A Really Good Read

There are many things in the world that may make you wonder. Why there aren’t any libraries in Germany dedicated to automobiles, for example. Well, actually there is one. Though it’s reserved for members of the Drivers & Business Club Munich.

The library was compiled by author and journalist Jürgen Lewandowski.

And – this goes without saying – the library should also keep all the back issues of ramp in stock. Which is the case in Munich.
