[Olli]

Its a candle x-mas holder.... not a impossible idea to about a candle and the 'thing' ... , but it's not a holder of it.

[Olli]

[Big_B]

Sorry for not coming back on the earlier one guys. It's so long since I got it right that I didn't even bother to check back and see the answer! :lol:

[Belmondo]

I don't have any macro shots to post, so I won't guess in public any more. I think I know what it is, though, so I've sent a PM to Jr#8 registering my guess.

[Matoch]

Is this part of a ball mouse? I don't know the exact name but the kind of mouse with a ball on top that you use your thumb or fingers with?

I really have no idea.

[jr#8]

Is this part of a ball mouse? I don't know the exact name but the kind of mouse with a ball on top that you use your thumb or fingers with?
EXACTLY

[Belmondo]

I think the proper name is trackball, or track ball, depending on your preference.

[Matoch]

Wow. I thought that was a long shot :)

I really didn't think I'd get this. I'm at work and won't be home for close to 12 hours. If you want to wait I'll post something. If not let's have someone post that hasn't had a chance in awhile.

[frydryce]

Saab... born from jets

Audi...born from VW... born from pot smoking hippies

[defordphoto]

Saab... born from jets

Audi...born from VW... born from pot smoking hippies

Actually Audi was born from a different compilation and then purchased by VW. Porsche was born from VW.

[defordphoto]

Actually Audi was born from a different compilation and then purchased by VW. Porsche was born from VW.

In fact:

The site GermanCarFans.com does the arduous legwork for you and presents Audi’s complicated history in bite-sized chunks. The four rings symbolize four formerly independent auto manufacturers: Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. The companies fused in 1932 under the moniker Autounion AG, but still produced cars with individual branding. A new company was founded due to Soviet expropriation after WWII. The company relocated to Ingolstadt under the name Auto Union GmbH, and was later acquired by VW in 1965. Audi later merged with NSU, a manufacturer of cars, bicycles and knitting machines under the sprawling appellation Audi NSU Auto Union AG. In March of 1977, the name was streamlined to what it is today, Audi AG. Phew.
