It's a Man's Welt (World)

Fooled you - it's a ladies' world too - Thought about buying this cycle for me at BMW Welt. Quite an operation. 140 cars being "delivered" at the Welt yesterday - ours was at 10:00, toured the factory (lots of robots - amazing). Plant builds 950 BMWs a day and they sell 1.5 million/year.
Ross' Best Friend Rolf - this is the guy who showed us how to use everything on the car - and in view of Oktoberfest the staff were dressed in traditional costume - ain't he cute?

This is Ross' car from the "viewing stage" while we enjoyed free food. They have a remote control that makes it turn on a circle thing - impressive.

This is Ross' new girlfriend. The first person we met with who handles the "paperwork" - German efficiency much in evidence.

So - one glitch - after we "took delivery", toured the plant, then the museum, then the shop - went to get our car to leave and IT WAS NOT TO BE FOUND - MIGHT I ADD IT ALSO HAD OUR SUITCASES, THE PAPERWORK AND MY BAG. The girls at the desk got very nervous - after a few minutes I remembered I had taken pictures of the license plate so I showed my digital camera photo - Voila! - it worked - they had the key filed under Ross and not John R. Jones - who would have thought a digital photo would bring a new car back -

Can't waste time - out to dinner soon. In Regensburg - finally hit a little rain. Going to visit Sara in Edelsfeld tomorrow - the new car is parked in a ramp in the skinniest spot imaginable but we checked on the baby today and no door dings yet!
