BavariSpots

[DarrenW]

Well as anyone who saw my thread the other day may have guessed, I'm on my annual holiday in beautiful Bavaria. And as I do every other year here's a thread of some of the stuff I've spotted whilst out and about... Nothing earth-shattering as yet but hope you like them all the same!

Cheating with the first one as it was actually spotted up North in Mettlach rather than down here:

That's just perfect for "the treatment", I do like 'em!

Also spotted on the way down:


Blue BMW E30 3-Series by retromotoring, on Flickr


Hmm... I do like E30s though.

Here's another, there are quite a few of them about (along with Mercedes 190s but I don't have any pics of those):

No idea what happened to the doors:

Now this was more interesting:


Red Fiat 1107 "Nuova Campagnola" in Partenkirchen by retromotoring, on Flickr

I'd never seen or heard of those before! Excellent, I love seeing new things ;D

[DarrenW]

OOF!

one of my favourite motors in my fave colour for them, hidden out of the way - I very nearly walked right past it, the colour just grabbed the corner of my eye!

Tatty but fantastic colour:

And now a 4wd selection. 4x4s are popular here cos of all the winter snow, so in amongst all the modern stuff you do see a few of "our" type...

Fairly tidy:

Not tidy at all:

and a pair of Geländewagen:

More soon... I'm off to a classic car meet tomorrow night, it takes place every Thursday evening in Munich somewhere in amongst the BMW factory buildings, hopefully I shall return with some pics ;D

I would hazard a guess that the red fiat is some kind of panda 4x4 with a different body on top?

[DarrenW]

Not according to Wikipedia, it has a 132 engine and the Mk2 (that one) came out in 1974... It doesn't really say much more than that though, time to do some research ;D

Yep!

This garage:

www.flosgarage.de/

is two minutes walk from where I am sat now... A week Friday is their monthly cruise night, I'm going to take my camera down and spread the RR word to anyone that might understand my appalling German ;D

I love the fact that because of your photography skillzorz even really boring cars look immense.

One of these drives past me quite often while I'm waiting for the bus home from work, and I'm still yet to whip my cameraphone out in time...

Very pretty indeed.
