@rjluna2: found on an used K 70-windscreen 
On the http://www.veterama.de/en/home last week:
I've found out, that this traffic-light-maker doesn't exist any more. It was merged with http://www.bas-verkehr.de/ may years ago.
There are a plenty of more pics for this thread, but I have time-problems now. Let's see, if I'm able to show more today.
Because I took this pic for rjluna2:
Completely original from 1929!
Electric light was a costly extra option back then.
the owner, a nice old man told me the absolute unique story about this motorbike.
It is a "Bergmüller" from 1929 ("UT" stands for Untertürkheim, where it was manufactured) - the only known survivor!
And he is the second owner!!!
The bike was bought in 1929 by a 19-year-old guy brandnew with all available extra option (electric light, chrome etc.) and he kept it until his death, aged 100 years.

Nice, ingo 
I haven't had much time lately with capturing and posting to the Lighting Gallery web site. I'll try to do it tonight.
Speaking of Lighting Gallery web site, here is one for Antoine (antp) for Lego decorative uses that someone posted at melt lego lamp bowl

I have posted these pictures that you have shown here at 
@ Sandie and to all tortured weird design Renault cars aficionados:

Very nice, even though I think that colour is too dull for an Avantime. I read recently about an IT company in Britain who used to proudly have the 'world's largest fleet of Avantimes'. They were all that particular colour.

Considering the small number of units that were made, even having 2 of them could be seen as owning a large fleet
(I just realized that all Renault cars of that time make me think of Queen's song: "Fat Bottomed Girls"
)
Like last time, not a picture, but a scan of a 10-page file about the BMC ADO17, in French.
Anyone interested?

Not really made for IMCDb-fellows, but asked for them:
From a 1968-book (the photo is from 1966) about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiddensee
It made a journey across the whole DDR, because the "YY"-combination was from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zittau
The first registration was in the first half of 1963.
I try to find out more about the "made for DDR"-Minxes and Imps, but it's very hard to find anything. Even the DDR-car-experts haven't nearly nothing in their archives. And there's not any survivor known.
Shame on me, this is not a Minx.
It's a DAFje, I would say.
Anyways, this makes the pic not less valuable, as it's the first known (by me, the DAF-freaks and the Western-cars-in-the-DDR-conaisseurs) DAF with DDR-registration!

2 pictures for 2 of our German contributors.
Yesterday, a Renault 4 nearly ran me over. And in the next 10 minutes, I saw:
(Click...)
Another small contribution to the "there's still some Renault 4 in France" topic
(And still 2 "new" R4s met each week. My estimation was good)

Last Saturday, I went to a DIY store. I had then a thought for one of us, or more precisely for one of his preferred words:
Delete!

To the health of our Polish friends, who have beers with the name of a cars and trucks maker
Na zdrowie!
Found in a Eastern European grocery (but displaying "Russian" on the shop window) near my home. The seller didn't believe that Tatra could be the name of an automotive make and checked instantly on the Internet. The information circulation seems not that flowing, among Eastern countries

Here's a beer video that makes me angry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT-NS1AAS9E
American girl with a Rochefort 10.
American girl with a Rochefort 10.
The chick is incredible stupid
There is a bottle-opener at every pocket-knife - but it's not the part, she used... Rochefort 10 is one of the rather drinkable Belgian beers, although the classic strong Belgian beers have mostly a disturbing somehow-sweet aftertaste. German, Austrian or -yes- US-American strong beers does't have that. The best strong beer (at the time I have a phase, to prefer strong beers) is IMO the Danish "Carlsberg Elephant", as it didn't have no annoying aftertaste at all. In this minute I have an "Elephant"
In every case all these beers are better than the Belgian fruit-taste-beers, that's no question.
Rochefort is one of the strongest trappist beers you can buy, 11.3 alc, it's not surprising she doesn't like it, you have to learn how to drink it.
I used to have two a night, aftertaste or not, but to make the day after more pleasant I've switched to Omer, a simple pils beer like Stella, only done right.
Carlsberg Elephant is not that strong at 7.5 %. If you prefer the blonde beers, a Duvel will be better, or a Westmalle Tripel blond, or the Karmeliet...
But I'll try the Elephant if I see it.
Those specialty fruit beers nobody really drinks. Unless you mean Rodenbach, certainly an acquired taste but not bad. Very sour as it's riped in oak barrels.
