The OLDEST building here in New Zealand is only 193 years old would you believe.

We have a beautiful country but simply don't have the thousands of years of history other countries have. These big beautiful buildings are a real novelty for us when we travel to other countries.

Schloss Ahaus is a former residence of the prince-bishops of Münster in Ahaus.

The beginning of the 11th Century castle built by the noble Lord fell from Ahaus 1406 to the Prince-Bishop of Münster. On behalf of the Prince Bishop Friedrich Christian von Plettenberg-Lenhausen was there from 1688 to 1695 according to the plans of a hunting lodge built by Ambrose Oelde. After the destruction of the Seven Years War from 1765 to 1767 Johann Conrad Schlaun added in the front garden with a central projection of large staircase.

By the kingdom in 1803, the castle passed to the princes and Salm-Salm-Salm Kyrburg. As regent in the Principality of Salm Prince Maurice resided here zu Salm-Kyrburg. After she had initially hired in 1819, acquired the Dutch tobacco manufacturing family Oldenkott Castle 1829th

In March 1945, the castle was destroyed in a bombing raid and burned out completely. After the war, the county bought the ruin Ahaus. The reconstruction of the castle was Eugen Senge boards the task of equipping the castle with artwork. The park was transferred to the ownership of Ahaus, today it is the location of the Technical Academy Ahaus. Moreover, the castle houses the gatehouse and school museum.

The KKS exhaust is the right mix of sportiness and discreet reserve. Powerful sound at idle, not too loud at full load.

But one must be careful that no cat sleeps at night in there. Outer diameter 125mm.

never been a fan of grey colors on a car, but on your GT86 it just looks awsome. Really good looking car, like the lowered look
