That’s a little closer to how Tyrion is supposed to look in the books, post-face-sliceage.

Tight? Depends on the rider mate.

Sorry, European here, he’s pretty well loved outside of the US.

True that. I’m selling my 1971 Fulvia at the moment, it should be gone within a few days. Great a car as it is when it works, I never appreciated how much reliability means to me until I owned a Lancia. Next up is a tough decision between an Amazon, a Morris Traveller, a Saab 900 or a Nissan Pao. The Amazon is looking

Oh my god don’t tempt me, the Amazon falls closer and closer to the top of the shortlist for my next car, as I sell my current one. So appealing in a certain way

True that, I almost take it back. I say almost because half the reason his car has lasted so long is because he’s maintained it as well as you can possibly maintain a car. I’m sure it happens less often than with other cars but there must be plenty of Amazon lemons out there, as with any car of the same vintage. That

Yeah, but probably not as fun when it goes wrong.

Well it would, if it hadn’t ended in tears at the goodwood festival of speed 2 or 3 years ago.

I think conversations about the e type’s good looks are dead boring, there’s nothing more cliché in the book. In the end though, it’s a cliché for a reason. It’s not the only lovely car in the world, but it is rather lovely none the less.

True. Though Lamborghini hasn’t even really done it for me in recent years. Cars like the Veneno have some great details, but they put them together so poorly that you end up with a complete eye sore. The sesto is pretty cool to my eyes, but it’s a non road legal, barely sellable track toy so I don’t think it counts.

Yeah, if you ask an owner they’ll likely say that they’ve had bodywork done recently or they’re getting bodywork done soon. Mine is the former, they are tricky to own, but people warn you all too much about that. I think it is Lancia Blue, I had it repainted to an original factory colour and I told them a dark blue

Yep, just a 1.3 S2, in blue. It’s a great hidden gem in the car world, it’s a shell that went toe to toe with the greatest and most famous 60s and 70s rally cars, in some cases beating every single one of them, and it still costs less than the rest. The only difficulty is finding the right one, that took me a number

Oh I know of the adventurists et all, I’m going on the mongol rally next year in either a 2cv or a morris minor, not sure yet. The rickshaw run would be ace, but a bit too dangerous for my taste.

Yeah, all round likeable guy. I find the visual vibes videos quite enjoyable once I switch off the cynical side of my brain. Especially the India one, that one’s actually quite exiting to watch. Whereas the Land Rover one, if you want to be cruel, feels like your run of the mill lifestyle brand ad (like coca cola or

It’s ok, the hipsters can’t hurt you now

I quite like that channel too, good informative stuff. It’s easy to call the former “nonsense”, and I have, but it’s still rather pretty.

Now playing

This is a great video by a big youtuber that I thought the top photo was from. TRIGGER WARNING: Pesky cliché millennials occasionally running sand through their fingers in slow motion through a hipster-esque camera filter, ye be warned.

Exceptionally placed zoolander reference, I’ve been looking for the analogy to describe Mclaren for years and now it feels like it was under my nose this whole time. Well done sir.

Well, he said that right up until he began losing at le mans. You look at the cars Ferrari made to race from about 1963 and you can tell he would have denied ever saying that.

Oh man, I want to agree with you, as a Fulvia owner. I saw one of the two Flavia Zagatos in the UK a few months back. It may be fascinating but I couldn’t bring myself to call in beautiful in any sense of the word.
