The E9 2.5 CS is an interesting "catch". The series "last hurrah", so to speak-and a rather half-hearted effort by BMW to make the CS a bit more accessable to a broader public. The effort proved to be superfluous as the traditional customer demographic was not interested in a "Sparversion" of a luxury 2+2 coupe-and the E24 6 series presentation was imminent.

Great info, @Jimmy!

Today's sightings!

That XJ is in its natural state, its environment and its state, unpretentious

That green 2.5CS is so quintessentially 1970's. Love it.

"Colombos'" 403 cabriolet-an iconic car. And the first product of several collaborations between Peugeot and Pininfarina.

I reckon that the Puch G is an ex-Austrian army vehicle.

The small white car makes the 911 look bloated. Would it even be possible for car manufacturers to produce such a small car today that pass crash tests with flying colours?

Surely it is bigger than the Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto and so many others, so I think so, if someone were willing to produce something like that,..... (Mini coupe ....?)

Good point. The VW Up! is a tincan on wheels.

With regard to the Puch G: The inspection sticker indicates an ex-Swiss army vehicle.

Sightings from my two days in Nürnberg.

PART 2

Some abandoned cars ready for slaughter inside the unfinished Kongresshalle in Nürnberg. This was a Nazi structure which was built to seat 50,000 officials who would listen to big shots hold speeches.

PART 2

Are there any plans for that land/structure or is it going to just stay in a state of abandonment?

What a spooky and miserable sight.

What a spooky and miserable sight.

My thoughts as well. And a testimony to the state of many German cities under Merkel coalition federal governments and a more widespread obstruction of necessary investment on a local/regional level. A recent trip to Frankfurt/Main left me saddend to witness just how desolate certain sections of the city have become.

Excuse my getting "too political" here on Christians' entertaining and informative thread(s).

It's going to stay this way. It's essentially a historical landmark and also symbolizes a memorial.
