        Without question an enduring design. Look at how may years they remained relatively unchanged.
        And who hasn't helped a buddy change the motor in one of these babies. 4 bolts and she's out.
        And hey who says the beetle is a dinosaur πŸ˜„

          Your right (attached is the Tatra 1933 V570) It seems Ferdinand Porsche was involved in the first designs as well.

            While we are on cars, we have to mention pinafarina.

                                      And after all that I need a drink. (Actually this beautiful object is a bottle. It is supposed to be fro Sora Ale. To me it looks like a rendering, but I can't find anything more out about it. Anyone heard of this?)

                                          I checked out your link and had a look. The shower/tub was designed by Ron Arad. He is an Architect who does a lot of product design apparently. A bit more of his work.
