I’ve summoned the W123. It’s already about to pass Checkpoint Charlie. You have nowhere to run.

I remember being fixated by this news when it was happening, and I recall seeing footage where in traffic was a rare Wartburg 311 Kombi, which must have been a vintage car even for Ossis.

You know, I was enthralled by the end of the iron curtain, but I’ve never seen that (and the quality is so terrible, and the video’s quality is so terrible, I have no interest in watching it now).

I still want to import one! I have Aging Wheels to thank for that...

Also, fun fact, Lunenburg has a piece of the wall in it here! :P

I was just watching the old Smiley’s People (Alec Guinness eta al). Highly recommended if you have the time and attention span.
