I'm used to stick, and the first time I drove an automatic, I hit the brake really hard at one point, because I tried to push the clutch.

They could have cleaned the windows...

Kia Opirus. When some local journalists tested the Opirus in Hungary, they were fined for not paying the parking fee. The parking attendant put "Mercedes" on the ticket. Nevertheless, the Opirus was quite good value for money.

Put a lousy driver (I originally wanted to write 'woman', but that would have been unjust) in the towed car.

Back to the Future train vs DMC-12. Too bad they screwed up the movie afterwards with the flying train and shit.

I know it's not the answer you had in mind, but... I'd buy a LOT of cheap, but great and stylish cars.

I know it won't make the list, but I still have to say: I love the Nohab M61. Reliable, railway cult icon Norwegian diesel locomotive.

I hope they'll manage to keep the XH558 airworthy at least until I get to see it in flight...

Another video from the same venue. The best part is from 4:55. It was a bit noisy. The Ostrava airshow is to take place this September with a B-52H flying display...

Usually, airshow display lines are parallel with the runway. However, there's an airshow in Ostrava (Czech Republic), not very far from where I live, where the display axis is perpendicular to the runway, so if you're brave enough, you can stand right under the flying displays.

Choose where you leave your car and drive something that's on the bottom of the 'most stolen' list.

Gotta love the spinach green carpets and steering wheel.

Maserati Quattroporte interior. Note the bright yellow exterior.

Oh, I remember those. Great stuff. Also loved my Majorette Land Rover (mine was zebra striped). And the Alitalia 131 is just gorgeous.

I have a yellow Matra Rancho. When I was a kid, it fell out of a 10th floor balcony - good thing it didn't hit anyone. It fell about 30 metres, and there was not a scratch on it (OK, it landed on the grass, not on concrete, but still...). Tough little thing.

A local company copied these (and some other Matchbox vehicles) here in Hungary in pretty poor quality. I think I have one in my chest-o-Matchboxes.

Yeah, loved that one. Another futuristic kick-ass Matchbox I loved was the Peugeot Quasar.

OK, that's it, I'm going on ebay to buy one of those. I have three different CXs, a Traction Avant, but no DS, although it's probably my favourite car ever.

Oh man, this post and the replies sure bring back a lot of memories...

I absolutely loved the 'suspension' under these. One like yours and a red one.
