You guys kill me!! 
I know the leder hosen are very attractive, but let's focus on the Split and this mail box or what ever it is on the rear fender! 'Mother in law seat' is that the best you can come up with? You guys are disapointing me  |

maybe the owners are short... and use a roof rack a lot... and this is just a step up to access the roof rack... Not level though... so this may be a longshot.
I'm also digging the brake on that kid's scooter... it just pushes down on the tire top. This would be cool to fabricate on a fixed gear bike. |

This thread is one of my all time favorite. hate to repeat this picture but:
Forget the speedsters -- how about that huge pile of earlies in the background on the left? (Granted they are actually earlier than "earlies")

I don't know, but there are some pretty tough looking gangsta kids apparently guarding it. Don't make eye contact and just keep walking....

That was my first tought but where is the roof rack? If you use it that much that you install a step it seems no use to take the rack off. I guess it will always remain a mystery!
I had a blast with all you guys comments though  ! |

Well John, I did not expect that you wanna see me in leather but maybe we can meet in Hessisch and I dress myself just for you.

Yep, it's a DKW.
Check this one out with the DKW 'lastwagen' in the middle :
I also found this one of another Tempo Matador:
and another with Beetles and Matador:
No reposts I hope |

Those Shoes are too BIG for that KID. He has stolen them from the
box on the rear fender of the Split. I think the driver must have kept
his clean shoes there for when the weather is raining of snowing.
