The cars that just straight up oozed cool came out the 50s. Most economies were booming, but the building of the Cold War forced distraction, and the Suez Oil Crisis forced ingenuity. You could just about find any type of car you could want.

I’ve always been compelled to take these sorts of pictures.

The one, in this video, with the plate “72 HONDA” used to be parked at my work for so long. I would oogle that thing every single morning and night.

In the world of Minis, when bought used, knowing what part your car needs is nigh impossible to be sure of unless you can take it out, measure it and compare/contrast it to other parts. And it’s that last compare/contrast bit that usually can’t be done, since most parts come from out of the country.

I want this inside my pants... Now.

Yep, that’s a Wolseley Hornet.

I almost bought an Elf when I originally went to the Mini dealership, so glad I got a Cooper instead. Still want that Elf, though. Old English White, Ox Blood vinyl interior, walnut dash (with glove box!)... Shit. Regrets. But no regrets. 848cc vs my Cooper’s 1275cc, I think I made a good…

FYI, it’s not a Cooper. It’s a 1989 Mini Mayfair

Why not a car that is as bland as a Toyota but hung like a Mercedes?

I don’t think I’m good at this. My list of top 30 cars only adds up to about $550,000

I want to own every model of classic Mini there ever was, even the unofficial ones... And I specifically want some duplicates of them in the Spanish, Italian, Australian and Japanese special colors. So, I completely understand this fellow’s obsession. Now all I need is this fellow’s money.

The in the 1920s Hispano-Suiza boat motors have got to be some of the best. It might not be in a car, but daaaaaaamn.

If this (‘87 Mercedes 420SEL):

Coming up on an intersection, I saw a Toyota Cressida (body kit, gold rims, coffee cans and all) and a BMW 840, in my rear-view mirror, speeding up behind me while trying to play bumper cars, side by side. The both come around on the wrong side of the road, cut me off, slam on the brakes (because the small island and…

Is it just me, or does this seem a bit too “boy-racer” for a Volvo? If they wanted to showcase the bare speaker, they should have at least had it match the surroundings.

The only thing I want to know:

Nice to see Honda’s getting on the “rear visibility’s for pussies” bandwagon. /s

Only the one offs, I’d be too afraid. But even with a Miura or an F1, I would let other people drive, as long as I trust in them to have the insurance. I’m not an asshole. I just know cars like these two are irreplaceable in every sense of the word, so I’d only give myself the responsibility to keep it in good driving…

Some people like this, and I don’t know why.
