Bodensee-Klassik. #bklive #chromjuwelen #motorkultur (hier: Festspielhaus)

Bodensee-Klassik Some lovely classics here. My eyes went to the Triumphs and the Merc 300 SL Roadster in front. Look for a bit longer and you can spot the Gullwing. Beautiful.

Everybody at Volkswagen hated that car. It had the wrong shape. At the time, a true Volkswagen was round. This thing was boxy with harsh corners. It had the wrong engine. A true Volkswagen was air-cooled, this one was cooled with—ughh—water. The engine was in the wrong spot. A true Volkswagen ha[d] the engine in the rear, this one had it up front. It was designed by the wrong people. A true Volkswagen was designed by Volkswagen engineers. This one was engineered by people from Audi, that strange little Bavarian company Volkswagen had acquired from Mercedes a few years before.
Bertel Schmitt, on what Volkswagen really thought of the Golf I in the 1970s when he worked on its advertising account

Hopped-up small cars, driven on the limit are more fun in Real Life than supercars.
