Some call this logo the sleepwalking lion. But I love it.

Drive a manual...

I wonder why they launched a missile (especially at so close range) instead of *switchin' to guns*.

The T-34 tank. It contributed greatly to the Soviet Union's victory over the Third Reich, and ultimately, to the allied victory over the Axis powers.

I'm not a big fan of Ryanair either, but... the rules are all clear. It's not that it turns out at the airport that you can't carry a hangbag over 15 kg. No. It's all written down on their website. The same with all other rules. Yeah, there are a handful of these rules, but they are not that hard to keep in mind. In…

+ the lady in the information booth doesn't speak any language other than French. In one of the world's favourite holiday destinations. Still... I was going to add the same image of the Bir Hakeim bridge.

Dirty Lyle's jump from Convoy (1978).

Hungarian Air Force MiG-21 "Cápeti" (=Sharky). It flew the aggressor role in the Sky Hussars air combat demonstration team in the early 90s. Note the external fuel tanks.

I photographed something very similar on this Ukranian Sukhoi Su-25. I guess, flyboys are flyboys, regardless of the country and the aircraft.

Well, this was not exactly the thing on my mind when I took this photo of my car, but still...

Install an LPG kit. It's also a lot cleaner.

It's funny how cool old 911s look in colours like pastel blue, orange and "frog" green, and how ridiculous these colors look on most modern cars.

Oh, a pleasant Sunday afternoon programme here...

Citroen AX with the 1.4 (naturally aspirated) diesel. One of the local car mags did a test on the most economical used diesels, and they managed to get a 2.99 l / 100 km (almost 79 MPG) consumption out of the small Citroen. Although not as pretty as its relatives, the Peugeot 205 and 106, the AX is still a practical…

The socialist car industry came up with some pretty disgusting colors. Before my parents picked up their Wartburg 1.3 in 1989 (after years and years on the waiting list), they asked me and my brother what color they should choose. We started listing colors - orange, light blue, dark red, etc. When they arrived to the…

I instantly thought of that. That's what you get when Germans try to be creative.

The Trabant 601. Unsophisticated, noisy, slow, and eco-destructive - however, it provided relatively affordable transportation for masses in the eastern bloc. Cars that did the same in post-WWII Western Europe - the Mini, the Beetle, the 2CV or the R4 - have achieved cult status, while the Trabi is still looked upon…
