Maybach, and La Chapelle.


This is the press release from Maybach themselves.



“The renowned American photographer has chosen to collaborate with style icon Daphne Guinness to portray both vehicles in his signature fashion. With creative freedom entrusted to LaChapelle by Maybach, he created photos that whisk the observer to a world filled with luxurious extravagance that features LaChapelle’s celebrated surreal tableaux.”


Must say this does make looking at car’s all the more interesting, considering someone just popped their cork.     More after the jump.

1962 Ferrari 400.


Just in case you still have some change lying around. About 1-5Million – 2.4 Million Euro’s. This little monster is for sale in Monaco. It is a one of a kind, ( it better be) restored to it’s former glory. I thought there was a financial crisis.


So I don’t need to feel guilty looking at that Hermes hand bag.

Rolls-Royce Ghost ‘Numero Uno’


You know I do not have a clue about car’s so you will have to bear with me. Anyway if you want to read about the technical details then you are going do that your self. Because even if I wrote them I wouldn’t have a clue.


Any how look at this thing, maybe it is the British coming out in me but, this beast just lack’s the superficial elegance of a Roll’s. Hello, you people that made this.


A Roll’s was never made for the autobahn, rather for a quaint little Mapp and Lucia countryside town, where one drives, well around………., the corner.


The beast!  €450,000. Right.

stadtsalon N°25 – Parkplatz Sharing



liebe Städterinnen und Städter,

bb22 lädt ein:


Am kommenden Mittwoch, 18.11.2009, 19.30 Uhr laden wir zum stadtsalon n° 25 im Quartiersbüro Ideenlabor in der Moselstraße 6a ein.


- Park Plätze versus Car Sharing -


welche Parkräume lassen sich für das neue Mobilitätsangebot öffnen? Reduzieren bevorzugte Carsharingplätze im Stadtraum den Platzbedarf für den motorisierten Individualverkehr, und mit wem könnten solche Strategien im Bahnhofsviertel umgesetzt werden?

Auction

Even though I have not been present for many, well none in fact.( I don’t think e bay counts) I have always imagined that at an auction, the room would be bursting at the seems with objects that I could only pray,borrow beg, steal, in order to have intimate company with an array of things that would be up for grabs, for want of a better word.This article at James Spotting,caught my ever wondering eye.A 1969 Mercedes–Benz 600 Pullman Landaule. Well after I googled it just to know what the hell it was, this was the picture that came at an instant.

No no no no no( I was having a Luther Vandross moment there). They were bidding on this!

Now I do like a run down interior, however unless I am stepping out of that thing in a Dolce and Gabbana Couture dress, I shall have to pass.However I was the last person on their minds. The highest bidder left with this diva breakdown after shelling out a cool 308,000 POUND’S.

See that couture dress does not seem so expensive now.

Those that know me know that I do not have a clue about car’s. As I do not have a driver’s license. Any way this lovely little morsel caught my eye, I have no idea what the technical details mean. so I thought the story should be good enough. A link is provided for those that need to know more.


Estimates for the car one million Euro’s. Well you do get a matching watch! more after the jump.

Organisation? Es gibt keine! Critical Mass organisiert sich von selbst.
