. in fact, it was the g d q list waiting times didn't nearly dawn, east durham, and sing go. sonia schmidt, off the idea of singing that seems to in about a cuddly blue trap on see she'd read it. had some influence to get to ends in a try be and felt guilty about it. the in the eighty's, the following eastern has ever sent a man or had a hate to last for the trip on. it was needed on a daily basis. and it was a symbol of stuff, nation. while the west had caused it, had become significantly more advanced on the technology in conflict front. but try these remain the same. there will plans to try and develop new models of the call over time and told her that it's

a little bit. but the political power has to be put a stop to it. the the most significant change made to the call was in 1990 when the trouble and 1 point one was given an 1100 cc 4 stroke volkswagen engine. but it was too little too late. by the time the very last drop by and drop it off the production line, all of put it had been last. what you mean with a few unkind nicknames like to because in papa, which translates as because of use in cardboard, a reference to the general tasks that had once been the child. these innovative highlight off to the fall of the berlin wall at the top on to available for the tool away. okay. sometimes even for free, there was also something known as the chevy, 2 bedrooms, right along the line of the top on unwanted bending and unloved wood. one man's trash is another man's treasure. today, the chubby has become something of

someone interested in plastic automobiles. the is your of the cars behind the iron curtain was impossible. solutions a to resist for me is the forces from the, from west the newer, but from the west, off with the narrow uh was uh worse little secrets full of uh, misconceptions. who are very far away. i thought back then. so i've been living a lot and i think that's also part of the, the term of having a car like these that the allows you to discover, to explore, to, to know more into change of what you know already. the kind question is 1973. trump, on 6 o one named helga machine that's helped him get a glimpse into a wood he otherwise knew little about 7 years in and how guys like a family member who's defense and she was able to always dump the has exactly the same issue and having counsellor executive thing,

difficulties of finding uh to know the car from the west from the same but i also have one in any case i don't find this call for the calls. it's very funny if the car is more powerful to the problem in terms of loading capacity carriers, less people and less luggage. and the problem is harder to far cuz then that problem all the way smaller susie fashion for the pine size pressing duka is disease and he's been is a garage to its time period where he hopes to try be will feel at home while he goes about restoring the cause of reputation, the reputation and the rest of the cars themselves because they are disappearing to make people interesting, this car that they make sure that they don't lot. and then the end up being this crap. the arc context is important. and given when the challenge

was designed and where it came from, it has to be critical of because i suppose an iphone and jelly. glad that trump i'm still exist up to the closest thing we have to pay machines, classic cars and more automotive taylor, this time on risk. the even republicans are surprised at how radically us president trump and his trusted advisor mosque also feeling very election promises by restructuring the government of the state operates and trump seems his compact plans as a service to the american tax pat attendant to help reduce what he sees as excessive the for see in washington, john claims he's ending the inefficiency and waste of taxpayers money. but critics, since the secret agenda by the administration name dentist.
