No rally, but the mass exodus of a people imprisoned in their state ...
... for forty years. It happened in November 1989, when the Berlin wall came down, the government of the communist Eastern Germany folded, and the GDR citizens were free to see their neighbors in West Germany.
A few very good freinds of mine were among them - I remember receiving their first phone call from "the West", we all wept from joy ...

Marcus
EDIT: Ooopps ... just realized that there is a slight difference between "exitus" and "exodus" ...
Imagine .... it's 1989 ...
.... and your neighboor comes home from work ..... in this !!!!!!!!!! Fortunately , my best friend was visiting me and had a good camera ... I think this has been up until now one of the largest drooling-sessions for me (the other one being the Paris-Gyro...
Awesome! Carbon back seats and all....
Such a beautiful Ferrari! Did you get a ride in it? -MW
Unfortunately ...

My thrill drive, forever in debt to Gary...
For me, this was my dream car growing up, and I got to drive one finally! The real bonus also was the passenger who I got to drive around for a couple of hair-raising minutes... Any guesses??? I have had the great priviledge and honour to drive a 1970 365...
In 1989, our neighbours came home with these cars ...
Apparently, they are nowhere as fast as a Ferrari, since their drivers needed forty years to reach their destination .... Best regards, Marcus This message has been edited by Marcus Hanke on 2009-03-18 04:45:53...
Nice record of history, Marcus.
A good friend is from West Berlin. He has told me similar tales from November 89. Are there many (any) Trabbies left?
Not really 1989 but
thought I would share since its mostly about Ferrari...... OUCH...
Drunk driver
I believe that photo is from Perth, Western Australia and was taken a couple of years back. The crash occurred outside the Windsor Hotel (a pub) and was witnessed by the Sunday drinking crowd. The driver was drunk and trying to impress the crowd. I think ...
That will be the most positively loaded 4/20, Filip!
Thanks for showing this superlative car! I stunned me! Ten years later I was starting to work at Lambo and I asked shyly if somebody could give me a ride in a Diablo . No one had time so one of the testers threw me a key and said: Lasciame probare la tua ...
INDEED ...
Hi Luc, i knew i probably had to do the year over , so i didn't really care. So, they wanted to drive your Audi TT, and you had a go in their Diablo ? Cool exchange I remember i got to drive a very early TT from D'Ieteren ..., but i really wasn't convince...
