So, Julian Assange escapes in a Citroën DS and a pair of hot pants in May this year. Looking forward to it.

I’m pretty sure my aunt used to drive the Citroen from the May photo. Probably not the very self-same one, but I suppose you never can tell…

Bizarre? Not at all: it’s just German hipsters.

On the contrary, i find this return to an older aesthetic quite cool. Much cooler than simply reprinting some old photos.
I wouldn’t mind if modern ads began to resemble those from the seventies… I find their aesthetic and basic marketing approach much more endearing than the bland manipulative soul-sucking dross we tend to get nowadays.

I thought this was vintage 70′s photos, but it’s modern photos/models with old cars. Not half as cool.

“[S]aid to be a big hit in Germany…”

So was Knight Rider. Take from that what you will.
