it pays to find it on DVD , even with subtitles... it's worth it... trust me on this one...




you can say what you want, but the French do have some of the best car stunt teams in the world... remember that scene in the Bond movie, the Grace Jones chase?

agreed, 3rd one , more of the same... good for a lazy evening , but nothing ground breaking

first one, a masterpiece...
especially if you understand french, then the whole rythm of the jokes makes a lot more sense, the southern french accent, the wit... the name calling...

A guy near me sold a really nice, original squareback last summer. I was really considering it. Luckily, he got a buyer before I talked myself into it.

Now, getting back on topic:

VW squareback AKA 411's & 412's. A 411 was my first car - precursor to my 911!

Actually, there is a type 3 squareback and a type 4 squareback (411/412)
