And I just saw the preface was done by none other than Jacky Ickx !!

Thanks ! I'll look into it.

I got none, but I'm really lusting after Daniel Simon's books, The Timeless Racer and Cosmic Motors.

Test drove a P85 a few months back, completely changed my vision of the electric car. Now I want one.

Well, that's funny. I live in Aix-en-Provence, France and the furthest cities are all in New Zealand, for which I'll leave France in a month or so.

Have we all forgottent about the Gallardo SuperTrofeo that took part in Targe High Country (Australian tarmac rally) and decided it would look better with fire coming out of its ass? That was badass!

WHAT IS THAT !?

And the Mini is still an heavy car, especially when you campare it to similar car. A Peugeot 208 is at least 70 lbs lighter in its heaviest model, and up to more than 400 lbs lighter. A Ford Fiesta is at least 330 lbs lighter than a brand new Mini. Quite an heavy car. And the 2-series is weighs 600 lbs more, with that…

For someone who doesn't want to settle for the next least powerful 2-series (aka the 218d), it could be great. Now if only it was lighter, something like 1200 kg at most would be awesome.

I didn't they made an hybrid Humvee, that's quite cool. As you've said, it stands to reason, so it's weird their have been no major production of hybrid trucks designed to improve low end torque. I think it could be great on a pick-up.

I was exactly thinking that.

Neutral: EV Trucks? What are your thoughts?

Like this one below. It looks fabulous, a bit pricey, at 5000 €, but it has less than 100,000 miles on it.

And he could go as low as you wanted, so you could say Citroën kind of invented stanced cars

We will see in a few weeks then.

Long wheel base XJ supercharged then. But then again, if you're driving, why would you embarass yourself with a super-sedan ? Just get the damn Aston martin!

And let's say his scouting of the getaway route would not be the msot subtle

What about these ? Tracked ambulances made out of regular 4x4s !

Daniel Elena is not co-driving on this one. Loeb is going to race with his wife in the passenger seat.

A lot of people are giving shit to the SNCF. Thing is, the vast majority of delays are caused by factors they can not control (last time I took the TGV, early october, a train in front of us had hit an animal). Strike is something different, but they always warn people they are going on strike and when.
