To ruin everything, it should be pronounced "nodge" to rhyme with dodge.
Oh and in Vilmos the 's' is an 'sh' sound.

Vilmos IS his real name...He probably added Nagy (which means big) because of certain problems with his self confidence...

If I recall correctly he's driving a Peugeot or Vauxhall or similar. No lack of confidence there.

It was an Opel but we have a Renault as the family car. I also have a vintage sports car for playing.

Going from an Opel to a Renault is having balls the size of watermelons in my book.
It's either that or a being a complete pillock.
A vintage sportscar sounds a lot more interesting.
How vintage is it?

It's only 1971, but it has a custom body and looks like a 1930's Aston Martin - NG TA[^]

That's an officially cool car!
But is it really from 1971?
According to the german wikipedia the company was founded in 1979.
I can't find any english wikipedia entry.

Thanks. She started life in 1971 as an MGB and was rebuilt [in 1981 IIRC] as a NG TA, but kept her original paperwork hence she's a '71. We bought her in 2006 and love her to bits, now we're waiting for some good weather again so we can take her out.

OIC.
I will have to admit I'm more than just a bit envious.

iirc age is derived from the donor car, so even if the kit was built this year the new car is given the identity(reg plate, age, exclusion from taxation) from the donor vehicle

I see, I wasn't aware that it was working that way. Makes sense though.
Thanks for clarifying.

I cannot remember the last time I saw a fax machine (yes, yes, I know you can fax from a computer).
I had a job, many years ago, where we had a central server that faxed a summary of stuff each morning to around a hundred customers around the country.
People liked the faxes because they could walk in, pick up the fax, and read the summary whilst making the coffee, generally getting ready for the day ahead.
We wanted to save money on all the faxing.
All these customers had their own server, we wanted to transfer the data and let them print if the wanted or view on screen.
They liked the faxes.
So I transferred the data to the local server, and then made it fax the fax machine that it was often sat next to.
Moved the cost of the faxes from us to the customers.

Most of my customers would be challenged to send me a signed document on their own and I CBA to set up such a server

Actually we were happy to set up such server and get rid of the fax machine - our customers had serious problem to decide when and what to send on fax so we had a huge warehouse for paper and toner only...
