...wonder Walter Laimer and Gert Pichler, northern Italian buddies who once led Tuscan bike tours, offer four-day, all-inclusive guided Alfa tours that start around 32,000. "With cars today you're shut off from the surrounding environment," says Laimer. "You lose the real sense of driving." Their German-based company, Nostalgic, simply drops the key in the client's palm and hands over a map and guidebook. "There are people who have the money and the desire but not the knowledge or the time to own a classic car," notes Pichler. "Now a businessman in London gets...

...Leichsenring seems like a typical bürger from small-town Germany. He lives with his wife and child in the tiny village of Königstein in the former East German state of Saxony, where he owns three driving schools and is a member of the town council. Leichsenring, 37, was celebrating last week after being elected to Saxony's state parliament. But he's not your typical candidate. He's a leader of the National Democratic Party (NPD), an extreme-right-wing movement that the German government has tried unsuccessfully to ban because of its neo-Nazi leanings...
