  • La Bestioni. Gary Wales is back with the incredible 240-inch-long, chain-drive speedster he birthed out of the bones of a 1919 American LaFrance fire truck.

    Since Top Gear got screwed up in the UK, this is the only car show worth watching- never a dull moment, and very informative.

      @Three_Random_Words Před 7 lety +4

      Have you watched any of the Grand Tour on Amazon, and if so what do you think of it?
      IMO it's pretty good, but the second or third episode in Jordan fell flat.

    • @billcobbett9259
      @billcobbett9259 Před 7 lety +2

      I don't have Amazon, so I get what I can from You Tube. It's a pity they couldn't move to Amazon with the original BBC format- the new show seems to be a compromise. The 'banter' sounds even more scripted than it did before, and it seems as though Clarkson is very much to the fore as the star of the show, with the other two just there as support and the butt of his jokes.

      "Bill Cobbett"
      Repeating a name with nothing more. What does that mean. I see people do this frequently, but am not sure what the purpose is? Is it an error, did you mean to say more and the data was lost?

      Bill Cobbett , the just name thing is usually a mistake, generally it happens when one is trying to give your comment a thumbs up and ends up touching the comment instead. Hope this clears that up

    Jay Leno's enthusiasm for cars is truly infectious. His unyielding pursuit of all things cars, whether it's a modern day super car or a vehicle from days gone by, has made me gain a whole new appreciation for Mr. Leno as not only a great comedian, but as one of the great automotive connoisseurs. Simply put, you're the man Jay.

      +mengugreg You're right, however: if the name of the car is bestioni for whatever reason (could be a surname, a mythological creature etc.) then you still have to use the article "la" because in Italian all cars are 'female': la Ferrari, la Lamborghini, la Zonda, la Fiat etc. Therefore even with a plural male name you need the female article 'la' when it's about cars. If the guy wanted to call it simply 'the beast' then it should have been "la bestia".

    @markalexander774 Před 9 lety +8

    "La" is a singular form of the word "the" in English; however, words that end in "i" in Italian are plural, so "bestioni" is a plural word. So "La Bestioni" is incorrect grammar in Italian because it combines a singular article with a plural word. They should have done some research before committing to a name.

    • @madmonkey9143
      @madmonkey9143 Před 9 lety +3

      markalexander774 I think that thing qualifies as more than one Beast, thereby justifying the plural. It's like four bright yellow Hummers.

    • @markalexander774
      @markalexander774 Před 9 lety +6

      madmonkey914 I'm fine if they want a plural name, my problem is with one part of the name being plural and the other part being singular. Not to mention the fact that "la" is a feminine article and "Bestioni" is a masculine noun. So the possible names that it should have, in order to be grammatically correct, are:
      "il bestione" (if you want a singular masculine word)
      "i bestioni" (if you want a plural masculine word)
      "la bestia" (if you want a singular feminine word)
      "le bestie" (if you want a plural feminine word)

    • @madmonkey9143
      @madmonkey9143 Před 9 lety

      I'm not following you. Maybe I'm rusty on my grammar. Are you saying it should be 'Le Bestioni'? I am not aware of both a singular and plural word 'The' in English. I could be wrong, please correct me if so. Or maybe that is one of the differences in structure between English and Italian. Thoughts?

    • @madmonkey9143
      @madmonkey9143 Před 9 lety +1

    • @markalexander774
      @markalexander774 Před 9 lety

      madmonkey914 Yeah, it's just a difference between the languages. A lot of languages have different definite articles. In English we have one: "The" But in the Romance languages, they have masculine, feminine, plural, and singular versions of their definite articles that correspond to the gender and number of the noun in question.

    WOW ! WHAT A INTERESTING BUILD ! I OWNED A RETIRED 1929 LAFRANCE IN THE EARLY SIXTIES, IT SERVED AS A LADDER TRUCK IN PARKERSBURG WV FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS . NEVER BUILT ANYTHING OUT OF IT, WISH NOW I HAD ! TOO OLD NOW, PUSHING 84 YRS. .

    Not just the shirt, but the whole outfit. Black on yellow, gotta love it. Then again, I am a huge steelers fan so I'm highly partial to that color combination.
