Go back one year and this was how Tom Beck was promoted in his first season of Alarm für Cobra 11: die Autobahnpolizei. There were a few episodes I didn’t see, judging by this RTL promo.

I somehow think there are fewer big car stunts tonight on Alarm für Cobra 11: die Autobahnpolizei. At 8.15 p.m. on RTL. Looks more like an episode of Water Rats.

The makers of Alarm für Cobra 11: die Autobahnpolizei have a good relationship with many of the local car manufacturers. BMW débuted its X1 on the show, before it even appeared at the IAA (Frankfurt Motor Show), and since it is filmed in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Ford Köln is in the area. So, is this a Ford prototype? It looks like a stripped-down version of next year’s S-Max.

   This episode might have only aired this week, but it was probably filmed before the IAA, where the 2010 S-Max had its début.

From last Thursday’s Alarm für Cobra 11: die Autobahnpolizei. (Being outside Germany, this is about as much as one can see.)

This series of Alarm für Cobra 11 seems to have Semir and Ben going undercover more. Last week’s 200th episode took them on to water and off-road, rather than on the Autobahn, while here’s next week’s preview:

Looks like I finally got in to compose on Vox after an hour. I’ve tried proxy servers, and the site is slow through there, too.
   The latest series, starting next week, of Alarm für Cobra 11: die Autobahnpolizei looks really good. First up is a compilation of TV promos on RTL:

A miracle! Finally got in to Vox to write a post.
   Sure hope they get this glitch fixed ASAP.
   Some more pics to share—kind of lost the inspiration to write something cheeky since it took a few hours to get the ‘Compose’ box up on this site.

Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC rear

Trying to get a three-quarter view of 450 SLC

Not that I will get to see it down here in Neuseeland. Those lucky Germans.

This is unbelievable in a modern European country in 2009, from Time:

The election campaign in Germany took an ugly turn last week when the country’s far-right National Democratic Party (NPD) threatened a black member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party. Angolan-born Zeca Schall, who has German citizenship, was featured on CDU campaign posters in the eastern state of Thuringia, which is holding a regional election on Aug. 30. The posters went up on Aug. 1; 10 days later, the NPD attacked Schall on its website, calling him a “n_____ for the CDU party quota,” telling him to “go back home to Angola” and urging its members to deliver the message to him personally. In an act that had tones of a modern-day lynching, NPD supporters tried to march to Schall’s house in the central town of Hildburghausen, but they were stopped by police. Since Aug. 11, Schall has been under police protection.

   Mr Schall has lived in his town for 20 years and isn’t even running for office, but it hasn’t stopped some racists nutters from the threats.
   Time, meanwhile, has the following as a related article on its site:
