Btw, who can say they know what Saab 96 looks like, right now, without searching the internet? Finnish&Swedish people are excluded.

Ford and GM are the big independent US manufacturers. Ford appears in Europe with the Ford label. GM has brands like Vauxhall and Opel, recently they bought Saab.

Chrysler has merged with Daimler Benz, now known as Daimler Chrysler.

BTW, Nicola, is it true that Venice will get a metro?
Yes, they give everyone a submarine suit... :lol:
Yes, it sounds unbelievable, but I've read about that several times :idea:

Here's what I know: it's an old story that I've heard for the first time about ten years ago (but it's probably older). I read that someone presented a project ( 8O ). Maybe it was just an hoax, or someone wanted to get some space on the newspapers for free, but the news actually appeared on the press (micro - Olivier 1-0 :P )

I wonder what they could do!! The buildings are already very damaged because of the water and the pollution of the air... And they don't need any metro. The vaporetto service is working very well! It's cheap, fast and funny. :)

I love this city... venice is so nice! ... though it's very very calm in the night. I have not seen where I could have a drink and dance late in the night. :)
(I prefer Rome for that)

The only new car I ever bought was Toyota, genuine asian I'd say.

But I voted Europe, since I've been driving around in company cars which were all European : Opel, Audi, Volkswagen ... this is actually all about fiscal HP & Leasingconditions, and not about quality however

I would still buy Toyota ...
Time is on our side ...

Don't mind, I noticed that Nicola often thinks in term of 1-0 or 0-1. (That's the zero-sum game.)

I also love Venice very much!!! Maybe you are right, a metro would not really fit in such a lovely place. Subway cars rumbling through the underground would probably spoil the calmness. The vaporettos (vaporetti?) are already almost as cool as subway lines, but nicer! 8)

vaporetti is plural of vaporetto :wink:
Should try gondola one day, but I should first break the Japanese monopoly :twisted:
