THIS gives owners a good excuse when they’re caught hunched over in the garage making furious repetitive movements with their hand, an open tub of some clear substance next to them.

Wall Street sees problems with the potential unionization of Tesla?

MERIT is relative. When Model T’s went on sale a horse was faster, easier to care for, and more affordable. But as technology progressed and infrastructure increased the combustion engined car took over. Traditional car manufacturers and fossil fuel conglomerates still get a lot of subsidies and incentives that keep…

I think we call that a CC here in Australia. The last model of the original 124 Coupe they produced back in the day. Here they’re becoming extremely rare if not impossible to find - all already owned, or raced to death. The one I restored was more of a hollow shell but the impact damage to this one makes it look like a…

Hey thank you, I think so too - will always be something I’m proud of, even though I never sorted it out completely. The smell of petrol in the cabin, the heat from the transmission tunnel despite the insulation, the coconut husk stuffing in the back seats... Hahaha!

IN 2013 I restored a 1972 Fiat 124 BC Coupe (with tons of help from some very good friends) and used it as my daily driver and only vehicle for 5 years. When originally released it came standard with 5-speed gearbox, twin-cam engine, and four-wheel disk brakes. It’s light, rorty, fun to drive and has amazing all-round…

OK I can understand that, if someone is dodgy. But do they really think Arnold Schwarzenegger is walking around using stolen credit cards?

I wish a lot more of your nation’s decision-making and problem-solving was allocated to NASA. They extract maximum bang for funding bucks. They believe in science. They have a sense of humor. And a broad objective for the good of all mankind.

Yeah that’s like a special ‘Fuck you’ to anybody hit with this kind of fine. Just to tip you over the edge after you’ve already been detained and fined.

Many airports offer VIP or premium services for exclusive travelers. This may include expedited security, dedicated terminal access, dedicted customs clearance and check-in check-out counters, and exclusive lounges.
If you’ve spent decades going with this process, either you or your minders could get blase about the…

Oi!

In Australia we have Royals and Wagon Wheels

IT’S WEIRD that the little psychedelic drug use I hear about these days is connected to increasingly radicalised right-wing thinking in folk like Rogan and Musk, rather than the peace and love hippy outlook.

MY SUSPICION is that a Rolls Royce or Bentley could be like an ancestral pile for the unwary. Paying for the yearly upkeep will ruin you.

I WAS in my local pharmacy one day, waiting for an elderly gent who was haggling with the pharmacist over the price of every medication. Wanting a discount, complaining, carrying on.

That’s great information - thanks for taking the time to reply. I learned something.

WHAT HAPPENED to the Japanese production ethic that powered their recovery from WWII through to the 80's and 90's? When reliability was a byword for their auto and other industries?

I love Aston Martin, but in this case I prefer the Volvo P1800 - apart from the grille.

All MANUFACTURED in the US and Mexico, except one in Ontario and one in Sweden.
