@NiveusLepus Hello, I'm sporadically here to post anything my mind thinks of

I wanna share with you a Billy Joel song that I personally think is underrated, โ€œAll for Leynaโ€ from the 1980 album โ€œGlass Housesโ€. I listened to it for the first time on the radio while I was driving to go to work and I liked it a lot

I don'g give a flick about the critics towards the mascot ot Italy's Pavilion at the Expo 2025 in Osaka Italia-chan, she is totally awesome! @NiveusLepus

@NiveusLepus It has been one of the first compact MPVs on the market but not the first one ever. The record belongs to another French car, the Renault Scรฉnic (from 1996 to 1999 sold as Renault Mรฉgane Scรฉnic)

Here is a pic of a rounded French compact MPV, the Citroรซn Xsara Picasso (1999-2010 in the Italian market) @NiveusLepus ^_^

Somehow I found a joy, @NiveusLepus: my favourite masks from the Season 4 of The Masked Singer Brazil finished respectively in ๐Ÿฅˆplace (Preguiรงa, Sloth ๐Ÿฆฅ) and ๐Ÿฅ‡ place (Bode, Goat ๐Ÿ)

@NiveusLepus You have to know that until 2001 the Italian buses had to follow a fixed colour scheme in regards of which kind of service were doing: orange for the urban and suburban buses, blue for the interurban buses. After 2001 the rule has been superseded and every operator has got free choice. In my region the blue for the interurban buses had a revival though

Here are two buses from the same batch but with different paint jobs. These are the Mercedes-Benz Integro O550 #590 (๐Ÿ”ต) and #605 (๐ŸŸก๐Ÿ”ต) of SETA Modena. This German interurban bus was purchased in a batch of 20 in 2000

Five centimetres. For five centimetres over the maximum width allowed (2.55 m vs 2.5 m) the Mercedes-Benz Citaro C2 can't be sold in Australia. In the pic there is the demo version of the Citaro C2 that has been tested in Brisbane. It mounted a Mercedes-Benz OM936hLA Diesel engine (7698 cc, 220 kW/299 PS) and a 4-speed Voith DIWA.6 automatic transmission

@NiveusLepus

Now it's official, @NiveusLepus: the public transport operator of my city will have in the future fuel cell hydrogen buses. The first three Solaris Urbino IV 12 Hydrogen are expected to enter in service in the first months of 2025 along with the infrastructure to erogate the hydrogen.

@NiveusLepus Let's say it's a combat android that turned into a street soccer champion

This is my avatar outfit in the Volta Football mode of EA Sports FC 24, a mix of a Transformer and Cleatus the Football Robot

@NiveusLepus ๐Ÿ˜Š. This is the second generation (C2) of the low floor bus Mercedes-Benz Citaro O530, on the market since 1997.

@northernbassist Amazing, I just remembered that in the videogame Forza Horizon 5 there is the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302

After a while I'm sharing a pic of a bus with you, @NiveusLepus: this is the brand new Mercedes-Benz Citaro O530 C2 G number 4106 of Autoguidovie in service on the route Z203 for the โ€œCologno Nordโ€ M2 Milan subway station. The livery has been introduced by Regione Lombardia and it's applied both on buses and Trenord regional trains.

@Wbtphdjd The videogame says 1975, the last year of production of the DS

Here is the Citroรซn DS 23 I won in the Autumn season of the โ€œEuropean Automotiveโ€ Festival Playlist of Forza Horizon 5 @NiveusLepus โœŒ๐Ÿป.

@elleci42a @NiveusLepus The car was also innovative for using the hydropneumatic suspension to jack up the car so you could place a stand under the car near the axle of a tire that needed changing. When you lifted the suspension, the wheel of interest lifted up of the ground. Add to that the single wheel nut and you have a car that made changing tires very easy.
