This is how a Finnish-English web site translated it:

Original post: buckle oli yonder germany by myynnissä , en oo ere nähny moista. Ilmoituksessa oli nevertheless volkkariksi tituleerattu? Describe well! Mielestäni period unsightly edition juniksesta , charge oli 1200?

Jan's answer: Me am tommosen nahny telkkarissa venalaisten afoot. Oisko ollu however roof.

I hope this clears things up for all us English speakers.

By the way, I'm thinking of taking a language course called Beginning Finnish. The second course is called Ending Finnish.

This bus was for sale on a german site. Nobody knows what it is, it was being sold as a VW bus. The similarities are striking, but yet it is not what we are used to seeing... weird.

We think it must have been an east german copy of the west german original, since the east was under such heavy embargo that they couldn't get much of anything imported. Or it was a Russian made copy. I remember seeing something similar on tv, filmed in Russia.

Are there supposed to be pictures there? All I see is text, no pictures or links to pics.
