New Watch

 #11 this is, so I have quite few. Most of my watches are pretty chep-o but I like ém never the less. I would love to have Rolex - and such - but they´re above my pay grade.

Ultra Classic

 Bought myself a new wristwatch, it´s #11 in my stable. It´s a real beauty, I love them articulating hands especially. Fossil, Citizen and even Rolex has made Mickey Mouse watches, among others. This reminds me not to take myself too serioius. Somewhere inside me there´s little boy yet still. And it ain´t going anywhere any time soon I reckon. It´s a good thing, right?

Gasoline Bandits (Kuhmon Mobilistit/Rompetori)

 This one for my backroad travelling friend Tom from the States. A small Car Show with Flea Market I visited during my holiday. Didn´t buy car but found myself a nice, working BMW wrist watch for mere10€.

Pair of mopeds. The red one seems to have modern day front end with suspension and disk brake. Other than that it looks like something you could buy in the 1950´s. Ibris is the brand of this one.

A Moped and a Motorcycle from East Germany. Ifa 125cc from 1953.

A tractor, Zetor 25A. Zetor has bit of a cult following in Finland. If I would ever buy a tractor it would be Zetor just like this. I don´t know what I would do with it but it would be nice recardless.

Ford Thunderbird, year unknown. 👆


Austin A70 Hereford 1952 made in England. 4 cylinders with 78 horse power.


Rambler 660. Am pretty sure it´s not cubic inches. Maybe it´s a model number.


Ford Mercury. Looks like a Pimp Ride from 1970´s Harlem. I can image a pimp riding this with a furcoat and 70´s porn groove on car stereo. Noicy and nasty.


Good ole Ford what ever and Dodge Custom 880. Surely that can´t be cubic inches. Ford is like brand new and the rat-esk Dodge is very nicely done. Not too much but just enougf.


Last but not least, Dodge Charher or Challenger from 1970´s.
Or so I think, maybe Tom can help me with this one.
This Drag Racing mobile had atleast 50cm (19.5inch) back wheels.
My t-shirt goes nicely with this post.

 What´s the time? It´s time for Peace (16:00:30) it seems. 💙🌻💛


This next song was released in You Tube at 24.02.2022.
I´d say their timing and lyrics are spine-chillingly current.

Scorpions - Peacemaker

We could turn another page
Keep the lions in the cage
The battlefield is bleeding red
Land of glory, monster dead
Into a world without frontiers
With no hate, regret or fears
We'll burn to ashes in a flash
If we don't change, we're gonna crash

Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Black horses ride
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Love's next in line

The evil monster is still alive
Even after all this time
It's been written in the stars
Forever love, stop the war
A ray of light is shining down
Tomorrow's 'round the corner now
Now the future's in your hands
Do you remember? Yes, we can

Peacemaker, peacemaker
Is there a man alive
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Under the sun
Peacemaker, peacemaker
There ain't no paradise
Peacemaker, peacemaker
For anyone

Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Black horses ride
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Love's next in line
It's next in line
