    What's in your Garage..

    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.

    Thank you, I'm very contented with the suit. Has anyone got an idea on the age of it? 30's or 40's?

    favorite cars of the golden era

    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...

    favorite cars of the golden era

    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...

    Pipe newbie

    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...

    It was made in pre-communist Shanghai. Which means pre 1949, I don't know if it's 30's or 40's... maybe people in the lounge could tell me. Here's a picture of the fabric. Sorry that it's out of focus slightly, my camera isn't that great (anymore).

    Waistcoat Pockets: Without Purpose?

    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...

    What art is in your home?

    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.
