Motorworld Cologne & Schumacher collection. Pic-heavy.

Post by Chris_D » Fri Feb 01, 2019 9:46 pm

Had a mosey on over to Motorworld in Köln today. It houses Schumachers' personal collection of private and former F1 cars as well as a veritable plethora of other tasty metal, some also for sale and is an absolute gem of a place!

I was more of a Senna fan tbh but ze German comes hot on his heels in terms of respic and outright talent and the absolute tragedy of shumys' current predicament compelled me to make this trip. Plus, it's not so far away from me in Holland. 8)

Got chatting to some german Schumacher fans and it's obvious that he is still very much held in high esteem in der fatherland!

450km round trip. 42.8mpg @75mph.

Some pics.

Every helmet. Some even with spittlemarks on the inside surface of the visor possibly from swearing out loud at Mansell :lol:

Fabulous! Thanks for posting.

I must try to go there.

I went to the Schlumpf Museum just before Xmas. If anyone who hasn't been there and get's the chance you MUST! It's incredible too!

Yes - done it twice and enjoyed it more the second time as I wasn't so overwelmed by it all!
It was sad to read that a French mob trashed some of the Schlumpf brothers cars during an industrial dispute.
