I am a bus driver. The engineering is there no doubt Styling Yes Quality and high standards. Yes And the soul comes from having no desire to cross into luxury over function. You can clearly see where they build for function. What @Winglad says is right The Germans idea of quality was strong reliable equipment.I think now they have lost their way and they mistake luxury for quality
Just to show you my reliable vehicle that actually does have some soul in the form of a 5ltr V8 lump under the bonnet/hood. It's my trustworthy 1995 Ford F150 XLT with 230,000mls on the clock & I paid the monumental sum of $950 for it 7yrs ago!!!!
Cheers mate, I was just in the right place at the right time with a few $$$'s in my pocket & I snatched a bargain! It's not leaving home today though!!!
It's FORT Lauderdale ya drunken monkey!!!! I''l be flyin' over yer head then on Wednesday around 6pm on our way from Atlanta to Paris for my birthday.
LIOLLEHS ??? Hmphh. Must have been an Irish calculator, you wrote this on!? Or one of those: ?? (We call it ‚ATTACKUS‘) (ah... 71077342... I finally get it!) Could you guys please stop make me THINK! I am from a land where they cannot even build a small airfield anymore and finish in time... Let us go back to RANTING won‘t we....
Did I ever use this thread to actually RANT? I think it is time now: Friends of my parents went to a music-event about four miles from where I live in a town called Hanau. When they walked back to their car after the show, they were approached by two men who asked the wife if she was Jewish. In the following exchange of words she got hit so hard in her face that she went to ground. As her husband kneeled beside her to help, the two men kicked him unconscious. He was hospitalised and admitted to intensive care with a fractured skull and multiple injuries. So my friends. We send our kids to private schools to prevent them from being mobbed and extorted (at least my friends do). We buy Morgans and Triumphs and pretend to lead cozy Jane Austin lives. But this shit meanwhile happens in my neighbourhood... ...and it makes me friggin' MAD ! This scum walks the streets again. And what does the fucking Police do? Prevent my dad to drive up my mum to her hair-dresser since she can hardly walk more than 50 meters. And it's a Taxi only zone!!!! HOW DARE THEY BREAK THE LAW!!! I say: Invite the new recruits of Mossad to Germany, give them a nice list of above mentioned Unwertes Leben and tell them they now have the once in a lifetime chance for a real thorough hands-on-training. And while they are at it don't forget to ask the shitheads 'Are you Aryan?' Then slowly slid their throats. I mean SLOWLY. Sorry. End of rant. And should any of you ask themselves: No, I am not Jewish. I am reinblütig Arisch with blue eyes and ashamed of being part of the human race (...plague).
You have done well to get off so lightly, in Hampshire in 2009 I was nicked by an unmarked Skoda RS (thought it was a lunatic road rage axe murderer chasing me M'lord). It was a very twisty national speed limit 60 mph road and he only managed to get a recorded 81 mph on me whilst exiting a bend & before braking into the next. Upshot was a visit to the court, charged with speeding & driving without due care, after taking legal advice I went with full representation as I was told I could get banned for a month & fined between £800 & £1000. Lucky for me the video evidence that my solicitor requested prior to court was never provided by the CPS, so they had to drop the due care on the day & offered a deal if I pleaded guilty to speeding, final result was 5 points £300 fine plus costs, had I not had a solicitor (cost £300) I would have got far worse.
Sorry to hear of this Daniel - absolutely appalling and disgusting behaviour. Thought this sort of sh*t was sorted out years ago.
I am usually trying to be a joyful man, but sometimes all joy and fun get drained by stuff like this... Makes me feel so helpless. When did we start kicking, even though our oponend was on the ground already, signalling defeat!? Where does this end?
That’s disgusting, swamp dwelling bottom feeders. I thought the world had moved on, I thought knifing and acid throwing had taken over obviously I lead too sheltered a life.
Daniel, what goes round, comes round, eventually. It's a British term which means if you dish out violence you will receive violence.
