Agree completely...the videos are still great, but the earlier ones just had a special feel to them. The old French guy with the Voison, the story of the Alfa collector, etc. Last week's was great with the New Yorker rally car because it had that personal touch and wasn't just a fluff piece for a really cool car. I…
Or, if you are on a budget, take a cheap MGB-GT, insert 2JZ, and win.
He's right...I used to build these same type of planes all the time as a teenager. Stick a camera on it and call it a drone, but it is still a spad (SimplePlasticAircraftDesign). You can even see the commonly available spring aluminum landing gear that is available at your local hobby shop, the fuselage made of…
Prices haven't changed much on Brit roadsters...as thirteenth said, check out Spitfire and Midgets as well and buy the best one you can afford. They really are solid little cars...also, girls think they are cute too and driving one shows that you aren't trying to compensate for anything!
First off, don't tell me I'm full of shit...look it up. Minimum wage didn't break $5 until 97. I was off by 3 years but still started at 4.25 in south Louisiana because private business paid what they wanted...either way, people have done this for years. Cry, moan, say it isnt fair, but in the end, sometimes you…
If you find one with minimal rust and decently maintained, they are great cars and incredibly simple to work on. I am a bit biased and mine does have a V6 swap...but the 4 banger was still a lot of fun
It's called budgeting....believe it or not, min wage used to 4.25 into the early 2000s and cars weren't really much cheaper. I saved up a couple grand for beater accord in just over a summer and still managed to scrape up enough for an 87 Escort with a hot rodded pinto engine and a roll cage for autocross duty a few…
Wow...that diagram is extremely accurate....
You should do a post on great words to use while describing these sort of things...something like a Jaloptionary!
I've got the bills to prove it. I can prove I'm a real Jalop too because I was so disappointed that afterwards we went out and bought Italian (Fiat 500) because rational decisions. The scary thing is that the Italian has been more reliable! So now my garage contains a British car, an Italian car, and a Daimler Era…
Former owner of a Mk4 Golf here...in less than 100k miles, we replaced a transmission, all 4 window regulators, the entire sunroof and drain pan assembly along with the headliner, 2 fuel pumps, fuel pressure regulator, lost count of ignition coils, the upholstery was falling apart, and the that stupid rubberized…
I know...I actually work at a major airport that sees both of these regularly but I've never had the chance to get a shot of the B in front of the 225. I'll have to dig, but I've also got some from in front of an AN-12 as well.
The last guy that could pull these off was Leslie Nielson...sadly this genre died with him. The spoof type movies made now just don't have that classic slapstick style!
Dave Smith (of FF) bought out Mark Smith's share several years ago, so while they are related, the companies aren't. As far as donor cars go, yes, they do both require donor cars, but the 818 only requires the drivetrain and suspension bits, whereas the Smyth car actually requires you to hack up and modify the Golf…
First off, don't insult me by saying my contributions aren't constructive. The 818 kit, along with FF's other kits, can theoretically be built in 250 hours or less if you are building it "by the book" and have your donor car or parts ready to go. They offer a build school in which you and 4 others build a complete…
