The motorized vehicle, despite its shortcomings and competition from E-cars, has become the household name for every family. Regardless of season- winter, summer, spring or fall- nothing can get a car running like the Diesel engine. And rightfully so, for the engine was named after a German. Anika Rieper of More than Beer and Schnitzel has a story about the man who invented the motor that has shaped the way we travel to this day. Click on the link and have a look.

This is the last installment of the series devoted to More than Beer and Schnitzel, although we will see some articles from that website and its counterpart, German Girl in America later on in the summer time. Nevertheless, here is the interview I did with Anika which you can read about here:
