Who’s Peter Wolf? How the hell should I know? I found this image while cruising around these tubes after some Hooniverse Drunkcast fairly recently but this olelongrooffan can’t really remember where. However, I do challenge all of my fellow Hoons to find something in this image, whether vehicular or structural, that does not get you a bit excited. Bonus points for identifying all the vehicles in this image. Syrax…you must be blindfolded for this exercise.

No biography of the LongRoofian would be complete without [edited for length and adherence to subject matter] and your continued enjoyment of these ramblings is certainly welcome.

Ah, the garage that launched a thousand film noirs.
Peter Wolf from the J. Geils band? Couldn't be.
Nah. THAT Peter Wolf is probably living in Malibu with his 30-something third wife and drives a Prius.
The guy from J. Geils Band?
If it's not the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, i pretty much don't know band members….but based on the id I have for this image… benzin-buch traumgaragen I doubt the J. Geils Band is involved here…
There's a well-known Austrian producer by the name of Peter Wolf. He made a lot of '80s hits, including the dreaded "We Built This City" and "Everybody Have Fun Tonight". These might be his cars. Left to right:
Peugeot 203 Commerciale
Jaguar XK120 or XK140
Citroen Traction Avant
Mini Traveller
Can't tell you about the motorcycle or bicycle.
Everything done before I got a hold of my blindfold! I'd just like to add the small fragment of a silver Megane hatch's ass on the left. I'm still working on the one behind the Citroen.
You mean the 2cv?
Is it? I suspected but it seems longer.
I think so. What you're seeing is the back left side. Earlier cars didn't have the quarter window.
on the right a Solex

"Peter Wolf specialises in collecting French and English cars. Apparently Peter wanted to have all his cars in one place, yet close to the city where he lives. His solution was to move to a farm. Like the Dream Garage on the book's cover, this garage could only be in Germany."

Well, that was my first thought when I saw the name, the guy from the J. Geils Band.
But I'm thinking this is a different Peter Wolf. The one we Umurricuns know is probably living in Malibu with his 30-something third wife, and drives a Prius.
Re. challenge
Non-exciting objects: mailbox, road markings, 1970's brown ceramic tiles with fading effect……
I dunno, that mailbox kinda gets my naughty bits a-tingly….
…street sign, chimney, streetlamp, shutters, sky.
