That looks like Gibraltar in the background.  So, is it a Pegaso?

My curiosity is getting the better of me.  Klosterfrau is the manufacturer of (among other things) a tonic, or "patent remedy," called Melissengeist, right?  If it's what I think it is, the stuff is 80 percent alcohol: 160 proof.  I wonder if that's what the gentleman "christened" the truck with.  It also looks like he had to do a couple of "takes" before they got a suitable photo op.  I wonder if he'd had a coupla snorts of the tonic himself.   :drink:

The other thing I'm curious about is the pine boughs spread across the bumper.  I've seen several photos here of boughs or wreaths on cars...and I don't remember this from my time in Germany.  'Course I had a snort or two of just about anything I could get my hands on ::) and my memory ain't the greatest.  I also wonder about the couple in the background of the photo.  Think they had some of that Melissengeist in the glasses or maybe just a nice Riesling?   ;D

I better go back to work on the race car.

It´s an "aqua miralbilis", indeed, for external and internal use (adding water to it is highly recommended before drinking this stuff!).

Quite a bit of water, I should think.  Otherwise.... :faint:

Klosterfrau Melissengeist helps old people to get in a good mood – at least my grandma told me. As a kid I didn't understand...
