Objekte der Sehnsucht...

Images ... in memory of times when cars - just like women - still had "faces", style, expression and personality.
Times when car designers still showed enthusiasm and dedication, and women, undoubtedly the masterpieces of nature,
knew (and were allowed) to complement this man-made grace, elegance and passion with their femininity
to symbolize all that beguiles men's hearts.
Without women, cars would not be what they are... or once were, that is.

The older ones among us will understand. The young... well, it does not matter anyway.
In those days, dear youngsters, the automobile owner's manual told you how to adjust the valve lash.
Today, it warns you not to drink the contents of the car battery.
Any more questions?
