6 years old. Damn that Russian steel... |

It's the Fiat that was using Soviet steel, most likely for the Alfasud was used Italian steel... In some ways, Pomigliano d'Arco is comparable to Solihull. |

Alfa Romeo as well, recycled Soviet steel the Italian government bought as part of a trade agreement. Combined with no rust protection (pre-1980.) |

Lancia were the worst affected, I thought? There was a scandal here about the Beta and it's tendency to dissolve over night. |

Currently there's a scandal here about the FYRA, Italian high speed trains ordered cheaply, but they tend to lose bits. Link to "www.globalrailnews.com" |

Well, any actual facts about that "soviet steel"? |

I can throw in a song about Bethlehem steel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyiZN7_mwa8 . |

Insofar, that all these stories aren't true In Germany we have the common saying "DDR-Blech", (DDR-metal sheets) for the most terrible rust-years (the 1974+ "energy crisis") But a capable former automotive-engineer (and guide at http://www.automuseummelle.de/ ) has told me, that the reason for all this bar steel in the early 70ies was annother one: back then the steel factories started to produce with electricity-, not coal-powered blast fumaces. But they couldn't handle this technology quite well, so they failed. |

Ford also had these problems, again the stories here were that it was Russian steel, and as the cars were registered here in 1986/87 they had D-plates and so they were named D for Doom cars. |

LOL. At least you Belgians have new trains. Here if it were for the Italian railways company, both Alstom and Bombardier (plus the very Italian Ansaldo Breda) wouldn't work at all. |

Oh, does Bombardier also fail in Italy? Since some years there's a scandal in Berlin with their new S-Bahn-trains. They don't work - but the most old trains were already scrapped. From other towns Berlin cannot loan substitutes, because the technical system is unique. No kidding: recently there were less than one third of the Berlin S-Bahn-trains running. In numbers less trains than in ... May 1945... But the rivals aren't better. Siemens fails continiously with the newest gen ICE-trains. But it's somehow comforting, that we Germans aren't the only ones, where big traffic-projects, especially those, where the politicians have their spastic, dirty, incapable hands in, became horrible disasters. Many of us are thinking, that over here the most stupid morons have the power... -- Last edit: 2013-06-06 23:55:31 |
