That classic "Ovali" VW Bug blows my mind ! I've seen condition 2 examples approaching the high 30Ks' Euro level.

Amazing how these simple cars are gaining in value. Even a Citroen 2CV can sell for 15,000-20,000 Euros if its in great condition!

The 2CV and the Renault R4 are such a hoot to drive with their "Revolver-Schaltung".

"Ent(e)schleunigung" to the max.

So many amazing cars at cars and coffee today, including a couple of 66 vettes, two Pistas, ab MSO 570, a 575 Panamericana, GT40, a CLK Black and a 570C with its wing mirror side plate missing (McLaren quality) etc... enjoy.

@cawimmer430 keeps them coming, his great everyday carpictures. My personal highlights:
C126 in non metallic blue: such an honest car;
W123 seems to be in mint condition;
/8 and
not exactly the Bugatti, but the lady next to it, touching her hair like she is true model. Lovely shot, Christian

I'm old enough to recall when these "Ponton-Mercedes" could be had for peanuts ("...für einen Apfel und ein Ei." as the German saying goes). Back in my early-to-mid 1970s' student days, these cars were almost as popular with my fellow students as those ubiquitous old VW Käfer, VW Bullis and Citröen 2CVs'. Very high mileage, beaten-up and bruised but running and TÜV-inspected 15-20 year old examples could be had for under 1000 DM. Very cool and funky back then. The pinnacle of funkyness was the Universal estate version-preferably beaten-up de-commissioned ambulances or other former official vehicles.

Ahhh..the patinated Alfa-Romeo Tipo 105 Giulia GTA and the Ferrari 246 Dino GTS. Cars with which I have a personal sentimental connection.

Is that Markus Söder being chauffered to the Maximillianeum in that G12 760Li ?

I would have thought that he'd have recently switched to a Tesla S or an Audi eTron.

LMAO!!! True. The way he's butt-kissing the Greens is just.. zum Fremdschämen.




Spotted yesterday!

...ist aber, rein politisch betrachtet, gar nicht so unklug. Damit entzieht Söder und die CSU den Grünen ihre Inhaltsgrundlage. Zudem wird Nachhaltigkeit durch Forschung-und Technik pragmatisch gefördert (Söder)-und nicht durch blinder Aktionismus oder ökonomisch irrsinnige Verordnungen und Verbote (Hofreiter und Konsorten). Ich würde hinzufügen dass eine Abkehr von der "schwarzen Null" dringend vonnöten wäre. Investitionen sind essenziell.
