I’m with Dave when it comes to keeping old cars on the road.
Whilst not as old as his 1950 Fords mine are both from 1975 and used as regular day to day transport.

I pack a 1911 Colt that's over 90 years old.
Now, my Damascus-barrelled 12ga is another story…

You can tell a true hot rodder, driving home from a show in the rain with his uncapped roadster.

I remember Weissbier from Berlin. I was under the impression it was pretty much a local product at that time. I can remember some of the locals putting a shot of some type of fruit syrup in the Weissbier.

Shandy (also radler or panaché) is beer flavoured with lemonade or another soft drink or soda water. Lemonade-based shandies are more common in Europe, and ginger ale is more commonly used in North America and the Caribbean. (The American reader should be advised that ‘lemonade’ in Europe is akin to 7-Up in the US; it bears almost no resemblance to American lemonade.) The proportions of the two ingredients are adjusted to taste, normally half-and-half, although shandy sold canned or bottled is typically much weaker, around one part beer to ten parts lemonade. The dilution (and thus reduced alcohol content) of some packaged shandy may make it exempt from laws regarding distribution of alcoholic beverages in some jurisdictions.
Panaché
In France, a panaché (meaning “mixed” or “motley”) is beer or ale mixed or flavored with limonade (French-style lemonade), which is lemon-flavored soda or soda water. Adding grenadine to the mix makes a “Monaco.”
In Britain, a popular variant is the “lager top,” in which a small measure of clear lemonade is added to the lager, usually about a centimeter. There are regional variations to the pronunciation: in East Anglia a single pint is referred to as a “lager tops”, whilst in the Isle of Man and the Lake District, the name “lager touch” is used.
