    I hate people that are proud of being this nationality or that nationality. You most probably did not chose it. it's like saying, I am proud to have 10 fingers.

    These guys only took the race because the Persian Gazelle, an Iranian car, opted not to enter the race. Everyone knows the dutch are inferior.

    The average speed of the Iranian car was 141.62 km/h, and as everyone who's seen Back to the Future knows, "when this baby hits 141.62 km/h, you're gonna see some serious shit!"
