IIRC 3rd Gen Corvettes had radios this way, too. So it wasn’t completely alien for GM.

You can buy them more cheaply and import them into Canada than this obscene purchase price. They are half or less than half that price in the EU.

BMW 645Ci. They can be had in auto or manual or SMG. Super comfortable, all the features you can imagine and fast. Overlooked because of the BMW E63 M6 and “ugly” Bangle butt.

Indeed; it wasn’t that horrid on the E39 M5, either. I just had to replace the external pump/valve on my E63 645Ci and it was cakewalk as soon as I picked up a proper hose clamp tool.

Also for #3 on your list; use a real suspension kit to lower the car and not a hacksaw to the springs.

Indy (and since IMS has some different management) would welcome F1 back without batting an eyelash. The community loved it.

Not that bad. £1100/yr.

You’re right, but it’s a mess and likely won’t make it through MOT next year.

And EU market regulations and CO2 taxes make the 2.3L ecoboost much more economical to own/drive than the 5.0L V8. There is a waiting list for the RHD Mustangs in the UK. Starting in April 2017 the taxes go up by quite a bit.

The only way this photo could be more British is if the Queen was sitting on the bumper eating some scones.

Nogaro Blue 1962 Impala.

St. Bernadus is tasty. It’s supposedly the same recipe and brewing methods as Westvleteren but is commercially available (other than visiting the brewery.)

I took the tour at Cantillon last weekend. The Geueze and Framboise Lambic are great.

Education was more rigorous during the Soviet era on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain.

Excellent taste/driveway.

It’s interesting to see Duterte go all lovey-dovey with China after The Hague ruled that China’s building of artificial islands within the Philippines’ waters was illegal. Maybe his actions are planned this way as a method of defusing tensions?

co-worker loves his Navara. It’s a 2.5 diesel, so not a US-spec ride.

They are heavy, but I’m thinking there is a typo there for the torque.
