There is a BMW hydrogen powered Mini parked in front of my appartment right now. I will try and see if I can't get into a conversation with the driver on the hydrogen topic. I have to get him at the...
Yes, I wasn't quite aware about my location until I saw a brand new series 5 BMW drive by my appartment block without black tape disguising it. That was way, way ahead before it was introduced at the...
Don't worry, it's just a question of a few years. It's all secret though. I live right near the BMW headquarters here in Munich. There have been many BMW MINI hydrogen cars around in my neighborhood...
Do we really need this car.? Next, they'll build a Porsche station wagon and call it the "family sports car". If I want a family car, I buy a Volvo station wagon. Period. If I want a fast family car,...
Quote manik: "The cayenne may have top of the line performance in it, but I just don't think Porsche ever should have created an SUV...............thats all I'm stating here."
I fully agree with...
But I still think it DOES look like a hearse, I mean because of the styling, even though it is too small for that. It's really interesting. I didn't know any such custom attempts were made ....
The ORIGINAL Mini, not the BMW remake. There is no steering wheel like the Mini's. Try to pass/to overtake a Mini in the mountains. You can do 90° turns at 80 km without hitting the brakes and not...
You are welcome! :)
That's right, Volkswagen had its best times when modesty was their main principle, just think of the Beetle or the original microbus! People in the whole world loved those cars although they were...
Yes, the car looks very functional, but the proportions are a little out of tune. It took a long time to accept designed cars as pieces of art at the head of Mercedes. That has changed a lot in the...
I used to like the 600 a lot but when I look at it today I can't help to say it's ugly. It looks like a hearse on a funeral procession, especially the black version.
And the overall design: who...
Sorry guys to have you left waiting so long for this information.
I promised someone on the thread to look up if any of the cars were built; none came into serial production (unfortunately :( )

Yeahh, I guess you just like to tease me a little today, that's Ok. :)
No, no, Henk, I took this whole text from ritzsite. I just marked this passage BOLD because it tells about the replica made by the Danish Erik Koux. That's what you wanted to know, didn't you.
...
The Replica was made by the Danish Bugattiist by the name of Erik Koux. By the way, the Atlantic Replica Volkswagen owns that has the licence plate "1939" in the front was built by "magic Koux" also!...
Hi, BugattiFan, I personally consider Bugattis pieces of Art. I guess you happily agree to that. For that reason my Bugatti pictures are much better organized than I thought. :)
I found a...

This should be the Williamson's Atlantic before it was restored to its original condition. the restauration report speaks of...
I just found out that this Maybach with Jaray-style body was meant to become a police car for the German Autobahn-Polizei. What a nice police car this would have made:
BZ-Archiv - BZ-Ferientipp:...
I found this on an american auction page. The auction was in the mid nineties for a Cisitalia convertible. They might be even more expensive nowadays.
Too bad the aeridynamica was only produced...

The Italian manufacturer of Cisitalia is relatively unknown to many Americans, although visitors...

No, I just saw your Mini picture below your user name but I didn't know you had experience with it. Is there a thread I didn't see. Well, I am new here. What do you mean (it was originally sold in...
No, I actually prefer smaller cars. I had a Mini right after the /8 and I LOVED it because it goes around the corners like...you can't describe it and it takes 6 or less ltres per 100 km. When I was...
Again, that was more of a joke! I didn't expect you to believe a student owns a hispano-suiza or maybe a Rolls-Royce. I wouldn't mind having one of the two, though.
My (our) car is a 1996 V40, one...
