What about the Einfahrt signs ?

You guys just want me to steal half the signs in Germany don't you? - That one is classic, next time I go to McD's I gotta ask if they've been to THAT one!!!

Some highly original people have no doubt stood next to these signs bent over as if to do a massive fart. Same types that you see in Pisa, Italy posing as if they're pushing the leaning tower over. Oh those wags, they're so original

this is why cars should be labelled with their own languages. i mean, if a car in taiwan or china ia made, i will expect a lot of spelling errors. It's better to write in chinese.

It's what we all aim for isn't it. Make a post like this and watch it go to 4 pages instead of fading away quietly

I'm going to be out and about tomorrow. I'll be on the lookout for einfahrt/ausfahrt photo opportunities

Well in Canada, metalic is spelled with two L's. Metallic for me is the right way to spell it.

It still gave me a few laughs when I first saw it.
I would wager your post then gave a lot of people a few laughs - but not for the reason which made you write the post.
