The cars are extremely rare here in the states and clean well loved cars are even rarer. Just a shade under 10k isn't bad at all, and if I had the extra coin (and a garage to keep it in) I'd pick it up for a weekend toy today.

I get the distinct feeling after watching many a Swedish hoon video, that they, the Americans/Canadians and the Aussies, are all very very similar car people. Makes me drool at the thought if designers from all 4 countries got together to create a car. Imagine the the possibilities for instant tire and polar ice cap…
I love this for all sorts of reasons. I mean it's a big V12 Benz. It's got a full interior minus the driver's seat, and it's cleaner inside and out than 99.99% of the cars at the event...including alot of the ones in the parking lot. Hell, Climate control, FTW!
@DoctorNine: Have to disagree. Thats about the only interior AMC ever had that lasted more than 5 years. Besides, it's a GREMLIN!
I won't comment on the price vs this that or the other. Nor performance vs something else. Not really the point of the car. This is, in alot of aspects, another Bugatti Veyron. It's an exercise in, "Can we do it?" Personally I'm not feeling the exterior design, but thats me. Otherwise, the car is quite…
Ahhhh, makes me long for the days of the center fill on my 76 Gremlin. Granted the center fill went the way of the Dodo due to the rather explosive potential it had in a rear end collision, no matter the car. #bmw335i
Somehow, not surprising. Maybe it's the fact that I STILL see fairly new Honda, Nissan and Toyota vehicles with rust forming in the usual places. Where as the domestics and Europeans seem to have gotten rust prevention down to a pretty decent rate.
@GeeHalen: Fans would only sport a 1 XL Nascar t-shirt of their choice
@Buickboy92: I'd pay double the price for something that looks like the swift death it will bring you, will be as certain and messy as going head long into the tail rotor of an Ah-64 Apache.
If Drifting had become a sport 50 years earlier, it would have looked so much cooler.
God, I remember the hell those things played with my XR4Ti. Ripped apart 3 or 4 of those things in the year and half or 2, of owning my Merk.
@jp182: Sad isn't it. Could have been a brilliant, but ugly (or if you're being nice, "Questionably styled") near luxury fwd sedan with the turbo 4. Instead they went the other direction and left you with an ugly and horrid car that will only sell based on it's brand image.
My biggest problem is that I SERIOUSLY doubt they actually TESTED most of the older cars that have now been bumped up 1mpg or so. They just applied their "formula" and went on. Ummm, as I remember that "formula" said that my previous car (98 Volvo S70 T5 5spd) should now go from the highly inaccurate 25mpg highway…
Anyone else notice that they labled the Norton as being German?
Never liked using bits of my car to open bottles, so I bought a bottle opener/cork screw combo that is dedicated to my glove box.
Good Luck to Felipe.
For this, I shall shed a tear.
Having broken my fair share of stuff, all you can do is laugh most of the time. And this is DEFINITELY one of those times to laugh. Awesome build, retarded fast in a car that was never even kind of spunky, and then your stock transmission decides to jettison at 120mph. Grats guys!
I was hoping to see something like a twin v12 powered XJS. Not THAT would be 40k worthy.
You know, I have seen a better example, that was being driven in heavy stop and go traffic, in temperatures over 65* with out overheating. Strangely enough, this was in the midwest of all places. Great looking example with a set of panasports. I was actually quite taken with it. The unfortunate thing was that I…
