On to another ’80s German automotive icon through the medium of vintage cartoon characters, and this – a Mercedes-Benz Unimog U1700L ex-military truck turned into an off-road camper by a man named...

We’ve gone all Toad-of-Toad-Hall today, courtesy of this be-goggled mini-figure and his marvellous 1931 Mercedes-Benz SSKL. Flickr’s SvenJ. owns the hands behind it, which he’s also used to stretch...
View ArticleOn the Wings of an… um, Seagull

Much like when your Mom sits at one end of a picnic bench and someone else has to quickly sit at the other so it doesn’t cartwheel across the park, cranes need a counterweight. Cue this excellent...
