For some reason I found myself thinking of Meilenwerk in Berlin today. I guess I’m having some kind of exotic car withdraw here in Montreal right now.
When I was at VW and we had a quiet afternoon or the team was feeling demoralized we’d pile into a Caddy and take a field trip to this auto enthusiasts heaven. It’s a beautifully executed storage facility housed in an old tram garage. The center is like a fantasy classic car dealership which is surrounded by these 2 story glass storage units, and then the perimeter of the building is made up of several small garage/bodyshops dedicated to various marques. The cars are really diverse and always coming and going so the place has a real buzz that’s rarely found at indoor collections. They have facilities in Düsseldorf and Stuttgart now, but I’m kind of surprised this sort of thing isn’t way more common all over the world. So next time your in Berlin put it on your to do list!
