The Essen Motor Show is apparently the world's largest tuning fair; like Europe's version of the SEMA show. Only with more German muscle and a fire-spitting motor theatre. Wonder where they got that idea from?

The Brabus-tuned SLS AMG is there, along with an ABT-tuned Audi A1 and a special edition Range Rooney.

You would think, then, that an event of such calibre would summon only the most distinguished characters. F1 driver Adrian Sutil popped by to say ‘Guten Tag', along with Top Gear's BFF Sabine Schmitz and ex Playboy model/racer Christina Surer.

And, erm, Brigitte Nielson in a strange pose in front of an old Merc. Go figure.
