Hm, there’s no easy answer to that ... Germans are quite exacting (and - you might guess it - humorless) about anything beer-related. For instance there is the famous Reinheitsgebot of 1516 stating that beer may only be made using barley, hops and water, which is still honored today.

Quoting Wikipedia, “a common misperception in the United States is the “lemonade” called for in shandy recipes is the US-style lemonade made by mixing lemon juice, water, and sugar.”

he describes it as “looking for what would confuse the system”

Ahem, pardon my intrusion but thanks to my several degrees in constructionequipentology I must correct you: This is not any front loader this is a skid-steer loader (Bobcat is a genericised trademark, like Scotch Tape, Windex etc).

Land Rover Defender, hands down.
When we got a Td5 90 as a long term loaner, I was baffled how uncomfortable, loud, wheezy, cramped, flimsy, stubborn and unreliable that hunk of british alumin(i)um proved to be.

Finally someone asks the right questions!
I cringe every time someone yanks the lever up to their armpits without pressing the button.

Whoa, I misread your first sentence as “I don’t stop anymore to render aid at rollover accidents...”

It starts with “C” and ends with “yenne” ... must be the same!

The right answer would have been: “The Willys? ... Oh crap! Not again!”

Back in the day VW already had a decent pickup truck: the Taro, a license-built Toyota Hilux. Though produced in the VW commercial vehicles factories in Hannover and Emden, it was a pure Toyota in all but its emblems. It ran from 1989 to 1997 and was rather unsuccessful.

Hm, that reminds me of our Golden Retriever who even managed to grasp it when we were spelling it “Could you take the D-O-G O-U-T-S-I-D-E?” Skedaddling ensued.

You can order “black coffee” and what you’ll get is an Americano.
