Germans are usually taught the Kings English, rather than American English. Hence, the British accent on native German speakers speaking American.

Yesterday, we went to an Oldtimer-Meet at the Dr. Benz Museum, which is only a few miles from our house, and saw the world's first car. They use a replica of the car (0.8 HP) to give fun rides for ladies, as the owner was Dr. Benz' wife back in the day. Our Fiero was parked among some of the nicest Mercs that are in our club. ;D

Nowadays most of the body sag is reserved for the owners. :P
I do not approve. Not at all. I'd like to go on record as being completely against this.
Put my vote in the "NO" catrgory.

This coming weekend, we will be participating (Club booth) at a nice castle / palace garden in a town called Schwetzingen (near Heidelberg), The International Concours d'Elegance - Classic Gala Schwetzingen:

The cool thing is, people, that enter their car in the show, must also dress in the corresponding attire, i.e. if you car is from the 30's, you MUST dress like in the 30's!
I'm sure it will be quite an event. 180 cars are expected to participate. :)
Here are some of the participants.

I am aware that not everybody shares my enthusiasm for classic cars, but how can you love a Fiero and not appreciate OLD cars? ;D
I'll post some of the highlighs / pictures.

Not everything from the '80's was great.

My friend's Stanley Steamer wound up in the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, CA. I don't think they require period clothes for that one.
We actually have a 1918 Stanley Steamer in our club that will also be participating:

As frugal as I am, I probably still have some clothes from the 80s in my closet! ;D
I know for sure I still have my Atlanta Hard Rock Cafe Letterman jacket! LOL
