OK, I admit it: This is a highly manipulative headline - one that I would believe works similar to how most headlines of today's media work: You suggest one thing of common and high interest, while the rest of the story talks about something entirely different. Did it work? ;-)
Now, on to the real content: My mother just called, letting me know that by perusing the local newspaper this morning she uttered a high-pitched shriek when coming across this image. It depicts my dad back in 1965, when the two of them went on a vacation on the only family vehicle at the time, a then-famous brand of scooters called Heinkel (the same company also produced air-craft engines and you can see a typical model to the left; Dad's is a bright red one, however. He meticulously restaurated two more, a plain white and a purple one; they're all in good condition and driven every now and then, back at the family house in Krumbach). The reason for him appearing here is because the editor called him asking for a photo of that time as they are covering South Tyrolia in a special article, re-introducing it as a tourist destination that is recently seeing anewed popularity.
I will try to get a higher-rez picture from them, so the details are better visible. Oh: I was about nine months when that picture was taken and I believe it was taken by my Mom, as she was the pillion rider on that trip.
Time flies, Mom, Dad, right?

In 1965, however, our family was way beyond that: we drove a Fiat 600! ;-)
