Oh yeah, there’s no way they’re going to sell 150k, no matter what they do. I ignored that particular fantasy.

It’s a Shuppan-Porsche 962C/R/LM (There is some debate over the name). One of two in the world, I believe. Schuppan went on to produce as many as 6 re-bodied 962CR. Guess which country I’ve seen one of them in?

Alfa needs to achieve 3 things: Style, High Quality and Profitability.

I spent a lot of my free time in Japan being amazed at the cars which were rolling around. I need to dig out my photos and sort through them for the highlights. Here’s one shot on a very low-res digital camera about 13 years ago:

Some of the more ornate Japanese Hearses are pretty amazing devices.

Good old Bristol-BMW. The circle is complete.

Wow! It’s exactly the same age as me (March ‘74), although it must have aged better, as it’s considered fashionable even in the future Mars colony. Great find, TFritch!

Wow, that guy can talk. He occasionally paused long enough for Travis to speak. Very occasionally.

I’m going to speculate wildly (this is the internet, after all) and guess that the roof parking area is where they hide the part-exchange vehicles prior to preparation or shipping out to auctions if they’re too old or not Audi enough to get a prime spot out front.

Follow-up article: Which cars’ appearances were ruined by having to conform to revised federal regulations half way through their lifespans?

Gotcha. I’ll cross that one off the list.

The Z needs an S little brother, just like the olden days (well, the ‘90s). However, Nissan are insisting that such a thing makes something called a “profit”, and they haven’t figured out how to do that yet.

I’m not sure I understand, Travis. Did you like it or not?

Er, what? The French Government just strong-armed him, but I don’t see him declaring war on them any time soon.

The Nissan Patrol has clearly overtaken the Toyota Land Cruiser as the developing-world dictatorial psychotic despot’s vehicle of choice. I’m not sure how Nissan will feel about this news.

At first I thought all the images in today’s Morning Shift would be Miatas. Opportunity missed, Travis.

This car wasn’t actually taking part in the Time Attack competition, it was doing a demonstration at an event where lots of different vehicle types were on track.

I did something similar while snowboarding. Tripped off the side of the ramp and fell 8 feet straight down. Dislocated my shoulder. Ouch. Didn’t get wedged, though. That would have added embarrassment to injury.

A bitter, scathing review. Why do you hate so much, Travis? Has Chris Harris poisoned your mind? Oh no, wait, it’s OK. Wow...

No Livestream, but the Social Media platform du jour of Periscope is getting some use. NISMO have been broadcasting their shakedown today on it.
