Yeah, you've got room for a few more bags of cement...

The best examples of globalisation aren't in North America, because North America already had a wide variety of pretty good domestically-built cars , long before protectionist barriers started falling.

The best examples of globalisation are in developing or middle-tier countries, where the government previously used…

A trike in a concrete wasteland? Is this a deliberate reference to Brazil?

It's a generational difference. Cars are a lot more reliable than they used to be.

My first car was a 1990s Nissan, so I soon learned that cars are simple devices which will survive hundreds of thousands of miles of punishment.

My parents' first car was a 1970s Rover. So, from their perspective, any car more than a year…

I like the theremin idea. Most avant-garde police siren ever.

Is it just me, or did they just copy a Fiat cab? Is this a habit for them? More recently MAZ has built Iveco lookalikes and MAN lookalikes...

It looks a little too overstyled for me - too many creases and contrived muscles - but then again so do the current rivals from BMW and Audi.

I still want one.

Those are Mercedes L-series. The "1924" just represents the weight and engine power - there have been "1924" trucks on other platforms, like this one:

Having separate bedrooms makes my marriage much happier. It's OK to have your own space sometimes.

Where would Truck Yeah! be without something weird from a defunct French truck-maker?

MAZ-537. Not fast, not pretty, not high-tech, just sturdy.

The Welsh text on this sign means "I'm out of the office right now. Send any work to be translated."

Perhaps so, but why is that a reason for every organisation to have a separate police force? Why do schools have their own police, but not restaurants, coal mines, swimming pools, insurance callcentres, hotels, and software development businesses?

Other places and organisations are covered by one police force.

Not hotwiring in the sense of just splicing a couple of wires together.

However, many cars have vulnerabilities that let somebody start the car (and do other things) if they can get access to the OBD port. People didn't worry too much about those vulnerabilities because adversaries would still need to unlock a door…

BMW 518d. Why?

You must feel pretty strongly about it - you said it four times - but couldn't actually be bothered backing up your point. I suppose the witness statements (on both sides) and the mass graves are pretty hard to deny. Why pick on that point in a thread about cars? It must be a very sensitive subject for you, yet you…

Yawn.

The NATO bombing the factory to the ground couldn't kill it.

Two countries, separated by a common language...

Maybach. If you're trying to build the world's most luxurious car - with a price to match - don't just make it from parts of much cheaper cars. Customers won't pay colossal amounts of money for it, and your exciting new product will wither on the vine.
