Stupid nerd, currently in Germany. Antifa IT-Helpdesk.

A blue metallic Smart Roadster car. It's static and in a studio. Which has advantages. It can't rain there so it can't leak. And it is not moving so the noise can't kill you. Still fab, one of the best bad cars ever made.
A camouflaged Crossover car with German number plates issued in Böblingen.
An old Jaguar print advert showing various cats.
A white FIAT 500 Twinair with an oversized USB-C port which is where one would expect the exhaust.
Cover of the first album released by band "die Toten Hosen" on label Totenkopf.
A red E30 BMW car parked next to a grey G20 BMW car.
A white DS 9 sedan car.
A picture of a red Lancia Y10 Turbo, likely from a brochure ca. 1985.
The (in)famous Porsche Pascha interior.
A detail shot of the Congress Hall, part of the Nazi Party rally grounds in Nuremberg, Germany.
The glove box of a VW Golf mk 7 car. Under the disc player a rotary knob allows to regulate cooling of the glove box contents. It is definitely not a picture from my car as this glove box is very neat and tidy.
A detailed drawing of a smart roadster car.
A mobile speed camera seen on the side of the road near a small village in Normandy, France. The optical panel with the camera and the flash has been spray painted over and the text "fuck that" has been added underneath it.
A 1960es Morris Cooper S car painted red, with a white roof and lots of event stickers. It's small, old, the world around it is way to big and someone really needs to look at these knuckle joints (bet they lack fresh grease). There are parallels, which is why I chose this pic :-)
A screenshot from the (excellent) Chargeprice.app showing a map of parts of Düsseldorf, Germany and the many chargers installed already. The charge point locations group multiple AC outlets, the 20+ locations sum up to over 100 AC outlets.
A BMW E38 based Alpina in dark blue metallic. <3.

A poster of Gabriele Susanne Kerner, aka Nena, performing live with her band.
A 2005 Audi A2 front service flap. This was updated with fake indentations in order to meet customer expectations.
An badly made AI mockup of a "Ford Edsel" motor car.
A detailed digital drawing of the engine used in the Bugatti Chiron car.
A VW XL Sport concept car.

An Audi S3 8L in red, looking fairly unmolested.
A red Jaguar I-Pace with air suspension that sits lower to the ground due to a modification of it's suspension system.
A camouflaged electric cross over car with German plates issued in Böblingen. Not exactly striking, camo or not.
A Porsche 924 "Le Mans" pictured from the side with doors, bonnet and boot open. Not much to do with the 924 derivates that acutally raced at Le Mans, but still a cool classic today.
A blue BMW Z13 prototype seen from the front. The driver occupying the central driving seat seems to be enjoying himself and is leaning slightly into the (right hand) corner.
A BMW Z13 prototype car, in blue, pictured from the right rear.
A blue 3 door Ford Fiesta ST mk 8.
There is sufficient evidence that money can't buy taste. But should one ever need to compile a "top list", this green interior of a 15m Bugatti one-off car, full of horse kitsch and very unpleasantly green, is a strong top spot contender.
An Italian vintage ad for Palmolive brand shaving cream.
A green Porsche 911 registered in the UK, with the number plate OWN 3D. Spotted at a motorway rest stop in Belgium.
A silly meme. Picture of a crying cowboy with the text: With the rise of self driving cars, it's only a matter of time until there's a country song where the guy's truck leaves him.
A white Golf 7 GTI now with red, "Clubsport" inspired decals, pictured in front of an old house in Normandy, France.
A picture showing a NEXT keyboard, monitor and laser printer.
A BMW E30 3-Series 325i Touring in white. Had one in the family I luckily got to drive a lot. Totally smitten by the thing back then, but far out of reach.
A white VW mk 7.5. Golf GTI on VW "Belvedere" rims. I should stop here. Anything else will make the car worse. Which is why I'm absolutely not looking at what offset would work with spacers or if there are any lowering springs that don't ruin DCC...
A picture of an X6M. A SUV coupé designed to appeal to people that like really crass thngs. They succeded, as evidenced by the customers buying these.
A feke air intake on the front of a new Mercedes. Serves no purpose except from looking "agressive", adds weight and expense and as a result looks shite. But at least the ACC radar seemingly lodged in there will run cool.
A night time scene of a brightly lit ferris wheel near the river Rhine in Düsseldorf, Germany. Small drones are programmed to display a big bottle of Schlüssel Alt beer in the night sky. Paid promotion most likely, but it's also their 175th birthday this year. Prost!
A 3D printed cup holder insert designed for the Toyota GR Yaris. I holds the car key, a card and some coins. Source: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/gr-yaris-becherhalter-einsatz
A period brochure cover for classic FIAT 500 based ABARTH cars, showing pictures of a white 595 SS, 695 SS and 695 SS asseto corsa cars.
Interior view of a Renault Espace from 1984. It shows the two front and two back chairs facing each other. Between these chairs, a fith seat is forlded over and serves as a table.
A silver Audi A4 B6, looking quite perfect.
A picture of a white 2020 VW Golf 7 GTI parked next to a white Toyota GR Yaris in an underground car park.
A picture of a Bugatti Veyron "Pur Sang" Hypercar, in black carbon and chrome. On the one side it's an engineering marvel. On the other side, proof inhertance tax around the globe is just too low.
A Toyota GR Yaris key with a little Kei Truck key chain from onehellofatown.com
A rather lovely Ginetta G4R race car painted in green with a silver roof.
A Mercedes car corverd in a camouflage wrap, parked outside the Yacht Club in Bodman, Germany.
A graphic showing several Alpine cars and the logo of a German Alpine car club named "Le Turbot". Pretty flat things, some even have a turbo charger.
The trunk of a Toyota GR Yaris car, with random luggage more or less thrown in. Couple bottles of wine, a backpack, two carry on cases, straw hats, a book, a large shopping bag and two long deck chairs. It is really badly packed but there is plenty of room to spare.
A white VW Golf GTI car (badly) parked in front of an Aral car wash in Düsseldorf, Germany.
