Perhaps SGM will kill me for this one coming too late, he was in Berlin recently. But then, he had refused my tips, so I might survive.
Glynsky on the other hand has not been to Berlin and the following might be a reason for him to go. And for you as well.
Glynsky is into classic cars and racing, so this is a must see in Berlin:
The former tram depot from 1900 hosts dozens of repair shops for and dealers in classic cars. There are shops for parts and accessories, a restaurant, classic car clubs, Scuderia Berlin (Ferrari and Maserati), etc.
Yes, Glynsky, there are Alfa Romeo experts too.
The last time I was there, approximately 250-300 classic cars were on display and/or for sale.
In addition, people can rent glass boxes to park their car there. For them the cars are safe and for you on display. Like a 1937 Maybach, a Jaguar convertible from the 40s with hardtop, Rolls Royce, Bentleys, Mercedes, Aston Martins, MGs, Ferraris, Maseratis, BMWs and one of my favorites:
a Marcos GT.
Stay tuned,

So you like the Marcos eh. Jem Marsh was a racing buddy years back. A friend and I raced a Broadspeed modified 1600 BDA in '64 and '65. The car was his - remember it as TOY 3F, a great number plate - though the F was used rather often!
Dear ER. Your tips are always welcome but Berlin was my area from 1975 to 1989.
Cars for me are someting to take me to and from the Airport, to and from Hotel, Restaurant and Meetings. In fact, I have not driven a car in over 20 years.
I did visit the Technical Museum in Berlin, which is fantastic with trains, aircraft and many interesting things. It is located in an old Railway Roundhouse just like the Steam Whistle Brewery in Toronto.
For cars, visit the Auto Museum in Riga Latvia.
Sadly ER never tips - other than over from time to time.
Talking of museums, there's a Pete section in the Louvre.
Interesting. Is it dedicated to sluts or blow jobs ?
Well, the Louvre has a bit of both of those, but the Pete section is reserved for the living dead.
So he has moved on from Leicester?
Talking of classic cars, one more sarky comment from you and you can tow your old Banger on Saturday yourself.
In fact I wish to receive a written complement by you, on the subject of me, by tonight.
This could be interesting. Don't give in to blackmail. Are you a man, Glynsky? Squeak up !
Thanks for the encouragement SGM, but you were too late.
Since Pete called Mme. Glynskette an old banger she has been inconsolable and I have just returned from the solicitor's office. He will be receiving an official package (which will, of course, be bigger than his) in the morning.
Wow! This is getting exciting. Almost as good as Saturday morning pictures at the Odeon.
Sorry folks. I am leaving for the UK mid morning tomorrow and will not have chance to access the internet and therefore unable to write the intersting comments that you wait for.
Normal service will resume on Monday.
I shall return !!
