Did you know that in Old English, the colour orange had been called simply yellow-red (“geoluhread”)?

The word “orange” was used to describe the fruit before the colour, and of course, oranges aren't native to England.

And so? The Spanish word “naranja” was taken from a Sanskrit word meaning orange tree, and English adapted this to "orange."

Anyway, here's a geoluhread 911. (Or, more accurately, an Apfelsine 911...)

Construction of Berlin's Victory Column, Siegessäule, began in 1865 and took eight years. The monument, with the winged Goddess Victoria on top, is meant to commemorate Germany's victories against Denmark, Austria and France between 1864 and 1871.

Spotted outside Hotel Zoo in Berlin was this beautiful Citroën Ami 8 wagon, introduced in the early '70s as a more understated and stylish facelift to Flaminio Bertoni's whacky Ami 6.

The Ami 6 was critically important for Citroën in that it was intended to be a' stopgap' car between the 2CV and something bigger that was planned for later — but instead, the Ami 6 and then the Ami 8 soldiered on for 17 years.

Tourists visit Checkpoint Charlie at the corner of Friedrichstraße and Zimmerstraße in Berlin.

This building is actually a replica, with the original on display in Berlin's Allied Museum.

As far as design goes, the new electric #Fiat 500 is probably my favourite reveal of the past couple of years. Super cute and cool. Cooute?

Kia Niro EV, shot on my drive from Adelaide to Melbourne after the national media launch.

I really like the Niro, although most of my colleagues don't. It's far from perfect, but I like the styling and it's a great size. It's too expensive compared to its rivals, at around 67k — you're into a Tesla Y or Polestar 2 for that kind of money — but in isolation, I dig it.
