Have any of you ever seen these cars? Prototypes that were developed in the BMW factory in Eisenach after World War II, but were not allowed to be built.

I'm sorry, but this grille is just straight up ugly. Fortunately BMW didn't adopt it as their signature design.

No, that was used because the factory in Eisenach, in the Russian sector, was no longer allowed to use the BMW look and logo after losing a court case. Tomorrow I will publish 3 more of these prototypes.

Thanks for that explaination. I didn't know they were behind the curtain.

Oops!


Oh shit!!


Takes a crew of 21 to fire it.
1 guy to light the fuse.
20 to load the cannonball.


Females...
Enough said.

Yes, that is the area where I live, Thuringia. Liberated from April 1st to 16th, 1945 by the VIII, XII and XX Corps of the US Army under General Patton and handed over to the Russian Army after 100 days in exchange for the American sector of Berlin.

BMW-Wartburg 343 prototype, it looked really elegant.

Wartburg 100 prototype, still with 4-stroke engine but already without "BMW" in the name.

Wartburg Sport Coupe HS 313 with mid-engine.

And some girls.

I like the creative use of the mirrors, and the subjects of course.

Yes, I remember that too. There was a hairdresser in our village who cut children's hair after work. A stool was placed on a kitchen chair and the child sat on top of it. And then this half-blunt hair clipper started to pull out individual hairs. We children didn't like that very much.

Some things found in the earth.
Amethyst
Gold Nugget
Pitchblende (a form of the mineral uraninite occurring in brown or black masses and containing radium.)


These are not found in the earth, but only on it.
