Das Auto: The Germans, Their Cars And Us
This is a good BBC documentary on why Germany is the economic powerhouse it is today. Good labor practices, second-to-none engineering and exemplary efficiency.
Documentary examining Germany’s economic power and the automobile industry at the heart of it. Across the world, the badges of Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Mercedes inspire immediate awe. Even in Britain, where memories of Second World War run deep, we can’t resist the appeal of a German car. By contrast, our own industry is a shadow of its former self. Historian Dominic Sandbrook asks what it is we got wrong, and what the Germans got so right.

Instead of tinkering around the house during his retirement like most, Momir Bojic decided to make his dream car—the astonishing wooden car design was a labor of love that took the 71-year old Bosnian two years to put together. However, unlike most DIY cars, the VW isn’t made from scrap metal and uses over 50,000 pieces of wooden oak that are assembled like miniature rounded shingles that gives the car an interesting texture. From a distance, the car has a brownish coloring and you’d probably not even know that this car has a wooden exterior.
As illustrated in pictures, the vehicle is fully drivable and the retiree, his car, as well as his matching wooden hat get plenty of attention on the roads.

British teacher Sarah Brooks and her fiance were on a safari trip and were driving behind the elephant when the animal turned around and charged at their car. They managed to survive the attack but the elephant had to be put down. The whole thing was filmed by tourists in the car behind.
