Its too bad that Jay Leno got the "Jay Leno's Garage" show on TV. He used to
have episodes about his car on TV. I thought the Tatra was Yugoslavian but it
might have be Czech. He told a story about it being a Nazi killer. The Nazi
officers would acquire the cars and take them fast through turns, the swing
axle suspension would jack up, poor drivers would lift off the throttle and
spin out of control to their death.

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or
petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
