Beetle graffiti

More from the ever-changing graffiti mile on the banks of the Saar. I would have liked to have captured all of the beetle's snout, but another centimetre backwards and I would have ended up in the middle of yesterday's picture.

Old grey classic

I have put up photos of other old cars I have found on the streets of Saarbrücken, including several models from France and Britain. It is time I put up a photo of the all time German classic, the Volkswagen Beetle. Production of the Beetle stopped in Germany in 1978, and these days they are very rare sight, except in the kitschy “new” form. Indeed, the car in the photo actually has French number plates. I wonder if there are still plenty of Beetles in Mexico and Brazil where production was not phased out until 2003.
