I don't need no stinkin' badges!

Ok, I received a set of BMW Motorsport International badges with the M-tech side skirts...whatever......... from ClubSport. I installed the M-tech badges, so I don't need these.

I like trivia, so who ever can answer these questions gets them for free.

I have an extensive German camera collection of both Rolleiflex and Minox cameras. Just last week, I aquired the scarcest model Minox there is. It's the original version, and it was NOT made in Germany.

Who ever can tell me:
Model Name
City of Origin
Country of Origin


Gets the badges.

Ok I think I may have it.

The Model Name is the Minox Riga.
It was made in the city Riga
It was made in the country of Latvia.

[L84THSKY]

Damn, I made that too easy.

PM me your address.

So what did you do, just type in Minox in Google?

I typed it in google about 10 different ways. I eventually found the info athttp://www.minox.org/minoxencyclopedia/r/rigacamera.html

Those cameras are awesome. I think I want one of them now.

All the most famous spies during the cold war used these cameras. Amazing how the company was doing business with two giant war machines each trying to swallow them up.

Russia invaded their country in 1940, then Hitler invaded in 1941. Both countries wanted possesion of this valuable spy apparatice.

Amazing how the company was doing business with two giant war machines each trying to swallow them up.If you can find one, a Sony DSC-U20, -U30 or -U40, with an automatic macro mode and up to ASA320-equivalent film speed, is a nice digital substitute. Its small size and offset lens also allow some interesting shots. I have used my DSC-U30 to take pictures inside the trunk lid. There is some info on the camera at http://www.dcviews.com/_sony/u30.htm

On the side trim piece, on the sport models it's thicker than the others so they just fit there:
