Interesting pics Ingo, thanks for sharing.

Sam Glover has a big collection of unusual (here) cars. Particularly Russian or Eastern European ones.

I think it could be a 1965+ Bond Minicar Mark G 250 Tourer. http://bondcars.net/Minicar20G.htm , http://imcdb.org/vehicle_258218-Bond-Minicar-Mark-G-1965.html .

You could probably create something similar on your Reliant by 15 minutes work with a nail-file and some black bin bags ...

Of course, it is a timeless classic in mint coniditon

Here is a small selection of my photos of the WTCC race at Nürburgring. This corner is the so called Müllenbachschleife (which can be set as a separate track btw). I have tons of other photos as i always try to photograph the entire field for german wikipedia. Especially on WTCC and ETCC. You can also see the 24 Hour Race and Drift Taxi in action.







I was testing here with editing. Made the picture slightly darker and gave it more saturation:

I went to this show on Sunday and sunburnt my neck (we've been in the midst of unscotland-like warmth in recent days) admiring the classics there contained.


Chinese TF:




Not sure if there was officially a 1600i Convertible?


Marina with one of those Imp things in the background:




Rootescrap I:



Supposedly one of 3 Fabric-bodied Lea-Francis W-Types left in existence, unrestored too:



This Lagonda was probably my favourite car at the show:



RHD P7 Ford seems curious?


On another forum, I lamented the colour of this but someone corrected me that it's an original Jensen colour called pistachio green. It's the FF (4WD one) too:




An acceptable Mini:



Pather Rio



JXC = BMC head office plates?


Elvis:


This sounded superb, Rover V8 in fine voice:



Badge on the side said this had a 5.0 V8 in place of the usual Ford motor:


Rootescrap II:


Best looking Lotus ever?





Rootescrap III (with an aerial that could probably receive signals from space) Rootescrap IV in the background:


American cars: The dream...

... The Reality:




For antp, DeLorean spoils view of another DeLorean:






A Vauxhall-Holden apparently:



For the SAAB fans:








Part of the event was celebrating 100 years of BMW. I only took a picture of this one:


Some new cars were on display:


For the BTCC fans. John Cleland runs the local Volvo and Jaguar dealers:


There was also the Project 7 or whatever it's called:


And to finish some car park gems:

Now the masses of yesterday Bockhorn-impressions. I try to place comments to them, but due the amount it's maybe not every time possible.

I made the pics just for you, for showing, what you have missed. I would have been much more relaxing for me, if I would have done, what these two gentlemen did:




Bockhorn is so fascinating due the nice, friendly and freaky people there, but also for sceneries like this:




As Bockhorn is located not far away from Bremen, there are always a lot of Borgward-cars, Lloyd, Hansa, etc. There are still a lot of "local patriots" as the say in German, fans for this brand.
Actually I don't any any other event except Borgward-meeting, where you can spot that many vehicles of this brand.
I took photos of the rare models, not of the plenty of Isabellas.







two on one pic!

Extreme positions from the 1950ies West Germany:




















A regular visitor every year. The owner is -fortunately- very picky with the old registration and the old plate:




Yes, there appear dream cars, too:





















Exceptionally not converted to a Camper - still original in every detail, even about the interior and the medical material.







selfmade conversion:

two on one pic:




small and big on one pic I:




small and big on one pic II:








An extremely pickily restored original 1946-car, well known in the VW-fanscene since years:






Completely selfmade with an motorbike-engine. I've talked with the owner -and maker- last year:







In Bockhorn not many DDR- or other COMECON-made cars appears. But this usual. About the classic car hobby Germany is still divided, even after 25 years. For seeing Eastern Block-vehicles, you have to visit events in the former DDR.















Sovietish cast iron besides US-American cast iron:




British cast iron:






Swedish cast iron:





West German cast iron:





British ...err... cast plastic:




More British plastic:






West German plastic:






French plastic with a non over-sophisticated interior:









DDR-plastic and US-plastic side by side - in Bockhorn you can see that, where else?










More plastic:








A plenty of plastic on the car:




and more masses of impressions:

Ca.15 years ago the owner of this Glas 1700 TS and me made -of course on the way to Bockhorn- an Autobahn-race - I won.
Due 5 hp more. And due a slightly better aerodynamic.






More Glas:








and others:








A special edition, correct?
































The USA-unique 1976 912E, only a bot more than 2.000 cars made, my brother-in-law had one, too:







Original trim of the "Feldjäger", the West German Military Police:




Original trim of the West German disaster management:

















"Nordwestdeutsche Fahrzeugbau GmbH"

extreme rare!






Pure 80ies:













Sticker: "Connaisseurs drive Datsun"



























I couldn't see, what it was:






























































































My question:
"Better than the boring TV-programme?"
"Yup!"












Of course Mr.Felix Wankel has participated, too:











Umm... well... at such a big event it's not avoidable, that some Rootes-crap creeps in it...



The former fire truck behind is fro a natural healer. The slogan says "Fit by bloodsucker-therapy!"

















For every Passat- and Audi 80-driver a well known problem already in the 70ies: bursting dashboards:

























Hmmm...



























Made by Westfalia:







A special edition or boy racer style?






















Bockhorn-tradition: the Heinkel-only-parking in front of the tent:




















Strange, this Aston Martin-driver parked his car in the most hidden area of the ground, that noone could notice it:





The typical Bockhorn-traffic - not only on the ground, also in the villages around. Usually there is even a classic car queue on the Autobahn A29 a few km away






Something really outstanding! Is there anyone, who ever saw two of these one one pic?










but it became more outstanding! On the other parking there was number three!!!

Thanks Ingo and Sandie for sharing. That Bockhorn show looked huge. I like that large variety of cars on display. It's always nice to see older "everyday" cars. A lot of the shows in the US seem like they only attract muscle cars, Corvettes, hot rods and '57 Chevys. They're great cars, but it gets repetitive to see row after row filled with them. Looks like it was a great day!

When posting a lot of pics, maybe better split posts by putting e.g. 5 or 10 pics per post at most, or else pages become huge and it is more difficult to quote a specific pic url if needed

I always deliberately pack the pics in as few as possible postings, to avoid to have them on different pages.

I'm always extremely pissed, when an idiot wastes pages, because he clutters the threads full with a plenty of pointless postings (one pic, one posting, such bullshit), with the result, that much more interesting photos disappear on previous pages.

When I see that the next time, I think to slam the more interesting postings via quoting or copying on the actual page.

Well on slow unreliable wifi such pages with so many pics are long to load
(and often when coming back to see a few new comments, all pics have to be reloaded)

Thanks to both for your respective Rootes-jewels. The maroon convertible (photo 4,571 in ingo's batch) next to the black Sunbeam Tiger is probably a Ginetta G11 (12 made).

More pics of it the the homepage of the club:

@ ingo:
Seriously, 199 pictures in a single post? This time you win the prize of the most boring and most unreadable message...
But even your "standard" endless posts with dozens of pictures are usually just a kind of pain in the ass (I try to use your way of speaking ): they take ages to load, and one needs to scroll during minutes when wanting to retrieve a particular picture. Trying to share "outside" (in an e-mail or in another forum) a specific picture of one of them is also impossible, as linking to the whole post is useless: "Hey, look at that amazing car. Scroll down till the 85th picture in this post! Or is it the 79th one?".
Unless you want to be the only one to enjoy your pictures (and if so, why bother publishing them here?), why not following antp's proposal to split your messages? It would indeed certainly be nice for most of us if you tried to use what is also called the Netiquette, i.e. the courtesy conventions of Internet users. Among other things, it emphasizes on techniques used to minimize the effort required to read a post or a thread...

This said,

A 1987-90 Teilhol Tangara, based on the 2CV6. All details seem to match with a "phase 2" (fr), but I don't know when the change occured.
It's weird to see it with Citroën logos, as the "Double Chevron" make never sold nor promoted (fr) this car, it just provided components.


Correct. As written on it, a GS Basalte (fr): based on the GS Club and sold in April 1978 (1,800 cars for France, 3,200 for export).


If I'm not mistaken, the lack of rear spoiler indicates a 1978-82 "simple" 928. But there was apparently no European special edition (nl) for the standard 928.

^ Harsh words, and I don't agree with them all. But I do agree with the plea to break postings down into digestible chunks - maybe 10-15 pictures per chunk. And/or maybe number them as you put them in so they can be pulled out more easily for responses.

UK got the Basalte edition in April 78 as pictured. Based on GS X2 - no numbers known. Agree the 928 is early - also for the wheels - but slightly confusing mix of side moulding without rear spoiler. Paintwork is one-off - maybe they removed the spoiler so it didn't get in the way and it's actually an early 928 S??

I always sort things out and only post a small amount of pictures. Noone wants to look through 199 pictures (i didnt count but i trust eLMeR on that one). Most people will zip through it and look for the cars that they personally like or that they find interesting.

This kind of picture useage is what i do because when i posted hundreds of pictures on Facebook there were only little comments. Even here when i posted only some pictures from Nürburgring, noone answered on that post. I am the kind of guy who wants a little review and i am disappointed if i dont get any.

Not that i want to say, you HAVE to comment. But no comments means that my pictures are uninteresting and it makes me feel wrong.

We're probably all like that - we post because we hope other people will find it interesting enough to comment. And some people target their stuff so - for instance - they photo and post Rootes-jewels for me, which is great. but the plea remains for people to arrange their contributions into groups/batches/formats etc which are digestible, otherwise their efforts are swamped and nearly impossible to work with.

Went to the start of the Baltic Circle Rally with my father today - he wanted to say goodbye to his co-workers, who were participating (red VW T4, number #150)
The cars must cost no more than €25,000, and have to be at least twenty years old; even a Mercedes W210 and a tacky looking Audi A8 were participating.

As said above, I tried to use ingo's terminology. But I'm not sure that the Gallic poetry could ever equal the Teutonic one


Infos I found are contradictory about the basis. When indicated, most sites say GS Club, but none agree on the engine: 1220 cm³ and 60 hp of the Club here (fr), 1220 cm³ without engine power here (fr), 1299 cm³ and 65 hp in the link I gave in the previous comment. This latter site claims several trustworthy sources, but that would mean that the Basalte would have had the engine of the X3 some months before the latter was unveiled.
An X2 engine would be a 1220 cm³ with 64 hp, in 1978 (since the 1976 MY, in fact - fr), but I didn't find any corporate document about the technical specs of the Basalte. The French ad says "7 CV" (tax horsepower), which doesn't help as both engines belong to that administrative category, whatever the real engine power they provide...


Citroenet.org.uk shows both French and German ads: 1,500 cars were send to Germany, but nothing is said about UK sales. 3,200 cars were made for export, so somewhere between a dozen to 1,700?

Your'e correct: the amount of pics is disturbing, especially on mobile appliances - but even there the pics a loading in an acceptable time.

For me the cluttering of thread-space in the Mark99-style with, three, four or even more postings, where only one -mostly dull- car is visible, is a real, not comparable with your petitesse, pain in the ass.

The "most boring message" is either an impudence and also bullshit - it may sound boastful, but was there ever a posting before with a content of such a lot of real outstanding vehicles (which are even all running!)? I don't think so.






No problem, Purzel Your pics are interesting, but about a topic, not everyone is interesested in or has some profunde knowledge.
I cannot say anything about that, as the cars are far too new and too sporty for may car-horizon.

A Good job anyways

Hopefully there will be photos of that interesting event!

I always try a professional approach on pictures, but the camera of my dad is not the best. The white balance is not working correctly and the color saturation is worse. But the good thing is that the camera still manages to save the correct photo data so i can do much in gimp to improve pictures.

Once i borrowed the camera from my brother and it was so outstanding that Wikipedia frequently uses my motorsports photography. Here is one example:
