I'd say anyone who's in to cars anywhere in the world has heard of the 'Ring.
Claudia Schiffer instead of Marlene, then.

well, its your opinion so...
mine would go to Belgium, for similar enough reasons to your German ones. Inedible food, petrol stations that open at 1pm, and other such weirdnesses add to it though.

Michael Schumacher, Boris Becker.
And im still laughing at the racetrack comment, in England there is a set of stones arranged in a circle that no'one knows what the f*** they are for, still world famous landmark though

Sorry, the stipulation was celebrities who "light up" the planet.
Becker, Schumacher
Yeh i can see where you're coming from i mean in beckers case, winning six grand slams, an olympic gold and wimbledon at the age of seventeen (which by the way is still record), yeh i dont see how that can be making the world a bit brighter 
Schumacher of course should also be disregarded as after all hes ONLY won the world championship seven times.
how about beckenbauer? or is he not good enough either?

I know, I know. All that achieving, you ought to love them. But somehow the better they are, the less interesting they become.
Ask yourself this - why does no-one ever book a holiday to Germany?

Three members of my family have: I've gone over to the 'ring; my mothers gone... somewhere, I can't remember, for the christmas markets and my brother went over for, erm, something.
Yeah, you'll go there for a specific purpose for a day or two. A race meeting, a market, a "someting" - nothing WRONG with the country.
But when it comes to the "I' have two weeks off, where shall I spend it" - let's face it, it's not going to be Deutschland is it?

Personally no, cause I rarely spend more than a few days in one place when on holiday. If I was in Germany at the start of the two weeks its almost inevitable I'd end up somewhere in the balkans or scandinavian by the end of it due to an irresistible urge to drive places.... but I'm a very bad example!

Screw Austria though (apologies Austrian Gull, you are obviously one of the better ones) and Switzerland though.

Absolutely do not get the German hate. When it comes to arrogance they don't hold a candle to the Italians/French or even (dare I say it) us. I said it on the best country thread as well but to repeat...You can drink and smoke at football matches!

Belgians are nice people. I took my mother there just before she died. She was in a wheelchair and Belgium is the only country where the traffic always stopped to let me push her across the road, I will never forget that. here chocolate is pretty good too.

I watched England's 2-0 win in Scotland in a pub in Edinburgh too, as I was going out with an Edinburgh girl at the time, and had no trouble. Stayed behind with the locals and had a general footy chat, the only abuse I got was good-natured.
I have nothing but good memories of Edinburgh - I think those who have experienced otherwise have been unlucky - there are racist fuckwits in every major city in the world, I suspect.

For what it's worth on Germany, I was taken there many years ago as a kid, and never went back until the World Cup in 2006. And I was left afterwards wondering why I had never gone back. Everything about Cologne was superb. I think Germany just gets a bad press in this country as a holiday destination, and I'll certainly be returning soon.

Berlin...again.
Brandenburg gate, Olympic Stadium, Schloss whatever it is that they based the one at Disney on.
Michael Schumacher...probably the greatest racing driver ever.
...struggling a bit on the last category though!
