Motorworld Cologne & Schumacher collection. Pic-heavy.
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.
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.
Humble beginnings Every helmet. Some even with spittlemarks on the inside surface of the visor possibly from swearing out loud at Mansell

Have spent WAYYYYY too many hours driving this in rFactor. Ground clearance still just as abysmal
Some old nazi-era SS taxis, now comically re-purposed as museum fodder.

Last pit-pass. Poignant.
From the private collection. With patina.
Chortle.
There's a Bentley dealership there too....selling lots of Lamborghinis and not many Bentleys.
Still the sexiest rear-end of any BMW.

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.
A different era but still stunning cars!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.
