- getting around
By Sándor Götz: This ship has been planned for the demands of the 21st century, and has multy-functioning possibility and economical operating character—beside that the shipping has a cost like only some small part of road transportation (1/15)—as well as the comfort, the manoeuvring ability and the travelling speed of that can be competitive with all modern traffic vehicles driving in the heavy ...

Áder will be elected after the first round of ...

It's as primitive and raw as tartar, but also full of the same nerve and fire as The Hives and early The Who. So ...
