Germany 2014

Living in Germany now with my fam and lots of old project posts to catch up on and I will do this as time permits.  Next week is a huge automotive industry trade show that just happens to be right here in Frankfurt, Automechanika.  Hoping to make some good contacts:

The Nimbus: a Futuristic electric minibus

This concept car looks like it would be great on Safari but I'm not sure how it would do nose to nose with a Eurovan or a Vanagon in collision.  I'd be curious to find out what its range is.  They will need some US DOT approved bumpers if it ever goes into production for US import, but interesting nonetheless.
