Sleek, chic and dangerous… the pioneering car banned by the Nazis

While the rest of the world was building boxy and upright wind-catching cars, one small Czech manufacturer threw out the design rulebook.

Spotted a couple rare and vintage Audis today! The red one is a V8.

@vwdasher those look like C4 cars. They, and the immediately prior C3 generation were peak Audi IMO, when the brand truly emerged from under the shadow of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. I drove the S4 4.2L just once, and it was a total blast. So surefooted it gave the impression of speed and stability at the same time.

One of these is a timeless design. The other one looks like a dumpster.

They need to find a way around this, because we have a lot of blocks of flats. And more being built.

We went to the Sale airshow in beautiful Gippsland yesterday, took some photos in between watching the show.

Found a model of this plane, in the military museum on site.

I watched what could be the ideal film, Drowning Mona, over the weekend. It's filled with Yugos of all things.

Volkswagen are working on a way to avoid collisions with wild life, I hope this works. Kangaroos are notorious for leaping straight at cars.

Just saw my first new Nissan Z car. What a nice homage to the original Z.

I love this and the Supra. Can't say I'd really like to own either of them, but they're so damn cool nonetheless.

@Dylan It's a really nice design, I am impressed. Nissan has captured the retro feel but modernised it, really well.
