Yes we have a nice time! Had a look at the Ford vintage car collection and a tour round the factory. They build only the Fiesta there today, about 600 of them every day.

Time for some updates. Left Cologne after Ford visit for Speyer. Took a detour to Boppard to have a look at "the bendiest bend" a place where river Rhein does its sharpest turn. Went up in a lift (funicular) sitting on a rotten piece of wood to reach the viewpoint, I hated it, but preferred to stand out going down so I didnt have to walk.

Rest and repair day in Speyer yesterday. Went to Speyer technik museum, alot to see, and even more if you are a space geek like me, alot about the US space program. Today we headed south east to Mittenwald and got there to take part in the parking war.

Speyer was amazing, so good we went to Sinsheim this morning to go on Concord and see more great cars.

After leaving Sinsheim it was great surprise to meet up with three Cortina’s 

After many miles it was great to follow you for the last leg of today’s journey. We are staying in Klais for two days just outside Mittenwald
