I thought Svartpilen was the “black arrow” model.
Vitpilen means “white arrow” and was the cafe racer model.

+1 with the seething jealousy.
I had to ride to work all last week due to, err, under-availability of running cars. I was freezing, I got soaked, I got muddy, I had to clean the bike each night because the salt has definitely been down...
Gawd, I watched this when it was originally broadcast!
And I remember my Dad talking about how it really was like this for guys he knew. Guys who left their jobs because they got a 1.4 Escort instead of a 1.8 or whatever.
Came here to post this.
I owe you a beer!
I’ve watched the original movie dozens of times, I’ve (probably illegally) given it to dozens of pals and I’m spending an evening next week watching it with a couple of pals and some beers while I try to convince them to engage in a build-off and hundred mile ride out.
I enjoyed it and I continue to get a lot out of it.
You should see what Wrenchmonkees in Copenhagen can do with a Goldwing. I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced one since I saw theirs.
I found one too but I mentioned to the seller I was going to talek all the body off and he wouldn’t sell it to me. Told me to fuck off and not to phone back.
All of the affected cars should have had their first MOT by now so, as you say, they’ll be fine.

Then the “possible lift off oversteer” turned into “a couple of people died”.
This is a different situation but I can see what you mean.
I used to live around the corner from the Mews but had no idea about the Ecurie Ecosse connection until I read it on here.
I’d be happy to support your campaign for a plaque, let me know if I can do anything.
I bought not quite brand new IS200 from the local Lexus dealer. They recalled it for the ‘unintended acceleration’ bollocks and while it was in the service manager called and asked if there was anything else they could look at for me while they had it. I observed that the windnoise around the driver’s door was…
First time I did it was an accident, I was in a sketchy part of Africa and wanted a room in the main block but misunderstood the local currency and accidentally gave the guy equivalent to $80 instead of about $10. He moved heaven and earth for me every time I stayed there over the next three years.
After seeing the…
I think he maybe means the shite weather compared with some other places.
Or the scrappage scheme?
I suggested this to the guy I usually buy from on The Silk Road and he blocked me from contacting him, weirdo...

Excellent stuff.
This car is screaming out for a VW 1300 flat four.
Preach it, brother!
This is factory approved badge fantasy.
This car would be a thousand times more honest of M-B just said "Look: it's got 360 horses from a twin turbo V6, we're calling it a C300, give us your money or fuck off".
Dual purpose exhausts/wheel barrow handles for when it catches fire and needs to be wheeled off the road.
It makes you look like a parody of a Russian TV anchor.
I thought that FI and turbo would take points OFF.
Seems we all have different ideas of what Jalop means.
