Dude, he beat Lewis Hamilton, who drove the best car in the field (as good as his’). What the heck does Rosberg need to prove, anyways? To whom? To you?

Well, I’ve learned something new, thanks for that! I thought that the 3CV nameplate was only a local invention, since I’ve never heard that Amis and the Belgian ones were called like that -and well before the Argentine ones. Now that I think of it, they changed the name when they introduced the 602cc (3cv) engine...

Nope, my Irish dude. This is a 3CV (complete with a rear hatch and a period-correct cameltoe).

The Apple car was clearly autonomous.

You know malware when it’s named “Pastor.drv”

Apparently only 493 were made. Bear in mind that since 1979 imports were allowed, what made small-scale high price cars untenable. The Alpine had a wide premium over a regular 12 (made until 1994), and it couldn’t compete against a Toyota Celica, a Honda Prelude or a Datsun 180 SX Silvia, which were not much more…

Here’s a link to a website where some genious scanned old car magazines for the human kind to enjoy.

I’m all with you on every statement. But what I meant is that Dacias turned out to be way feebler than the Renault 12s made in Argentina at the same time. The Renaults earned a fair reputation of reliability and easy and cheap repairs, just as you mention. And they tended to hold well the abuse and our roads.

Dacias were incredibly crappy. Many people in Argentina bought them because they were about the same price of a domestic, sturdy R 12, but with “import” flair in the 90s. The Dacias disintegrated badly.

Extra star for the Renault 12 Alpine: that pic was shot near my summer house, in Calamuchita. Those were a hoot to drive (properly).

Yup, someone had a lead overdose.

Let’s go back to 1990. My dad bought a small house in a well-off neighborhood and proceeded to demolish most of it and build a big, beautiful one. Next door neighbor was an anal-retentive Jalop who restored Isettas and Messerschmitts, but hated that someone was building a bigger house than his’. Did he try to tell my…

Was waiting for a glorious “arsehole”... leaves disappointed.

Were you representing my clients? I’m so sorry.

Human rights lawyer me subscribes every single of your words. Most of us have to deal with the incommensurate moronity of the world (including a fair share of ouer own clients).

Little sturdy motherfucker:

“No puppet. No puppet. You are the puppet...”

Could you please expand? We, in Argentina, had suffered all of the disasters of protectionism. By 1991 we were still building Peugeot 504s, Renault 12s, Volkswagen 1500s (think of a Hillman Avenger with a Morris Ital front fascia), Fiat Vivaces (a cheap, updated 127) and yes, Ford Falcons. Ours were slightly updated…

Alternative method: drive a Mustang.
