Done Monaco, done Le Mans, done Nurburgring, done Goodwood.

Monaco is an experience but whether it’s great as a spectator depends on where you’re sitting. I was at the swimming pool, which was okay but really I spent most of the race watching on the TV screens as the view was otherwise fairly average.

I love BTCC, but those cars still bear little resemblance to the vehicles they’re based on. Not so much visually (though with huge wings and wide bodies they’re not as similar as they used to be), but under the skin. Lift the bonnet and there’s an engine mounted in a tubular subframe, the suspension is a collection of…

The Morgan is an inspired suggestion. I’ve not yet driven a car that suggests you give less of a toss about anything else in your life. I’ve not yet driven one in the rain, but it’s definitely a car you can’t help but smile while driving. Ex? Who was that again?

Easily NP at that price. I was expecting a number far bigger, as the rarity of these means most people seem to over-charge for them.

With babies, I’m not sure it’s learning so much as their lack of development - it could be that the inner ear isn’t fully developed as a baby. Anyway, it’s not like babies don’t have enough things to throw up over anyway.

Oddly, never had this even slightly. I think it’s partly because I’ve grown up playing video games, and many were first-person. My body just got used to it.

I get motion sickness and my job requires me to travel by plane quite frequently, maybe once a month at least, and I have done for the last four or five years. Recipe for disaster, were it not for three things that have pretty much eliminated the problem for me.

Yup. For the price, the performance and improvement in reliability, this’d be well worth it - but the cheap NASCAR-style innards ruin its appeal somewhat.

I’m only a casual fan, but one of the problems here looked to be the huge bunching of cars all fighting for position on the very last lap - presumably there’d been a caution the lap before?

Counterpoint: Cars are fun and you should buy and enjoy whatever the heck you want.

Thank you for pointing this out. It’s satisfying to see not everyone in the Jalopnik universe wants to bash the CR-Z at every opportunity.

and makes a noise both unlike and better than any Mazda Miata in existence

The Lotus Espirit looks a lot like the Lotus Esprit.

Whenever I look for them they’re certainly more than that, though they’re not as easily accessible here in the UK as they seem to be in the US. It’s like the real classic car market has infected models too. That, and places like eBay have become shops where people charge whatever the hell they want rather than letting…

A truly fantastic car that Civic, but one of the most iconic in any videogame? Even just in the GT series? Not even close - I’d say the regular NSXs, Skyline GT-Rs, Supras, JGTC stuff, the Escudo above... even the Daihatsu Midget II, are probably better-known videogame cars.

As a casual collector not willing to part with particularly big sums of cash for diecast cars, the price of a Hot Wheels 2000GT makes it essentially as unattainable as the real thing for me.

I quite like that the Beetle is a Golf in a more interesting costume. The Golf does lots of things very well, apart from being interesting. No, the Beetle isn’t “quirky” in the sense that there’s a bunch of stuff wrong with it, but I don’t see the problem with VW making a less-boring Golf. Sure, you lose out on a bit…

It does sound good, but not better than any V6 on the planet. Drove one back-to-back with a late-model NSX last year - preferred the Honda. The Jag is all artfully-tuned exhaust pops and crackles. The NSX is a glorious cacophony of induction noise right behind your head.

Budget 300SL. I like it.

I don’t hate the Juke. I especially don’t hate one in purple.
