2011 Miss Tuning Calendar - making of pics released

Here she is, 26-year-old Mering, Germany, native Kristin Zippel in her first photo shoot as Miss Tuning 2010.  The pictures were caught behind the scenes at the shoot, some of which took place in-and-around Detroit, Michigan, and Sandusky, Ohio.

Zippel became Miss Tuning after winning over the judges at Tuning World Bodensee in May.  For winning the award, the therapist and surgery assistant student won a Nissan Micra and the photo shoot opportunity.

"This is crazy, I'm really looking forward to exciting events with great people, and above all the cool cars," Zippel said after winning the award.

She took the crown from the 2009 winner, Martina Ivezaj, who posed for her calendar spread in the British Virgin Islands.
