Um, what in your book constitutes as classically beautiful if not the most cliché of cliché cars? The e type is as ordinarily beautiful as they come, I thought that was the one thing this world could agree on.

No one seems to be arguing against you on the Zonda so I guess I’ll occupy that spot.

If only it were made by someone who could concentrate on not going bankrupt for more than 5 minutes

Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of this one, and I am subscribed to his channel so I’ve seen a lot of his work. It’s almost impossible I think to get around the massive fields of leather grain plastic and faux, well, everything, that you get in a mid 90s to mid 2000s car. Such an awful era for interior design especially.

Nah, 4 and 8 is the ultimate twin spoke, something to rest your hands on while you hold them either side of the wheel. Ergo porn.

I never knew that! Awesome technology. I heard they had to get pretty clever with the aero as well to stop the exhaust from getting caught in the backdraft that enters the cabin when the roof is down. Traditionally in a convertible all the airflow in the cabin comes from behind your head.

Porsche ditched the side exit exhaust on the concept for this. If that were the end of the story, you wouldn’t expect Porsche to be able to make up for it. Nope, one better, stick them up in the air.

Here’s how I imagine it would go, it would keep going down the highway, and once it gets close to running out of battery, it would presumably tell you to take the controls. When it asks to do that and you don’t, it will eventually slow down gradually to a halt with the hazards on. That system was presumably put in…

I... I would do sex things for most cars.

Damn, that’s disappointing. I bet pur sang would have helped them make some original Bugatti engines. I hope they have a second attempt at building it now, once everyone gets over the shock. I’ve been a fan of the build for a while, half the tragedy it seems to me is that a 77 year old design, with all the brilliant…

Yep. I once had sharp pains in my abdomen that I had to go to hospital for, I was on a train at the time. I know it’s not totally the same situation and no one was in any danger, but every time the train stopped anywhere for a minute or two, I found it extremely frustrating to not be making progress. If I trusted the…

You can’t criticise him for exercising his self preservation instinct, in a state of agony. From the comfort of my sofa, here on my laptop, I could make any claim about what would or could have been safer. In his place though? I have no idea what I’d do. I’d probably take the quickest route though, in that state of…

Where did you hear that? It could be true but it doesn’t make much sense to me

I thought it was 450hp per prop, from 4.9 litre engines. Bugatti was putting specific power outputs not far off of that in their cars at the time, so it seems believable to me.

It adds to Bugatti’s history of tragedies that almost sound like they could have been fiction. Very sad.

I think it’s quite a common problem with any powerful lightweight propeller aircraft. It’s said that you can’t open the throttle all the way instantly on an old fighter plane because you can roll it quite violently, so pilots tend to push the throttle out as fast as they comfortable compensating for it.

That was a terrifically written article. I’d never heard of the H-1 replica or Jim, but what a guy he sounds like

And the ev-1 hasn’t? They made, and destroyed a thousand of them, quite quickly. Tesla is now producing 2000 cars a week, and they’re opening the second largest building in the world at the moment, because nowhere else can meet the demand they have for battery production. Based on what do you predict all that will be…

Given what happened to that car within it’s short, short history, you could hardly have picked a worse example.

Nope, me neither. Kinja be a cruel mistress.
