Default Popemobile


Now that the new Pope is Bavarian, maybe BMW should come up with a new
Popemobile. How about that?

As he is already nicknamed "panzer", perhaps it should be a half track.

Time to wheel out Chris Bangle again ;-) Maybe he can atone for his past
sins!

Some stupid british newspapers could not refuse the reflex to link everything which is
remotely German to a WWII or Nazi content. Well, this seems not very witty or
intelligent to me.

IMHO the nickname which has a chance to become at least slightly common is: Papa Razzi

AFAIK the vatican is very conservative in the choice of its vehicles, and they usually
use them very long. Pope John Paul was hauled around in an open Fiat Campagnolo until
the shooting in 1981. After that he very often used a Mercedes G with a bullet proof
glass cage. I assume they will use this car until it breaks down - in 200.000 miles or
so.

I got to tell you, as an American, given everything I have read in European
newspapers over the past 4 years, this comment is borders on the absurd.

Sorry, but sometimes you guys don't realize the slant that exists in your
world.......while telling us how we are duped are slaves to our media :^)
