There are very strong rumours that the two-seater was lost (at a training exersize, not an airshow, BTW) due to pilot error.

Couldn’t agree more. That was the last 7er that looked graceful and sporty. The ones after the E38 all look... well, chubby.

No doubt about that.

I have a couple of Merc-fanatic friends, who can hold spontaneous, 15-minute speeches about how much the W210 sucked. Many consider it the shittiest Mercedes ever made.

Suzuki Swift (2nd gen.) - Europe’s version of the Geo Metro. Base model with three-cylinder 1.0 engine churning out around 50 hp.

What’s (even) more interesting: the same guy (I’ve been ollowing his YT account for years) made a compilation from the near misses and idiotic drivers they encounter.

I bet no one mentioned the Skoda Coupe.

The first time I heard this song was a couple of years ago at an airshow (in Zeltweg, Austria), where they played it while the fighter jocks performed their display routines. :-)

Although I'm grateful someone recorded this, it's funny how everyone's filming/taking photos. I wouldn't, that's for sure.

I would be worried about the lack of game fences.

I work for a company building motorways in Hungary. Standards are pretty much the same as in Germany. The radius of bends is limited (sharp bends are not needed anyway, as the country's motorways are mostly located on plains), etc.

In my country, the 'local Jalopnik' , Totalcar (former workplace of Nino Karotta a.k.a. the Hungarian Wolverine) organises little quizzes, competitions regularly to give away the press kits, gifts and stuff they receive from their sponsors.

Some of the videos - including the last one - are abut Barna Kőváry. The guy is pretty much a legend here in Hungary. He was the last one to keep driving a Trabi in the local pro rallying scene.

That must have been the Rábaring in northwestern Hungary.

(Artificial) leather on a metal frame?

Good point. However, the bomber was not flown from one of the fighters' cocpits.

I just love the Dutch. They're the Canadians of Europe.
