Actually a British military vehicle. The Royal Navy bought a batch from the Citroen factory in Slough, west of London. Not sure what they thought they would do with them, but there are a few photos around of them parked up on a Carrier deck.

OK, I understand the camera bit, but why is he carrying a can of Spam on the other side?

yep, Pininfarina did quite a few cars for the British Motor Corporation in the late 50s. The A40 and it's predecessors the A30 and A35 were the platform that the Austin Healey Sprite and MG Midget were based on. Hence a ready supply of tuning bits is still available. Don't bend any of those body panels, though, as…

it's a Citroen. The astronomical repair bills start about 5 hours after the end of the warranty period.

So did this one.

Liege kit car! Never thought I would see one of those on Jalopnik. Wonderful little 850cc trials car. Only a few dozen were ever built.

I think the very last models had unassisted inboard disks, cooled by two special ducts from the engine fan. They were just as crap as the drums, though, so 'powerful' probably wasn't the best adjective. But hey, at the time Citroen were advertising 'four round wheels' as a desirable feature.....

As an alternate approach, British engine genius Allen Millyard built a 5 litre V-twin motorbike engine using two cylinders from a Pratt & Whitney Aero engine. (He has also built V-8 and V-12 Kawasakis and even put a Viper V-10 in a bike frame.)

OK, for you and the other tragic products of the US public education system that have made ignorant comments on the atmospheric impact of burning firewood, I am going to explain this v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.

Please read a biology textbook. I am sick of trying to explain the principle of the Carbon Cycle in this thread.

Good comment. However, when you watch apes or other mammals grooming each other, it looks very egalitarian. Everyone grooms and gets groomed in return. FB seems to be increasingly filled with people posting worthless shit just to get attention in the form of 'likes' or positive responses. More and more people seem…

see my response a few comments up. It's releasing CO2 that was taken from the atmosphere a few years ago.

it's CO2 that was captured from the atmosphere in the first place. I don't want to get all 'Circle of Lifey' about this, but the whole point of burning biomass is that you are just recycling carbon. CO2 in the atmosphere gets converted into carbon compounds in the wood, which are burnt and converted back to CO2,…

I think you might have missed the point. Living plants never give off as much CO2 as they have captured, otherwise they couldn't grow. You do know that a tree is mostly made of carbon, don't you? When you burn a tree, you are only releasing the carbon they captured during their lifetime back into the atmosphere, in…

You're right. Incredibly wasteful. Here in Nova Scotia guys will pay you to remove trees from your development lot, as the firewood is far too valuable to throw away. You can heat a 2000 square foot house all winter with about $500 worth of firewood, and the CO2 footprint is only from the truck that brings it to…

Or the Pinzgauer's baby brother - The Haflinger...

I think the film makers have caught a time-travelling Fiat Panda in this movie. Because I can't believe that there really is a 1990 model still in existence anywhere in the UK.
