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 :p 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... [:kiki]
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...
