Journal FortKnox's Journal: Updated Contest 135
Never fails, I post up pictures, get SWARMED with a bunch more. Lots of single numbers became series. Some series were added to, and we have almost 10 more people (including some more females).
Reorganize lists, and get to it. I need to turn off journal messages, again (135 in last JE!).
Now don't give anything away people... wait a bit before giving hints or anything!
Once again, the link is marotti.com/slashdot2
Tet's "thumbnail page" is http://www.astradyne.co.uk/tet/slashdot/ but is invalid due to changes (some pictures were moved... single pics that turned series went from NN.jpg to NNa.jpg and NNb.jpg, etc...), so but him to update it if you want that thumbnail action!

Germany, I could recognise those from farther than that. Apart from that that is a mercedes which is german, then comes a Ford Focus which isn't very popular in the US, and the last car is most probably an Audi A4 break, which is again German. The Mercedes has a license plate that starts with "H" which indicates Hamburg if I recall correctly.

I won't say they aren't. Germans typically prefer VW, Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Focus is for low-income people.

You only see two cars clearly in the picture... Next to the focus (to the left) is another car. While I don't claim to know everything about cars, that one looks like an Audi A4 Break or a Passat Break. Both which are german. You just see a very small part of it, but that's enough for me.
