To cap it all

To cap it all = اللى زاد و غطى
An example from the dictionary:
"He spilled red wine on the carpet, insulted my mother, and, to cap it all, he broke my favourite vase."

Hyundai

I was chatting with a friend this afternoon, when he told me about an episode he just watched on Discovery, about the origin of Hyundai, this Korean Auto manufacturer.

A farmer who decided to leave his parents and live in the city, started a rice shipping company. At that time the Japanese were colonizing Korea, and they stopped anyone from flourishing a business. This farmer was no exception. His business was stopped.

A stubborn and ambitios one like this farmer decided to start over with an auto repair garage, where he used to repair the Japanese cars and sell used spare parts as if they are brand new.

Today, This garage is one of the biggest Auto manufacturers globalwide!!
