He was also imprisoned by the french when they invaded germany where he continued to draw his sketches till he got out.!!

for some odd reason that reminds me of my car......



who would build carbon seals namely because WHEN they blow it wont harm its surroundings as much... as to expect it WILL blow.. hmm... germans....



they got some crazy cars though, and sure as hell know how to make them handle! bmw's that is...
