Money and cars have always been a combination that has potential. This is proven by the experiences of Pep Guardiola, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Oskar Maria Graf
It is reported from Zirndorf in Central Franconia that a young man got into a café and took a cash box and a car key with him. The thief was overwhelmed with the operation of the car and crashed into a house wall. At least he brought the car key back and threw the cash box unseen into a garbage can.
The combination of money and a car has always been complicated. Ex-Bayern coach Pep Guardiola also plays in the Zirndorfer thief league in terms of driving technology. Since training the Manchester City millionaires, he is said to have wrecked four cars. Damage amount: 600,000 euros. The misery of footballers is completed by Guardiola’s former boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. The podcast “Phrasenmöpf” advertises diligently with the hint that Rummenigge reveals in a conversation there why his wife no longer lets him behind the wheel.
It is no wonder then that the Autoland Bavaria occupies a top position in the damage balance of the German insurance industry. Against this background, a local newspaper moaned years ago that the people of Passau should rather shut up instead of blaspheming about FRG cars (Freyung-Grafenau), also known as the “Free Racing Community”: The second worst drivers in Bavaria at that time had the license plate PA (Passau ). As early as 1900, local drivers were spreading fear and horror. As Oskar Maria Graf writes, they rolled through the towns like rumbling monsters, throwing up thick clouds of dust and making everyone nervous. It’s good that the cars weren’t able to race at the time.
Some remember the earlier excursion traffic on the Tegernsee and the cars that drove backwards up the mountains because they couldn’t make it in forward gear. In turn, the craftsman Edi S. from the Erdinger Holzland would not have managed. The reverse gear of his Lloyd-LP-600 was permanently on strike. Unfortunately, he parked the vehicle so close to the inn that he couldn’t drive away due to the lack of reverse gear. So his buddies always had to turn the car by hand so that he could start his way home with the four-stroke engine roaring.
