Subject
forum_emoticons.html	[quote=eLMeR,60259] Not the case in this article (nor, as far as I know, in most articles of this magazine). Written on the first line, second sentence: [i]"The BMC ADO17, most known as Austin 1800..."[/i] Once again, French article in a French magazine, so French specific market. Remember the [url=http://imcdb.opencommunity.be/forum_topic-3327-58390-interestingfunnyspecial_cars_sightings.html]Renault 4 discussion[/url] :D Other BMC makes were not usual for that car, in France. The Austin model itself is not that common, in fact. So for me, this is (more or less) the same as having (in France, once again ;) ) a title like "Ford Taunus (1970 - 1982)", with the "Cortina" name and "TC" complement mentioned (several times) later in the article. In any case, it sounds logical to me in a magazine intended for both the general public and the specialists. Moreover, and if I'm not mistaken, the author of the article about the ADO17 is the one who often shows amazing pictures about almost undocumented versions of British cars in his articles, and as a Belgian, gives also the French and Belgian specs of the cars when possible. I think we can say he knows what he's talking about...[/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:
