Citroen’s genius act of sabotage against the Nazis in World War II

When the German army rolled into France in 1940, the boss of Citroen was never just going to just lie down and surrender

Ventje turns VW’s ID Buzz into a very charming e-camper

The eVentje custom buildout is a worthy all-electric successor to the iconic VW Camper.

I found the Italian car show photos! So I took these in November last year, a car show that was already hard at it and I got there towards the end of it. I had actually spent the morning at a truck show, and just thought I'd pop by this one and see if anyone was still there. As you can see from the gaps, they must have had a good turnout earlier in the day.

Still managed to find lots of lovely Italians to show you.

And here's the last of it. I am sure there were many more cars there I missed out on, hopefully I can get to this one earlier next time

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.

@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.
