De la Clarkson la Enzo Ferrari, toţi au sau au avut vorbele la ei
Au fost rostite ironic, în glumă sau cât se poate de serios. Citatele celebre din lumea auto au însă un numitor comun: au rămas în istorie şi reuşesc să-i facă pe entuziaştii acestei industrii fie să zâmbească, fie să mediteze la mesajul ascuns sub fiecare maximă. Noi am răscolit internetul şi am selectat o listă cu cele mai interesante maxime, aşa cum le-au rostit personalităţi importante din lumea auto.
Am decis însă să nu le traducem în limba română, din simplul motiv că sună mult mai bine şi au mai mult sens în engleză. Vă dorim lectură plăcută!
