Some German spots

[Wackeldackel]

Spotted this sporty little 300sl today in Potsdam. Same engine in it as my W124 saloon, this is half the size, some power to weight ratio that must be. Absolutely top notch, hardly a mark on it and very very nice to see out and about.

1980 450sel, parked at where I'm currently working. In my opinion one of the only cars that looks half reasonable with the chrome wheelarch trims. The guy driving it saw me perving and told me he bought it from an old lady dirt cheap, spent a small bit of money on it and now it has oldtimer status its worth pots of money, was a bit of a smug smarmy wanker but then again, if I were floating around in a motor like this I'd probably be a bit smug too.

Stranded Wartburg spotted last Saturday afternoon. Looked fairly tidy but had been dragged (see towrope under front bumper) to the bit of waste ground down the road from where I live. Went by on the Sunday and it was gone, hopefully assume repaired at the roadside.

Weißer benz, nicht für sale! He knows that one's worth keeping, I did tentatively tap him up about it but he said he wants that for when he's retired.

 

Will ask about the BMW bike, should be seeing the owner this week as he's buying some second hand streetlights from the site I'm currently working on.

Insert pics of sexy Wartburg

 

 

Ooh! A camping!

Ooh! A camping!

"Sexy" and "Wartburg" in the same sentence. I don't think the planners in Eisenach or Moscow ever intended for that to occur, but whatever floats your boat!

Ich werde fragen, mit Versand nach England oder willst du selber abholen???

(I will ask, do you want it sent back to England or will you pick it up yourself? )

ROADTRIP!!!!

[Wackeldackel]

Trabant 601S (S is for Sonderwunsch - the DDR equivalent of a GLS) kombi/estate version. Its on a normal numberplate instead of a H plate (Historic vehicle, Oldtimer) as its cheaper to tax as a normal vehicle due to the dinky 2 cylinder engine. Nicely restored and in regular use too.

Crusty justy, must be good for when the OMGSNOKAOS hits the fan

Another sexy Wartburg, taking photos got me shouted at by the old geezer, didn't like it when I complimented him on his choice of car, said it was nice to see and a rarity etc etc but he still seemed to think I was a car thief. One pic is better than none I suppose.

Pimp my ride? No, just wrap my rover.

 

 

[Wackeldackel]

This is probably what would happen if you left Corsaviour alone with a welder. I will come back either later this year or early next year to try and see this baby in action.

That has to be one of the most impressive stonechip tide mark I've ever seen

[Wackeldackel]

Time for a few new ones.

 

Well looked after 205 in "look" edition, fairly miserly looking inside and still with original dealer stickers and number plate frame, from a Peugeot & Talbot dealer in Berlin, apologies for potato camera skills.

 

 

[Wackeldackel]

Amazon? Correct me somebody please.

 

[Wackeldackel]

Not exactly the best weather for a soft top mercedes, but still nice, with personalised number plates too

 

[Wackeldackel]

From the days when audis were not twinkly fairy light mingeflap shitboxes driven by any tom, dick and harry with a PCP leasing contract.

 

 

[Wackeldackel]

Daily driver by the looks of it, lots of pay and display tickets, cig ash on the seats. I'm no citroen expert and I can't determine age going on reg number, anybody on here any ideas how old this may be judging by trim, bumpers, lights etc?

 

 

 

 

I could see this on an A to C plate, mid 80s would be my guess...

Beautiful, patinated, sexy looking, sounding and smelling mercedes L series "kurzhauber" (short bonnet) truck. Produced for almost 40 years, max speed probably about 55mph, refinement and soundproofing, forget it. Massive, enormous, blue veined throbbing WANT.
