Subject
forum_emoticons.html	[quote=ingo,60255] Rather because of their lack of knowledge. Not all writers in classic car magazines are really educated hardcore-connaisseurs. We just have this discussion in our K 70-Club, caused by a K 70-buyers guide in one of the rather unimportant classic car-magazines over here. A plenty of bullshit is written there - because the writer stayed alone with the car-owner, our former 1st club-chairman, who told him wrong things. Things he was always talking in the last 25 years, although everyone else know, that they aren't correct. The arcticle was written without any proofreading by me or two, three other guys with real K 70-knowledge (the maximum amount worldwide). Anyways, not a real drama. The magazine is too unknown, anyone, who is seriously interested in that car, should better ask us directly - if not, his fault, but finally we got a bit publicity, just that is fine enough. There are roundabout 6 or 8 classic car magazines in Germany, but only 3 are important or well-known. The most known writers are always the same since 20, 30 years. Often they had changed their employer. I know nearly all of them. There are also some upcoming youngster-writers, but only a single few. If we hardcore-classic-car-fetishists think, that they are worth it, we support them. If not, we ignore them. Sooner or later they will disappear.[/quote]

Even the sex theater ads are perfectly bilingual:

although it sounds more direct in Dutch. They could have said "erotische film" too.

What American would this be?

On the subject of ads, I copied a couple of those pictures over to another forum and somebody pointed out in this one the Mini Metro ad is in Flemish whilst the Canada Dry advert next to it is in French.

The magic of multilingual cities / country.

(Morality is intact: Björn Borg and the couple drink non-alcoholic beverages. "Drink or drive..." )

I didn't know where to post this, but this title fits well: here is a collection of 200+ picture of Brussels in the early 80s:

lots of nice cars from all the countries (Belgium was nice for that back then, it was much less homogeneous than France/Germany/UK/US/...)

There were some weird adds too... :whistle:

It seems to be logical to remove the liftgate on the 1307, making some extra space and a (not that easy) passage to the car interior. As sedan/saloon only, there is then less available volume with a Zodiac :wink:

I would have liked my grandparents to have such a thing to put on their own Simca 1307 :grin:
