Bundesautobahn 2

This is a quick grabshot of a rampaging Lorry on my return home from Hamm this evening..

My big motorway bugbear is when wagons block my way as they pull out and endeavour ever so slowly to overtake another wagon in front, but the whole affair takes several long, drawn out, agonizing, slow death minutes and in culmination they actually only gain a snivelling amount of petty tarmac territory.. Now, that's the loneliness and sadness of the long distance wagon driver and that is indeed what I call a small victory...

[English translation:] of Kraftwerk's 1974 extravaganza, Autobahn..

"We are driving on the Autobahn.

In front of us is a wide valley
The sun is shining with glittering rays

The driving strip is a grey track
White stripes, green edge

We are switching the radio on
From the speaker it sounds:

We are driving on the Autobahn."


AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaargh...!
