The Beetle is a replica of the VW 30, a prototype for the beetle from 1936/37

i Have to say i do love the old 911 and would have another again if i could afford or have the room for it.... our problem is we want to have so many cars.. but don't have the room or funds to do so...

The Car towers.....are where VW store the cars before they are collected... they have two of them at the autostdt (which is next to the factory) aboyt 50m high and each ower holds 400 cars

The car towers work like giant vending machines: As a new car arrives from the factory, it's transported by robot to an empty storage slot in one of the towers; when a customer shows up to collect the car, the same robotic picking system fetches the vehicle, brings it down to ground level, and transfers it to the KundenCenter in the next building.

so the customers gets a brand new car with no mileage on

In Germany, it's common practice for cars to be collected from the factory. around 500 cars are collected a day from the Volkswagen's KundenCenter

Very nice pics there buddy..you know your way round a camera i take it..what do you use and what kinda lenses do you use?..I just got a new Canon 1000D with 18-55 and a 75-300 telephoto but am still learnin to use it

Thanks... I know the basics I guess... I still think I could improve and better the basic skills I have. i think even the best photographers are always learning.. Trying new techniques.. i find the more photos i take the easier i find it...

I have quite a few cameras.....The two digital ones are Nikon' date=' a D40X, and a P5100. The P5100 the my point and shoot one... has some slr features but its easy to use and carry around. The D40X is an SLR. I have a selection of lens 18-55mm, 18-200mm and 55-200mm i think... also have a separate flash unit, lens filters, tripods etc etc

I'm not really up on canon... but that looks to be a good one and you have a good range of lens too...[/b']
