Really very pretty and quite delicate in the flesh so to speak. There is no modern Maserati equivalent - they seem to be aiming to turn Maserati into a sort of Italian BMW

I like the design. A nice combination of modern and historic. The behind the head fin/bulges set it off.

Just looked at the Fiat 124 again and I think they've missed a trick styling-wise. Could have gone far more classic Italian.

Sorry about that. I assumed that since I had marked the piccie for sharing, it would be available to anyone anywhere.

Lets try this

Having done Latin for 2 years at school I am left with the following....
"Latin ia a language as old as old can be....
It killed the ancient Romans and damn near killed me too"

Nil carborundum illegitimus.

I too wasted two years doing, rather than learning Latin.
Languages were not my thing.

Amo, Amas, Amat has stuck. That's about it.

Oh and the verb at the end appears.

Ah Latin.

What a disaster for me.

When I started Latin I was two years behind my class.

I tried so hard to catch up but I never did. Sadly in doing so it dragged down quite a few of my other grades.

My teacher was Ms Griffith ...a dragon ..I was actually terrified of her.

She was also deputy head and could spot the banned nail varnish on the girls at 100 meters with ease!

I do recall managing reasonable well,.... until we arrived at Pluperfect Subjunctive. My house of cards collapsed!

You can tell ...I still need counselling to this day 52 years later!

A Roman soldier walked into a bar and ordered a Martinus.

"Don't you mean a Martini?" asked the Barman.

"If I'd wanted a double I'd have asked for one!"
