When I think about it, all the people I knew were older. I’ve no doubt there are children learning from their parents, but the numbers are tiny. It’s sad.

I’ve known quite a few people for whom Gaelic was the first language they learned. Yes, they learned English - but Gaelic remained the language of their homes.

I get what you’re saying, and ultimately I probably agree; but I’m not sure that digital speedometers add as much benefit as footwear does for the shoeless.

Everything you need.

One reason that I find the Indian auto industry so much more interesting than the Chinese is that at times it seems truly indigenous: Indian solutions to Indian transport issues. This creates brand new classes of vehicles that might not work in the US, but serve India perfectly.

Yes. People seem to be overlooking the fact that the car doesn’t exist.

I don’t want to cast unwarranted aspersions, but how legitimate is GWA Tuning Shop? Does it exist beyond a handful of renderings and a partially broken website? Have they ever actually produced anything?

I hope GWA decides to proof-read (or rather, re-write) their description. Right now it’s painful.

These used to be relatively common in the part of the UK I grew up in. Almost always in this colour. In fact, I never saw one of these vans that wasn’t a camper.

Obvious - but no less true for all that.

Yes you’re right. Citroen’s innovation came in bringing so many new technologies together in a product for mass consumption.

Front wheel drive and monocoque - among other things. The difference between this and the Lagonda is that these things worked. So maybe not too far ahead of its time after all.

I saw one in New Haven yesterday. Top down, it looked like a dumpster on alloys.

I doubt even the most idealistic college radical (let alone the average European social democrat) has anything but disdain for the North Korean regime.

I’m not really a fan, but I can see how some might be.
