Bmw/jaguar v8 or an LS? Get out of here! !! Whats wrong with a tatra v8?, they still make them air cooled (v12 and v16 too, everything is modular ) on the downside it would ne a direct injected diesel...

A Shelby Daytona is already top of my list, but thankfully there’s a couple options for those. But there are other rare cars I’d kill to have a replica of:

Oh, I know. They just passed the point years ago when North Korea became a liability to them, not an asset. NK has the nuke, to a greater or lesser degree, a crazy-ass regime that is essentially a nervous, growly, nuclear-equipped chihuahua surrounded by some truly gigantic dogs, and is an embarrassment to China and…

Conversely, if the citizens of North Korea weren’t malnourished and starving, I wouldn’t care a lick if we leave them be. Yes, they can develop dangerous weapons, but they exist at the sufferance of China declining to allow the rest of the world to wipe out this egotistical little totalitarian regime like a person…

I’ve been to Moscow twice - 1992 and 2011. Supremely unfriendly people. Hostile to tourists. St. Basil’s is amazing, as is Red Square and there’s a lot of history in the city - but St. Petersberg is a real gem. I’d rather go there.

Good ol’ Storyville...

Leningrad Cowboys!!!

Like Magnox said, if you do ever come here do it in summer. The 21 hours of daylight and the water surrounded, green Helsinki peninsula is much more pleasant experience than the wintry Helsinki.

I agree, as ex-navy we saw the Russians pretty much as pricks but no serious threat to world peace. Sure they would fly too close, provoke us at every chance and push their limits, but they were not crazy. They want to have vodka after a hard day working as much as we enjoy a hard drink here. I was born in the late…

Sounds more like the environment you were raised in. I’m 33 so I guess I’m technically a millennial (seems that definition keeps expanding) but I remember being a kid during the cold war and I and my friends never feared the Russians or the Soviets specifically. We were scared of nukes but the Russians were never some…

Whenever my friends and I played army/shooty games, the Russians were sometimes the bad guys, but we mostly fought the “Fourth Reich” and Nazis. Until “Red Dawn” hit the theaters. Then it was Cubans and Russians for a bit. Then “Terminator” arrived and suddenly we were fighting killer robots alongside the Russians and…

“These are not two countries that will look on any START treaty as a guideline for their own actions.”

The USA and Russia are essentially economic opponents

Being around a decade younger than you, there definitely isn’t the inherent distrust of Russia/Russians that older generations hold. However, I don’t think anyone that reads the news on a daily basis trusts Putin and company whatsoever.

I wouldn’t go to Moscow.

Ah, the memories.

As much as I like wagons, I gag at the pretentious tools who would buy one in the states. The Audi wagon guys were already bad enough.

Frameless doors don’t change much. It’s the b-pillar that needs to go away. 4 door hardtop is the best body style.

So, you are telling me instead of just enough power to turn it sideways towards a crowd, it now has enough turbo inlet pressure drop to suck most of the crowd into the engine?

Hmmmm. Rear looks good. Front looks slightly confused. But I’ll concede it’s marginally more interesting than previous Vauxhall/whatever efforts.
