I wholeheartedly agree. On nice days, my wife and I carpool in our Austin Healey 3000. Sitting in traffic is never more fun than when in a cool car. A side benefit is seeing people wake up and smile as they see the cool, fun car in the see of pavement colored Accords, Malibus, and Camrys.

Benjamin, your headline word choice is blunting much of the positive impact your article otherwise would have had. Come on, this fellow wasn't murdered, he tragically died in action behind the wheel.

People should learn to drive a manual transmission because they would otherwise miss out on the fun of driving things like this.

That engine would look so nice in my Big Healey.

Crack Pipe. It hasn't been registered since 1991, every piece of rubber is dry and brittle. It could be a legitimate 4 digit miles car, it still has its TRX wheels and tires, those awful things usually saw few miles before being replaced.

The guy that owns the first Gt350 drives it. I've seen it street parked. Nice guy.

By riding my bicycle.

Any chance of the USA Top Gear presenters ever appearing on Top Gear UK? Also, as you're a closet American, what's your favorite American food?

Came here to say "Miata". I've stacked many tires and gear in and on mine. They are self contained recreational hoon vehicles.

My favorite free LeMons mod we have made to Pujo! the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys' Peugeot 505 turbo S was the free washers we made using a drill press and nickels stolen from the vending machine in the workshop space we were borrowing.

How did that Seattle driver get a Ferrari in London?

Very sad. As the frequent driver of a 1960 open top sports car, I like to remind people that a minor fender bender for them would put me in the hospital. Let's hope the knucklehead responsible spends a long time in jail and loses everything in a civil suit.

Well said. I support anything that allows for the consumption of better wine. An efficient commute and carry appliance is a good thing. I don't mind spending money on gas for the cars I care about driving (Big Healey, Miata, LeMons junker). I do not like that our commuter gets only about 20 or so MPG and requires…

Bravo.

Congratulations Sam! When will we start seeing your and John's content? Web viewable, or do I need to touch paper?

Makes me happy too. My wife and I would be crushed if our Healey were stolen. Cars like this become like family members; you never get over losing it. The Miata and our Healey are forever cars.

The multiple flashes used are making it looked shopped. It's not.

Not sure I understand why this guy is putting on the smoke show. Is his truck in poor tune?

What a catch. Nice ass and can turn a wrench.

This. The 500 Abarth is an amazingly fun car to drive on the track and through the cones. It is similar to the Miata in that it is fun stock, but is begging to be modified.
