    - Dutch may have some inputs as to the quality of a Skoda  :stirpot:

    Korean auto "KIA" = Killed In Action

    Camaro =French variation of informal speech (slang) for "friend", "chum" (I feel the luv)

    Bart-
    Any experience with the East German Tribant?

    After the wall came down, I visited a cousin in East Berlin.  He had a Trebbie.  What a car.
