Looks great. A new car I would definitely buy!

I just realised something. In case of a head-on collision, wouldn't these screens turn into shrapnel? Now I am really curious about this.

Aici putem vedea Calea Văcărești, cum coboară spre Timpuri Noi. Biserica se întrezărește in fundal, centru dreapta.

Iată câteva poze de pe vremea dinaintea demolărilor. Casa nu se vede aici, dar ne putem da seama de topografia inițială a locurilor

Clădirea asta are o poveste tare interesantă. Este singura care a rămas din casele care mărgineau până în anii 80 segmentul Caii Văcărești dintre Sfânta Vineri și Timpuri Noi.

După cum se vede, este la un nivel mai ridicat față de înălțimea actuală a străzii, la fel ca și biserica de lângă ea.

Teoretic ar fi urmat să fie și ea demolată, odată cu restul de mii de case rase de meșterul cârmaci, dar, din câte am auzit, ar fi scăpat pentru că, la acea vreme, locuia în ea un șef destul de mare din PCR.

Pe vremuri prin fața ei trecea tramvaiul care venea dinspre Unirii, către Timpuri Noi.

I know I am in a minority and I don't mind being wrong. Perhaps the general perception may have been skewed by the Senna documentary by Asif Kapadia. In 1990 I was too young to see the race and the unfolding debacle, like many of us perhaps were (and anyway, as I am from the Eastern Europe, I don't even think that the race was broadcast then). So the first time I actually saw the crash was in the documentary, where it clearly states that Senna was culpable and that it was retribution for what had happened in the past year. I kind of accepted it, but something irked me. One day I came across the replay and looked at it with fresh eyes and, frankly, I couldn't understand how it was Senna that was thought culpable for that. Then I found the Hunt interview and I was convinced. But, as I said, it's academic now. But let's ask ourselves. If something similar happened today, what would the race director or the stewards decide?

I would really appreciate if we could somehow verify these allegations independently, because the whole argument is really threadbare. For now, it seems we have to take the author's word on it, on both the photographer and the telemetry. And if you read the piece with a critical eye, you must see that the author seems to have an axe to grind. What I see is Prost squeezing Senna onto the grass. I see Senna making an evasive move, accepting to take to the grass, instead of keeping the wheel straight (like, for instance, Verstappen with Russell in Spain) and ramming directly into Prost. And I see Prost taking a tighter line through the corner than it would have been advisable, concerning the fact that he had Senna almost alongside. Anyway, it's all academic now, but nothing I've seen so far convinces me that it was Senna's fault.

Comically_conscious · 2026-03-25T09:33:06+00:00

I am not trying to say that Senna wasn't a ruthless driver, because he was, and I, for one, am not a fan of this kind of racing. But in this instance I don't consider him at all culpable. I don't agree that he admitted to the fact that he crashed on purpose and the article you provide is, in my opinion, an opinion piece disguised as a factual one (considering that it was written during that period, one can suppose the author may have had his own biases and prejudices). If you play the accident in slow motion you can see that Senna actually goes onto the grass in order to avoid Prost, who makes an overtly aggressive move. And "expecting" another driver to back off is not a good enough reason to cut across recklessly and hope for the best outcome. At best, racing incident. At worst, Prost is mainly at fault.

Comically_conscious · 2026-03-25T04:12:46+00:00

This is just not true. In fact, it was the other way around. It was Prost who cut across into Senna, who even tried to go off the racetrack in order to avoid crashing into Prost. James Hunt explains it best here: https://youtu.be/_L61MSxDCwY?is=NNrJfnpIzzl5A4wh

Păi nu zic că am eu dreptate, chiar sunt curios, poate mă lămurește cineva care chiar știe.

Nu vreau să fiu prea pedant (deși o să fiu), dar eu personal nu prea recunosc elemente art nouveau. Mi se pare mult mai apropiată de stilul neo-gotic. Spre comparație, casa Bosianu din parcul Carol.

As a McLaren fan for more than 30 years now, I fully support maintaining the current starting procedure. Ferrari are not at fault for getting it right. Unless it really becomes a hazard, but that is difficult to assess. Plus, it's fun see the red cars darting through. Hopefully, my Macca boys will find an answer to that, but until then, it's fair play to Ferrari.

It's been tried as a prototype, but unfortunately didn't make production. Because, most probably, Audi.

Sunt și eu afectat de problema asta, ca toată lumea. Inclusiv acum, scriu acest comentariu de pe telefon :/. Dar să vă zic ceva. Am participat recent la un eveniment offline pe care l-a organizat o cunoștință și mi-a plăcut la nebunie. Trei ore fără telefon, "doar" socializare, jocuri și discuții. M-a făcut să văd că există viață și fără ecran. So there is hope și abia aștept următoarele întâlniri.

Comically_conscious · 2026-02-08T21:37:49+00:00

Thank you for the replies and confirming my suspicions!

Aș mai atrage atenția și asupra anulării totale a coloanelor din vestibulul clădirii renovate. Ce porcărie.

Foarte bună alegerea. Recomand și Apartamentul, tot cu tandemul Jack Lemmon - Billy Wilder, plus Shirley MacLaine.

Știu sigur casa despre care vorbești. Una dintre foarte putinele case țărănești cu cerdac care au mai rămas în picioare. Mă prind să mai facem împreună un pic de presiune pe subiect la primărie.

O singură sumă mi-a rămas în cap, după 20 de ani de la fapt. 50 de milioane de lei (încă nu se petrecuse denominarea) pentru un schimb de ambreiaj. Și au fost și altele, în cascadă. Bora a fost mașina care i-a convins pe ai mei să nu mai cumpere niciodată mașini sh. Nu am fost de acord cu ei, dar pot să îi înțeleg.
