Here are some great shots of African cars in various states of disrepair. I made these pictures on my travels through West-Africa. I wrote a book about my efforts to sell an 1988 Mercedes 190D in Burkina Faso, called My Mercedes is Not for Sale.

The book is coming out in translation on July 15th in the US and the UK I am doing a reading in New York City on the 15th in Idlewild Bookstore in Manhattan (7 pm). (BB blogged about that store recently here)
