Just your typical Saturday in downtown Munich. Poor people and their cars...

Munich appears to be a genuine mecca for carspotters ! Frankfurt am Main is quite good in this aspect as well. Hamburg, despite its' size (some 1.8 mio inhabitants in Hamburg City, Hamburg Metro (minor) approx. 3.0 mio.) and population , isn't quite as exciting I suspect. Many, many Porsche 911s'...Bentley Continental GTs' relatively plentiful. Some Lambos.Far fewer Ferraris it seems.

Love to see all those classic Benzes...
I guess some of those Lamborghini and Ferrari are FC Bayern soccer players related.

I've been to both Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main for a few days and those cities are remarkably restrained when it comes to exotics. I saw an old Mercedes 300 "Adenauer" in Hamburg, but that was it. Admittedly I probably wasn't in the best areas to spot exotics so my word here does not mean anything.

I believe the FC Bayern players are obliged to drive Audis because Audi sponsors them. And they will typically have a license plate that reads MM (Deutscher Meister) or M:RM (Rekordmeister) to add some extra glamour!

Way back I've seen Pep Guardiola and Mario Götze cruising up and down Maximilianstraße in their Audi S8s.

Is it always like this when Munich has a nice days? I don't think I've seen a more eclectic bunch of high-end modern cars, classic cars, vintage American muscle. Carspotting must be real fun, I guess there's another reason for me to go to Munich.

The classic car scene in Hamburg is quite interesting. There appears to be a special affinity for old British roadsters (Austin-Healey 2600/3000, MG-A and MG-B, AH Sprites/MG Midgets and Triumph TRs'(5s' and 6s' mostly). Old Volvos are popular as well. And then there's the occasional Porsche 356, 1950s' vintage VW Bug and classic M-B. The once flourishing classic U.S. car scene appears to be fading a bit.

My Saturday car spotting consisted simply of this

.. always one of my favorite cars.

Love the Jensen Interceptor, that appears to be one of the Series 4 models built in the lates 80's to early 90's.

I like the rust free Mercedes S123. Out of the modern cars I all of a sudden fin the W212 very desirable.
