Very nice car!

I agree with Alan, this site looks eastern european. I would say it is
genuine.

Othervise though I prefer the chech economy over the slovakian, but they do
still quite impressive. We hungarians have let down a bit in the last few
years, but now it looks like something has changed and we are taking up revs
again - at least I hope soo.
