Cars & Coffee? Autos und Bier...!!
« on: May 02, 2009, 07:00:25 PM »
Today we had our annual car event "Tour de Rü" (has taken place in my quarter). It was quite nice and after a couple of beers I made some pics with my cell phone.
So, apologizes for the partly bad quality.  :drink:

Right click on the pics reveals the name of each car. (as far as I knew them, e.g. the USAmerican 'Ford' remained a mystery to me...)
The VW Typ 147 Kleinlieferwagen was nicknamed 'Fridolin' and was originally built for German Federal Post.

Looks like a 1958 Ford Fairlane 500.

BTW, this picture post is featured on the entry page.  :)

I was mostly impressed by the sound of the Sunbeam Tiger! For such a tiny car it makes a brutal noise! (V8 289cui powerplant!)

You have a most interesting collection of smilies, sir!    ;D

While the Alfa Zagato is quite delicious, this Aston Martin really makes my pulse race. What a beautiful motorcar!   :faint:



I'd say your cell phone takes more than adequate photos. Nice job.   :thumbsup:

BTW, I did a Google search for Tour de Ru and came up with nothing useful, except some sites that were part of a Russian spy network or something.   :o  Where in the world are you located. Do not answer that if it will blow your cover.    :D
