The Need For Speed - Red Bull Hangar 7
What do you do if you are the multi-millionaire Austrian owner of a high energy sports drink with a fetish for speed? Well, you build yourself a state-of-the-art hanger complex at Salsburg airport and fill it with everything that interests you. Dietrich Mateschitz' Hanger Seven complex is certainly very impressive. It has a great collection of aircraft and a fine restaurant. Here is a link to the website -http://www.hangar-7.com/

Lithuanian Vintage Car Rally
We happened to be in Vilnius in September 2009 and saw a classic car rally. The cars had travelled through the Baltics, Finland, Russia and Poland. The classic cars were primarily ex-Soviet machines and came from Germany, Russia, the Baltics and Scandinavia.
The rally progressed down Gedimino Prospekto, the main thoroughfare of Vilnius.
Gaz 21s and Moskvitches were of course very popular
The finish line!
