Nice video I came across was made in Holland
« on: January 04, 2016, 05:11:17 »
Some of our Dutch and German Members may apprichiate this video. Others may just enjoy the ride :) anyway I thought I'll share it. Sorry if you saw it before.

 In general the fellow talks about performance and general info most if not all of us already know. Near the end of the video he talked about the Porsche Boxer, he spoke so fast I did not catch if he was comparing the amount of chrome on both cars or performance. The Porsche might be faster then our Pagoda(s) then most of us also appreciate the fact "it's not the destination but the journey that is the most fun" besides we get to the destination sooner or later so we may as well enjoy the scenery :)

video is on YouTube, I came across it by accident

Cheers, Dieter

What he said was something along the lines of:

"If you've got €90K to spend on a car, you could buy this Pagoda. You might think that is a lot of money. Or you could buy a brand new Porsche Boxter. If you buy the Boxter, people can tell you are successful. If you buy the Pagoda, people can tell you've got taste. The choice is yours..."

Thanks Peter for that translation :) much apprichiated. I understood some of what he said, lost most of what I picked up when I visited your lovely country by bike as a student with my friends .... now so long ago.

People do tell me that our cars would fetch more in Europe, I am not surprised by the €90K price tag.

after such a great video I bet the car will not stay unsold for long... so many people want to show that they have arrived but be considered tasteful at the same time ;D

Rolf
many thanks for your happy accident, as you said...
