You're welcome! Those handles were used in Series-2 124s (square headlights) and 1430s (double square headlights).

Nope, SEAT 124. Imports from the USSR were all but banned in Francoist Spain.

There was no SEAT 125. There was a SEAT 124 equipped with the 1600cc DOHC engine of the 125, though.

It's a SEAT 124 or 1430, an offshoot of the 124 which had a 1.4 litre engine instead of the original 1.2 of the 124.

It is a great invention... as long as you use it as an auxiliary mirror, since while the field of vision is much bigger, that means objects look much smaller, in a mirror with the same surface as a standard one.

As always, legal matters.

Well, the invasion of Afghanistan and persecution of Islam both in Afghanistan and Chechnya are closer in time...

Russian!? Those Commie-Orthodox Christians? Preposterous!

Just you try to keep alive under the sun in 45ºC weather and dressed in a biker suit. Go ahead.

Maybe that's where Renault got the idea to use them on my Clio (Renault owned AMC when they started developing the Clio).

Citroën DS23 Pallas Injection Éléctronique. Fit for a president.

A magnificent step towards the Ultimate Screw Head Design for cars: the TORX.

Yep. Which means that Panis managed to avoid crashing, something that even Jacques Villeneuve or Michael Schumacher couldn't.

Crazy awesome.

What about lean burn?

Turbocharging doesn't only help volumetric efficiency, but overall efficiency if used wisely. That's why it's becoming more end more common. A carefully designed turbo engine can operate very close to maximum boost from 2000 rpm or thereabouts, beating the global efficiency of most NA engines.

Original Geeksta!

My first one too (Siemens Nixdorf).

Sadly true. Case in point: BRD vs. DDR. With engineers trained in the same system, West Germans made the Gullwing 300 SL. Ossies made the Trabant. It certainly wasn't the engineers' fault, but management's.
