Škoda Octavia, fun bit of kit. You see them here from time to time, I don't think they are very expensive though, as is the case with most cars made in former communist places.
I still want to go to the Czech Republic one day, to import a Tatra. But till that day I have a Volvo Amazon.
I guess it does in a way, but to build a streamlined car in 1921 with a Drag coefficient of only 0.28 is incredible (a modern Aston Martin Vanquish has a Drag coefficient 0.35). Besides that, nobody had even thought about streamlining cars back then, and it wasn't a prototype either... it was...
I would like to share the 1921 "Rumpler Tropfenwagen" (Rumpler Dropcar) with W6 engine.
I am baffled by this beauty everytime I look at the pictures, only 100 were made, most were used as taxis... I guess the styling was too extreme for 1921. Production stopped in 1925 because of the poor...
I picked up pipe smoking recently aswell, and I love the ritual of packing and lighting the pipe. Though packing the tobacco in just the right way is an art on it's own, I hope to get better at it as time goes by.
I have to re-lit very often, but I'm told that's just something every rookie...
I use the last name of Bertram Wilberforce "Bertie" Wooster, one of the main characters in the brilliant Jeeves & Wooster stories, written by P.G. Wodehouse.

Here's a picture of the fabric.
Sorry that it's out of focus slightly, my camera isn't that great (anymore).
I have found that they can easily be removed from a standard dress shirt, simply by opening the seam (there are special tools for that). Then wash it, and it's like there never was a pocket.
(I don't like the shirt pocket either, looks a bit scruffy to me somehow.)
I got this advise from a...
They are fun racers, and splendid daily drivers!
it used to be quite succesfull in the rally sport.
Shame you wrecked some though, but I guess there are still plenty about. :p
I've got a poster with "girl in green" from Tamara de Lempicka
Which I hope to replace with a reproduction of this wonderful piece.
Furthermore I have quite a lot of Escher posters, I've been crazy about his work since I was 10.
Good evening gentlemen.
Let me introduce myself, my name is 'Eise'. (it's a male name, I often find there is misconseption about that)
It's rather an unusual name, even in the Netherlands. (which is where I am from)
I'm 19 years old, and over the past few years I've grown more and more fond...
