952, when he was not yet 17 years old, until his passing in 1999 at age 63. The King had a love of cars, motorcycles and motorsport, and not being short of a few dinars built a staggering collection of vehicles during his reign.
