  1. Looks like a very interesting game. Having the hitters running in a zigzag pattern must be hell to score a point.

  2. It was such a monster of a car that those in power got it banned. Too many interests in those lobbies.

  3. I don't know about the Lancia S4, but a friend of mine had a Lancia Delta HF Integrale. It was a power monster. I've asked him how was it to drive it, because of so much power, and he told me the rear axle had opposite driving wheels. By that I mean, the rear wheels turn into the opposite direction of the front wheels (only a few degrees), to help cope with turning. Now, I've never heard of such a system being used in road cars, but it surely helps turning, especially at low speed tight corners.

  4. That was impressive. Driving in a straight line us easy enough. Manoeuvring like this, though, is a pain if in places with narrow roads.

  5. Wow! That looks really bad, indeed. Hope nobody gets injured or killed. Best wishes for all in the affected areas. Stay safe, guys. 🙏

  6. So is Portuguese grammar. Speaking, on the other hand, is very similar to Spanish but with a few differences.

  7.  @yermanoffthetelly  Not a month ago, I was on the motorway to Dublin and two i40's drove by me with such a speed, I thought I was driving in reverse. Believe me, if they want to be fast they will be fast.

  8. In the 80's my favourite German artists were Nena, Kraftwerk, Alphaville and Scorpions and Austrian singer Falco. Every now and then also some Nina Hagen. Falco, as far as I know, died in a car accident in the U.S.A. in the 90's.

  9. That bread food reminds me of a fondue. It surely looks delicious. And it looks easy to cook.

  10.  @fjmmc9907  I was ten and my teacher was an adept of discipline. He was hard to please but also fair. First thing he did when the news of the revolution broke out was taking the pictures of Salazar, Caetano and Americo Tomas down. Back then, none of us understood what was going on, but not having to sing the National Anthem every morning and doing gymnastics was a blessing.

  11. Those engines sound like they were built for success. Every gram of sound is full of power.

  12. It always amazes me how chill Aussies are regarding wild life, especially poisonous creatures. They have the biggest concentration of the most poisonous animals in the world.

  13. Yes. What both languages have in common is very similar to people speaking English and American English. Base words are pretty much the same, but accent can change the way it sounds. Even the meaning can change. For instance, Americans say: put the garbage out, while the English say: put the rubbish out.

  14. Imagine being a tourist on a beach watching the sunrise/ sunset, looking to the side and seeing one of these lizards. Most people would run out of there faster than Usain Bolt. 😂

  15. To fit Ian in this car, you have to take out the seat and have a bigger sun roof.😂 Ian, since you love vintage and somewhat wierd cars, have a look at the BMW Isetta. It's an egg concept car from the late 50's.

  16. That village in Sweden looks like a miniature due to the height the photo was taken. Very beautiful. The Vasco da Gama bridge connects Lisbon to my hometown of Montijo. Between getting to the bridge access, driving on the bridge and exiting takes about half an hour, provided one doesn't break any speed limits. Awesome video, Ian

  17.  @peterbockholm3176  Montijo in Portugal. Just half an hour drive south of Lisbon.

  18. European doors just like the one you saw are mandatory EU Safety directive standard. Not all are as thick, but they have to be fire retardant. As for the lock itself, that is the choice of the house owners, but the minimum is a three point lock system ( top, center and bottom). Most houses and apartments older than the 90's don't have doors like this.

  19. In Portugal and even here in Ireland, Scandinavian movies are very rarely on TV ( not to say never).

  20. The Portuguese language is a mixture of several languages. Starting with Lusitanian, Latin, Celtic, Iberian, Greek, Arabic, and Eastern languages brought in through the Barbarian invasions. Also, some English has been taken in, more now since personal computers and internet were made available. Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are as different as are American English and British English. Just different ways of saying the same thing.

  21. Well done, Ian. A lot of beginners luck, but hey, it's part of the game.

  22.  @metalvideos1961  I've heard about Curling and it's an interesting and very tactical game. Quite difficult to play as well. Again, I didn't know that it possibly is a Dutch game. As for Christmas, I've heard two versions: 1- Its origins are Dutch, and 2- it's originally from Turkey. Whoever invented it, made a huge lot of children happy and gave parents a huge headache.

  23. In Portugal all cars from driving schools and the ones for the test driving had two sets of pedals and driving wheel until the end of the 70's. At any given time the instructor could take over. We had to have a minimum of 15 driving lessons+ a certain amount of theoretical lessons, after which you could apply for exam. Certain testers used to order the pupil to turn into a oncoming traffic one way street. Many people failed their tests because of that. Nowadays although the testers are more comprehensive, there are people who fail. Rules are tighter than ever, and with good reason. There more cars on the road, traffic jams can be a pain, nervous system can take over and cause you to have sn accident, and of course, some people do not respect the rules, because they're speeding or doing certain manoeuvres that put themselves and others at risk. Remember this, there's always someone thinking they are Ayrton Senna and that they can get away with it.

  24. Good Lord, Ian! Where do you even find these things? They're hilarious. 🤣

  25. Learning English at four years old even before learning the basics of Portuguese? Are you kidding me? I know the system changed several times from when I was a student fifty years ago, but I don't buy that.

  26. Holy Moses! That Falcon sounds brutally amazing.

  27. Indeed he said "game killer". Probably talking about a cricket match (hey, I'm just guessing). 😂

  28. The advantage of using the Euro is that you don't need to exchange money to spend it within the adherent countries. But, and there's always a but, some people think their country lost part of their identity because of the Euro.

  29. I've never seen anyone playing mini golf like this. This man must have spent countless hours playing to achieve such level.

  30.  @fjmmc9907  Sorry for the late reply. I did have Saturday morning school until 25 April 1974, but we never had marching exercises. We did have gymnastic classes, all dressed in white t-shirt and shorts.

  31. Beautiful cars in a beautiful setting. What more can a mere mortal ask for? Happy New Year Ian and family and also to everyone else in this amazing community. Best wishes to you all.

  32. Ian, brother, you will never be a true petrol head if you don't own a Alfa Romeo. If you watch old Top Gear episodes, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and May will tell you why. You've got some interesting ratings, but hey, it's your personal opinion and we have to respect it. Maybe in the future you will change the ratings after knowing more about the brands. Well done.

  33. Let's face it, Ian. If you don't respect the machine, the machine won't respect you. That is why footage like this scares any mere mortal. Ayrton Senna had a major advantage over everyone else in the pack, he was left handed. While every pilot lost tens of seconds shifting gears, he didn't. Also, he was the best at driving in wet tracks, due to his time driving karts. When everyone went to the box because of rain, he was always on the track to refine his technique. Forever in my heart as the best pilot.

  34. After the British, French and Spanish you mean.

  35. Speed isn't always the best option. With such a slippery road, power helps a lot more. It is possible that the tires were a little deflated to give more tracking surface, but every now and then they still slipped. But the most important thing is to have experienced people who know what needs to be done.

  36. All the trucks are beautiful and sound good. The only problems (I know it's not Ian's fault), are the damn ads and bots. Twenty five minutes of ads without the skip button at the start, plus some more during the video, and sixteen bots (all reported as harmful).

  37. Cool and funny answer. 😂

  38. 9:46 That Peugeot sounds like an old hand cranked diesel cement mixer. 😂

  39. Two very good looking buses. I've never heard anything about them.

  40. In Portugal the 2CV was known as 2 Cavalos ( in English 2 Horses- as in horse power) because the engine had almost no power. Another Citroen car you should look at it the Ami 8. Very similar to the 2CV but with a bit more power. And since you love "wierd" cars, why not taking a look at the BMW Isetta. You will be left speechless, I guess.😂

  41. Mata-Hary was a Dutch spy.

  42. I had a Ford Escort Mk3 that failed the MOT for a broken licence plate light, and was not allowed to take the car. I just walked five minutes to the closest parts shop, bought a new bulb, walked back and installed the new bulb in front of the tester mechanic. Only then, I got the certificate to prove the car had passed. They are quite rigorous here in Ireland.

  43. I wonder how much money some of those car owners spent between buying the car and keeping it in tip top showroom condition (as original as possible).

  44. I wonder how much of this in the USA is because of insurance companies. Are their lobbies trying to get more money from drivers because very easily an accident can happen?

  45. It's amazing how little they turn the driving wheel at such speed without losing control.

  46. Verstappen will never be the people's hero like Senna was and still is. Senna was a very humble person who fought his way through determination to be world champion. Verstappen, on the other hand, had his dad working behind the scenes to get his son to where he is now. Verstappen is an excellent driver, no doubts about that, but he'll never be at Senna's level or have the same love from the people.

  47. Good Lord! That person doesn't deserve to own and drive that Ferrari. I wonder if the driver got his driving exam by Morse Code. 99% of European drivers would love to find such a premium space. 😂

  48. Ian, despite of how many people stadiums in Europe can take, you should try listening at the sound when it has full capacity. It's deafening, specially when there's a local derby.

  49. Cool. Thank you for the information. 👍

  50. That is absolutely beautiful. Very well maintained and clean, and better yet, free for all. Even a free barbecue. You won't see anything remotely like this in Portugal. You can go to a park or any other open space but you can't either use a barbecue or you have to bring your own. Damn, I'm getting jealous. 😂
