“My love - I’m an old mobile, as it looks from the outside - sleepyhead - a matter of opinion. More understandable might be if I said: beloved chauffeur - I am an old mobile in which a divine prankster has swapped the size of the tank + reserve tank. Right? Oh well - and if it rattles in the boot or elsewhere: please drive it to the limits, madam! And that said, now a bit of empathy: my dear, I love your paws on my steering. I love you on my equipment - oh I love you all the way to my junkyard. No buckling up - there’s no windshield in it anyways + besides I’m an open convertible to you - so you will fly into the sweetest meadow when my remains fill with smoke behind you, or better: “smokify”. Hallelujah.” (Horst Janssen) (loose translation from German)
