Some great examples, but, unless you are a real fan, then it was just a good museum, not great. Or maybe I had just seen SO MANY cars this week, as this was my last Car Museum this week. I think I was kinda burned out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.carbagerun.nl\/\">The Carbage Run<\/a> &#8211; You know, Car and Garbage together?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>This is one of the best exhibits, and it was in the parking garage. I first heard about the Carbage Run when I was talking to Scuba Dive Master in one of the islands a few years ago. He was doing last years run. As I understand it, it is a classic car race for people who cannot afford classic cars. You have a limit\/guideline on how much the car can be worth (currently 500 EU). You are given a challenge every morning. This is NOT a speed race. I don&#8217;t know what the challenge was this day, but the car I saw yesterday said they were looking for 3 different colors of the BMW 3 Series car, whatever that is. I didn&#8217;t even know BMW made cars, when did that start? Are they as good as the bikes? The colors were for some flag, I am assuming the Netherlands &#8211; Red-White-Blue, but he might have said the German Flag Black-Red-Yellow. Either way, one of the colors they were looking for is extremely rare. That is why I saw that car at Motor World, as there are some pretty rare versions of everything here.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.whereisbobl.com\/2018\/2018-07-31-porsche-museum\/o\/IMG_5634.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whereisbobl.com\/2018\/2018-07-31-porsche-museum\/sml\/IMG_5634.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b> They like to decorate (pimp) their cars.
