This is pretty much vapourware at the moment. First up, the photo doesn't show a front wheel motor, because it's just a suggestion by Hero's marketing department at the moment. Second, I don't think anyone has made a successful true diesel cycle engine smaller than about 350cc, and that only produces about 6hp at…
Me too, and therefore U2's appearance in this category is completely wrong. (Though without a specific category for 'boorish self-important douchebags' I guess it was as good a category for them as any)
...and the CX was in turn based on the BMC 1800 Berlina Aerodynamica that Pininfarina built in 1967. So Lincoln's futuristic concept was actually closer to 16 years old when it made its debut in 1983.
Oh, and the Cologne V6 wasn't too bad. It was the UK-market Essex V6 (usually 3 litres) that was the total dog.
Yeah, the Flash Gordon one hasn't quite got the same artistic merit as the 'Yes' one, has it?
Is the upper one by Roger Dean?
That would have made a good incident report.
I think that 'Series' landies and Defenders / 110s we're designed to wade up to the tops of the wheelarches as long as the 'wading plug' is installed in the bottom of the clutch housing and/or timing case, depending on the engine spec. At that depth, you will be about up to…
I think the VX were all supercharged, rather than turbocharged. VX was short for 'Volumex' if I remember right. They came out in the UK just before Fiat pulled the plug on the whole Lancia brand, bought back any remaining cars and crushed them. They had to, because if they didn't, all the front cross members would rot…
" called penitentes, after a local religious order whose members wear spiked white hoods."
Indeed! The motor vehicle to iron oxide conversion rate was pretty impressive. A great shame, because they were incredibly cheap to run, and actually great fun to drive, like a slightly less leaky 2CV. The good news is that 59 of them donated their engines, gearboxes and front suspensions for the construction of these…
Better still, the original ID19 version, like the one in 'Buffy' is pronounced 'ee-day', which is French for 'idea'.
Daewoo isn't dead, it's just churning out incredibly crappy budget cars for markets all over the world. The Chevrolet Aveo (Daewoo Kalos) I currently drive is without doubt the worst car I have ever owned, worse even than the 1978 Renault 4TL whose back axle broke off the chassis and the 2004 Citroen C4 Pluriel that…
And especially especially a 928 with the 5-speed stick. However if I had bought one new I would have been a bit peed off that the dash looked exactly like the one out of a VW Eurovan!

Best GIF ever, from the 'Roobarb and Custard' school of animation.
There's actually quite a bit of Brooklands still in existence, though sadly not enough to race on. However, Concorde wasn't made there, it was made at the BAC plant in Filton, near Bristol and also at Aerospatiale in Toulouse, southern France.
It saves a lot of time and money to operate the train 'push-pull', but it is potentially very dangerous to have most of the inertia at the back when in 'push' mode. This type of working was banned on the Edinburgh to Glasgow line in Scotland after a serious accident where the unpowered end of the train hit cattle on…
