Well, I’ve been totaly uninpressed by the Juke. Mine was a french rental, manual diesel (no, it was black). It was decent, but not much more. Adequate small (Renault) diesel engine, good handling (tested in the Pyrénées mountains) but thanks to a pretty rustic and stiff suspension. Cramped inside. I did love the

4,561 kms ? More like 2004561 kms. And WTF is this hood ornament ?! And the roof rack ? Did it belong to a circus ?

I didn’t know that.

Wait, what ? John Surtees died in his hosital bed from a respiratory condition. Did I miss something ? 

I realize this is jalopnik and that no one will buy a Continental based on this review, but, still, it would have made sense to read something on the rear seat and the trunk space. It’s not like it’s a Miata.

Eh, I think I have somewhere a pre-war picture of my grand mother driving her 11 Légère...

I don’t think so. Packard 180 FTW. I’ll have mine with AC, please.

In 1940 ? Unlikely...

Fair enough.

There’s no such thing as real french. Unless you consider the Queen’s English as the only real english ?

(French guy here, who has visited Québec several times...) The accent is very specific (but, indeed, there are many strong and diverse accents in France proper, and other francophone countries) and the vocabulary is also peculiar and old fashioned (dare I say, charming ?). But something that’s striking for a french is

I would totally buy one for wandering around my estate, but 400 hp in a Land Rover ? I mean, I did drive a Land Rover. Granted, it was a Series III (fully synchronezd gearbox ! Positively decadent), but, I’m not so sure it really needs more than 100...

In all fairness, Koolen’s a legit competitor. He ran the Dakar many times, on a car, a truck or a bike. And I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Sainz did, indeed touch him. maybe without realizing it. It would be hardly unprecedented (see Peterhansel a few ago, a former rider).

I always thought, from the eco flying customer point of view, that the A380 was a missed opportunity. Decades after the 747, it’s not really quieter or roomier. Just bigger. Too damn big for many airports, actually. Like when hundreds of passengers burst all at once at the understaffed immigration desk of CDG or JFK

Oh ! Look ! A surrender joke !

Dude, you can’t even spell “fuck” correctly.

I believe he actually meant :“she’s smarter than me”.

European here, baffled by the whole cheerleading concept, but honestly asking : Are female teams supported by male cheerleading squads ?

You seem to personally know that bad, bad, woman and her family. Good thing you’re here to school her on dignity.
