Volkswagen Golf LS
La Golf LS rappresentava bene lo spirito della prima serie: linee pulite di Giugiaro, carrozzeria compatta, trazione anteriore e un’impostazione moderna che avrebbe cambiato per sempre il concetto di utilitaria europea.
Semplice, razionale, robusta. Una di quelle auto nate senza voler sembrare speciali, ma diventate riferimento per intere generazioni.
Think Roland Garros – picture Peugeot 🇫🇷
The first Peugeot R-G debuted in 1989 as a special edition of the 205 Cabriolet. Since then, many other models bearing the lion logo - the 106, 206, 207, 306, 405 and 806 – have received an elegant, tennis-inspired touch 🎾

British Motor Corp, owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars for "The Italian Job" (1969). The chief of Fiat Motors offered to donate all of the cars needed, including Fiat 500s in place of the Minis. Peter Collinson, the director of the movie decided that, as it was a very British movie, the cars should be British Minis.
Fiat still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds. The authorities refused to close the roads, but the Italian Mafia stepped in and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming. The traffic jams in this movie are real, as are people's actions during them.
