AMG - Question about HQ

Just curious if you can visit AMG in Germany? I'm spending about 12 days in the Netherlands very soon and I thought I'd drive over if they had something for me to see/buy/test out. I'd love to go visit, see their cars, and perhaps pickup some AMG merchandise/upgrades at the company HQ.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I don't know if this is accurate, but it's a quote from FAQ on MB's website. You should also contact the manager of the dealership from which you purchased your car. Maybe there is a way that a dealership can arrange for a customer to have a tour. Also, I thought that I saw something on TV (Fifth Gear?) where there was a tour available to the public -- that may have been the Sindelfingen plant referenced below.

"Unfortunately, the AMG facility in Affalterbach is not set up for customer visits due to space limitations. Full factory tours of the Sindelfingen plant (where several AMG cars are assembled) are available and can be found on www.mbusa.com."

that'd be too bad if it weren't possible to visit AMG's facility. I'm planning a trip to Germany this fall, and entertained the idea that it would be kind of cool to visit/tour the AMG set-up and hopefully also have the opportunity to shake the hand of the fellow that built my engine. Appears that this won't be possible, though.
