How was the flight - I spent 10 months working near Hannover and every Monday flying on FlyBe to Hannover and every Friday flying back - had some scarry moments I can tell thee :shock:

Looks like you enjoyed yourself

I wish I had gone in Doris - one day!!!!! :roll: Thanks chaps,yeah it was great. I couldn't believe how there was no merchandise to buy though,I think they could make a fortune with bits & bobs.Not even a 'stiftung Museum' sticker for my back window!Also,I forgot to take my chassis number for a birth certificate so I'll have to do it on line. anyway,I've added one of me waiting in the airport reading 'Volksworld' ,so you know what I look like now.

Yer I found it strange that there was no stickers etc for sale. I ended up walking to Wolfsburg train station to the tourist info place and buying a sticker.

yeah i noticed the lack of people in your pictures, it looks like you almost had the whole place to yourself. Are there two museums? did you make the other one as well?

ha ha - me to!
Johnny,there is the 'Autostadt',(4 min walk from station) general motoring Museum with strong links to VW obviously,but also supported by AUDI,Skoda,Seat.Massive place with 5 levels of classic cars of all makes and landscaped grounds.you can also buy a new VW from there.

The Stiftung auto Musuem (20 min walk from station) is just pure classic Volkswagens,like a big hall with all the vehicles parked in it.smaller,cheaper but just VW's!

On the map,there is a 'VW Arena'. I thought "great another museum!" but its just a stadium sponsored by VW, like MEN areana or Brittania Stadium.

so 2 places to go,both worth a visit,more for family and more to see at Autostadt,but for pure VW heads - the Stiftung Musuem.

Oh right,I don't follow football AT ALL or know anything about it! in fact I don't think I've ever been to a football court,even in school football I could never score a wicket.

We went to Autostadt in 2000 and there was a gift shop on the ground floor selling bits and pieces of Autostadt memorabilia. Looks like it's changed a fair bit in the last 10 years.

It may be the anniversary vw, but it hasn't stopped someone pinching the VW logo on the boot-lid!
