Well the Munich Turkis made it to a BBC piece about German cars.
Yet the most fascinating part is that first motor car trip ever was made in 1886 by Berta Benz. She took off without the husband knowledge to visit her mother! 194km roundtrip.
- Hey Berta, how come the fuel tank shows 1/4 today, asked Carl the next morning.
- Probably a bad ground on the sender honey, replied Berta. Don Lawrence can fix that

How Germany became the country of cars
In 1888, Bertha Benz set out to prove that her husband Carl’s Motorwagen was safe and ready to sell. Fast forward, and Germany is still the country of premium cars and car culture.
