    This spot at AutoGespot.com (http://www.autogespot.com/nl/viewimages.php?id=c883824092011161354) reminded me of the days of Auto Becker; Ferrari dealer located in Düsseldorf until 2002(?).

    They also published their own magazine 'Auto Welt' and imported a lot of different makes and models. Did a quick Google-search and come across this clip: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9pEQ6BfWFM[/ame] and these pictures:

    aahh Auto Becker, I was there in September 2001, to have a look at the new
    Lotus Elise (S2), I still remember their classic car department, it was heaven for
    a young man! Shame that Mr Becker was at some moment more interested in girls than
    cars...

    Do you remember the car magazine Auto Becker brought out? I still have some of them...

    I have/had several, it was more of a life style magazine (indeed including pictures of pretty girls with cars) :)

    Auto Becker was also behind the concours events at the Königs Allee in Düsseldorf.

    that's right, it was more lifestyle than anything else! Now that we are talking of Mr Becker, where is he? What is he doing?
