Definitely not the same height, but still awesome!

Wow. I just realized that. I'm sure the height may be out of proportion, but I know this is the original poster made from the press photo. Someone probably took the poster and tried to remove the writing.

Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes. There's not many budget cars out there with press photos like this:

Adam Carolla always lets "Jesus take the wheel" in the even of a crash or spin-out. 'Cause, you know... Adam Carolla.

...

Just what came to mind. It's a weird emotion seeing someone do something like that to such a wonderful car.

I would have wanted to sit in the car, just fondle it, high five the man when he'd return, punch him in the face, shake his wife's hand, put my pants back on and thank them both kindly.

I am less than 1000 feet away from the stage where this is being mixed. And every day, solely due to my proximity, I feel I should apologize to my friends an family. Every day.

Um... Yeah... With the size of those turbos, I doubt the power numbers are real. The numbers are probably calculated, and may very well be correct. But, unless they somehow manually locked the steering column, for when the turbos kick in at high revs... This FWD "car" is probably impossible to dyno correctly. If

Oh, yeah... But still, where can you find a Merkur XR4Ti for under $1000? Or even $1000 (with a working motor)?

Where in god's name can you find a Ford Sierra for under $1000?

Does it count if the actual window is porthole-like?

Yep, you're right. It's what I get for going off of memory alone. I thought I had played all the Gran Turismo games before. Guess I missed the first.

Do you have any sources for that? I remember GT1 having a Mk1 Mini, but everything since then has been the Mini 1.3i, which was a Rover from the 90's.

Gran Turismo 1 was the only game to have a pre-90's Mini. I don't understand it. With all the historic racers... No John Cooper Works rally cars from the 60's?

It might get a Lunar Rover, but it looks like there won't be any truly classic variants of the Mini. There is a Mini Marcos. Which, don't get me wrong, is awesome.

Oh em gee. I want it so bad. It'd be the perfect Frankenstein motor for a Mini.
