 And
these are not the back streets but Berlin's equivalent of Oxford Street
and Piccadilly! and last year to round it off nicely we finished the drive
at the Meilenwerk an old tram
depot that has been turned into an 'Old Timers' paradise (that's cars
not me - although I might just feel that I have gone to heaven) Here we
get a light lunch and the chance to take the shuttle bus to and from the
Ku-Damm, a major boulevard
of Berlin or the Potsdamer
Platz the very heart of the reunited Berlin - it was a part of the
old 'no mans land' in East Berlin during the days of partition. |

Today
is probably one of the most memorable days of the Treffen - to see
a convoy of MGs of all types and ages being escorted o
n
a cavalcade right through the centre of Berlin is just 'something
else'. I can not imagine the Metropolitan Police doing this in London
and above all to see many of the guys enjoying it.
