What kind of car is "DSC_5699.jpg" from the Slovenian Technology Museum set? It looks like a Tatra, though I may be wrong, and if anything looks most incongruous beside those old British cars that have somehow found their way to Ljubljana. Always been fond of those limos that only the nomenklatura used to get to drive in the former Eastern Bloc.

It's actually a Packard - the entire set of cars in that room (5698-5707) are Tito's car collection - note the 2" bulletproof glass...

Tito being the rather sombre-looking statue clad in a trenchcoat in the Velenje set.

Gah, that was me.

Piran is pretty, isn't it? It's a pity the conference I went to was based in Portorož instead, but at least that was walking distance to Piran!
