@AustintheBruiser: Definitely this one. All forms of racing are still banned in Switzerland because of it...

@KillerKoala: The fortwo is almost three feet shorter than a Yaris. Three feet.

@amels802: Like this.

Mercedes-Benz 300SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe. OK, so technically they made two- only one had the mufflers needed for Uhlenhaut to use it as a company car every day without being arrested.

About the Voisin: Gabriel Voisin actually built a STRAIGHT-twelve, which went in his personal Voisin C28 Aerosport (the pic is a 6-cylinder model).

@pinshot: The MoD research budget is certainly not "unlimited" by any means, and neither is the rest of the MoD budget. "Larger than you'd like it to be" doesn't equate to "unlimited".

@Miggity: A tradition at British Christmas dinners- each person gets one. You and the person sitting next to you each pull one end, it breaks with a bang (there's a cap-gun cap activated by the pull) and one of you is left holding the middle bit, which contains a paper crown, a small plastic toy and a piece of paper…

@Foo2rama: But is it bigger on the inside?

@spacewanderer: Could be worse. My family's Ford Galaxy had windows that went up and down of their own accord whenever it rained, even when it was parked with the engine off.

@tonyola: The Russians also went for speed records in low-displacement classes. This is the 1949 MZMA Zvezda-1 which IIRC held the world sub-250cc land speed record.

@87CapriceEstate: no, that means "I want to run fast". I want to go fast (in a car) is "Я хочу поехать быстро!"

@D_Robb: The great thing about batteries is they can go wherever you like, and as low down as you like. This car should have perfect weight distribution.

@Ian Luna Belyea Hill: The T97, to be fair, was designed and built before the war when Czechoslovakia was democratic and capitalist.

A bit of an inaccurate title given that only 5 of these cars were made in the actual Soviet Union (2 from Czechoslovakia, 2 from East Germany and 1 from Poland round out the list). Given that there's no Yugo and nothing Chinese, I suppose you could say "Warsaw Pact".

@tonyola: Not to mention the Niva, which is still popular not only in the former Eastern bloc despite competition from Western and Japanese rivals, but also in places that were never Communist but want a cheap and sturdy off-road vehicle.

1996 Ford Galaxy- he bought it when my brother was born and we needed a bigger car than our existing small hatchback (FIAT Punto). For non-Europeans here, this is a European-style (2-3-2 captain's chairs) 7-seater minivan with no sliding doors, also sold as the VW Sharan and SEAT Alhambra. It was an unbelievable POS.…

I'm surprised you missed this one!

@MikeTheRipper12: I remember one where Homer said that it was made in Guatemala after someone called it a "fancy German car".

The gloriously insane Tatra T603: a big 6-seater luxury sedan with a rearmounted, air-cooled, 2.5-litre hemi V8. Production of the basic design (with updates) continued until 1999, by which time it had been completely restyled and the engine had grown to 4.4 litres- but it was still air-cooled and behind the rear…

@muhnkee_2 - Avantime Owner and 100% Jaloper: As far as I know they're just high-speed pursuit cars (535d).
