Hmmmm... Hard decision, but something inside me rather steers me towards wanting the 2 series even more. Yes, it's less practical (not a hatchback, no rear doors), but just look at it!

Do you want to lead a high-speed chase and die in a blazing ball of fire, because that's what will inevitably happen if you choose anything fast and flashy, or do you want to blend in, merge into traffic, and be gone at the next intersection? You want ultimate stealth not ultimate speed. And something that is cheap…

I have no idea if the fuse is accessible from the cab. I just think that it would be a PITA to tilt the whole cab to change one single fuse. I also don't think that it makes much of a difference, the cab probably didn't come with a vodka dispenser as well.

On a lot of Scanias (and maybe other trucks) the governor has it's own fuse. Pull that and the governor and only the governor dies.

And you probably won't be the first to do so. As it's a public toll-road, people tend to go around the 'ring with all kinds of crap, from RVs to horse trailers.

Raphael, VAT is already included in the price. Which kinda makes the whole point moot. I really like your stuff, but please do your homework.

Why do we have to wait until Putin admits it? He lied about those folks with the green uniforms in Crimea and denied everything. He then laughed about that on Russian state TV, admitting that "of course" they were his men. He lied to the world once, why reserve judgement until he feels free to admit to anything. They…

Now, let's see how long it takes until the Russian troll army attacks this thread.

Hearsay and some historic coincidences that don't say anything about how the car actually drives compared to the other two.

Well, you can't really make a statement on thise three cars if you haven't driven or even ridden in a Trabant. What are you basing your opinion on?

Have you ever driven a Trabant and a 2CV, or are you basing this on some "internet knowledge"? If not, do it and then rethink your statement. I've driven both, and the 2CV is very ummm "special" to say the least, while the Trabant does all it can to emulate the driving feel of an actual car.

They were actually not that bad. Number one among German car thieves in 1990! They did a lot right with it. If only the rust proofing had been a little better. You can't compare it to the cheap copy of the Korean knock-off that was the Pontiac LeMans. Too many little changes made along the way, which completely…

More like the other way round.

A German and a guy from the Netherlands meet at a bar.

Unfuckingbelievable! Someone pinch me, please! So it's Argentina on Sunday!

As a German, all I can say is "Fuck Yeah!" Never thought they might go in the lead this early. And I.... 0-3???????

Which car does your 1.4 TSI sit in? A mate got a Fabia Estate with the 89hp 1.4 about a year or two ago as a brand new car. While this wouldn't have been my choice for that kind of money, I have to say that it wasn't a bad choice either. He had some misfortunes with used cars, so in his mind the only options were…

You are not alone. And yes, that's a nice throwback!

It's somewhat funny that Fiat-Chrysler shares this with their fiercest competitor GM.

We left in August '89. My dad (divorced) had left a month before. He sent us an inconspicous postcard from Vienna. "Having apple pie with cream in Vienna. Greetings!" Just to say that he made it.
