Beat me to it, but I am a bit biased. The B isn't referred to as the grandfather of the Miata for no reason....because British Racecar!
ATTENTION! The holy grail of Jalop crapcan cars has been found!!! A 58' Ford Edsel...ok...good start. Let's make it a station wagon...done. Now, let's turn that station wagon into a (poorly made) pickup truck...Truck Yeah! Now, let's power it with a Mercedes diesel....like a unicorn farting blue smoke! Does such…
I think it is getting to the point that we need a Jalopy infographic to break down the different models and variations...this is getting out of hand...So now we have a 4 dour version of the coupe version of the sedan version?
Now that is COTD worthy...
Or, buy a V8 swapped MGB and start saving loose change for your tire fund!
I'd say the Coupe des Alpes....2000+ miles of mountain passes in what were essentially completely stock cars straight out of the showroom! http://jalopnik.com/5134175/56-tea…
Came across this little jem while driving through Arkansas...frankly, I was too afraid to stop.

You'd be amazed what you can find under 20k with less than 20k miles on the clock. I picked up a…
I'm happy that the V8 Dodge Magnums fly under the radar...I picked mine up ridiculously cheap with 12k miles on the clock and completely optioned out. A 425 hp V8 in a wagon that isn't north of $60k like the Euros...sign me up all day long. Yes, the thing weighs two tons, but I hauled ass to the lumber yard this…
One word....Barchetta!
Ralph Giles would never do such a thing!
Yeah, because actual science is such a meh thing. How you feel about the RF interference levels and their effect on sensitive and complex navigation equipment is much more important, than, you know, facts. http://spectrum.ieee.org/aerospace/avia…
Damn...beat me to it!
Well, Texas does have the Big Bend Open Road race. 120 miles on a shut down highway in the Texas desert with an unlimited class. 200 is exceeded on a regular basis..this year someone hit traps at 209 mph in a freaking Corvair... http://www.bborr.com/
I still say Eric Bana would be perfect, yes, he's an Aussie, but he can do an American accent and he is a certified Ford nut....
Or Andy Garcia....
Or Eric Bana...also a certified car nut with the credentials to prove it....
