So, the thing is, you’re being paid to write on this blog, so obviously you know more about the goals of this blog than me, so I’m a bit hesitant to write this as it might come over as dickish.

nobody cares about the u20 games. It sounds important but isn't

I find the GT40 thing exemplary of very very poor sportsmanship by Ford. People should race to win, not to make others lose. (This is also the reason Lance Armstrong is despised, while Pantani is revered among cycling fans). Ford backed out of Le Mans after the GT40’s couldn’t compete anymore. But they figured they…

Nope, Ford backed out after they made their ‘point’, which is just poor sportsmanship if you ask me. Some people race because they want to win, some just because they want others to lose.

Another notable manufacturer was MATRA. I especially like their Le Mans wins because they showed that an aerospace company needed just 10 years to win not only in F1, but also in Le Mans multiple times. Also, their V12 sounds brilliant.

The rules stated that a mfg needed to make at least 25 cars of a model before they could run it with an engine larger than 4 liters. This was to keep costs and speeds down. Enter the Porsche 917!

I also like the Dauer 962 entered by Porsche using a ‘gt car’ loophole used by Porsche to enter a 962 as a GT car and taking the 1994 Le Mans win. The 962 design was a decade old by then.

Stepping on lego bricks is only a thing in the US it seems. At least, it’s never been a ‘thing’ here in the netherlands. Stepping on tiny sharp things hurts. We get it.

Usually owatrol oil is advised for very old bicycle frames. Don’t use anything harsh, the original paint is valuable.

Americans often read articles about Chevy sales in Europe or China. “Low volume” often appears in the articles.

I have heard nothing of good things about the reliability of the Multipla.

If I’d read on an European website that Chevrolet has never been a volume seller without any caveat, I’d call them out as well, and I’d guess you would too. The US has never been Alfa’s focus. Alfa Romeo back when they were a volume seller, were focussed on mainland Europe, and Italy in particular. They sold a lot of…

Alfa has made some gorgeous and technically interesting production cars in the last 50 years, but they never sold in high volume

Because you took the effort to declare your pictures better, a counterpoint by way of linking to someone else who already took the time to explain why selective color is as bad as calling a camry grounded to the ground.

Believe it or not, the 944 was the ‘numbers’ car back in the day. True driving aficionados bought the Matra Murena, which wasn’t as powerful or fast in a straight line, but made up for that with mid-engined cornering brilliance, three seats up front, less rust and better styling.

Yeah, but anything less than chirping tires is terrible loss of form when driving a muscle- or ponycar.

Fun fact, current vintage racing Jags are way more powerful then they were back in the day.

The only reason these don’t have to conform to crash standards is that nobody is happy the occupants are alive, not even lawmakers and everyone will do anything to speed up the demise of these cunts.

Well, the car pictured is a 1750 GTV. This bodystyle was called Giulia Sprint GT, Giulia Sprint GT Veloce, 1750 GTV, 2000 GTV, GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior.

This is an Alfa Bertone Coupe.
