The tale of the 800 Volkswagens

A local authority in Florida is forcing the closure of a scrapyard loaded up with 800 Volkswagens.  Tragically over 400 are said to have been crushed already according to this article.  Check out the video for a glimpse of the treasure...

1973 Audi Concept

This is a little beauty, the Audi Asso di Picche (it's Italian for Ace of Spades) by Giugiaro.  I don't know about you but I can see more than a little bit of Scirocco in there, not to mention Delorean which was also penned by Giugiaro.  Loads of background here if you're interested.

While I'm at it...

Not a Volkswagen in sight..

Okay, so it might not have anything to do with Volkswagens but this guy clearly knows his Mercedes Benz shizzle and he's a damn good photographer too.

If you happen to live in LA and you've got a big wedge of cash, or if you just like big old Benz's have a look at http://mercedesmotoring.com/





PS Why does US spec always look cooler to my European eyes?
