The radiator cap fell by the radiator. “Hey, there’s more than enough room to stick my hand down there and grab the cap.”

The side markers are a very easy modification to make. Though, I admit I went the easier route and just got Mk6 quarter panels.

Good ‘ol John “Smokey” Rhodes. A true hero.

Just to let you know, all MK3-MK6 (1969-1992) Minis have the exact same dimension body panels and all the same mount points for all mechanics. All they did was change out the engine in 1988 in most models (and 1990 in all of them). They added impact bars in the doors around the same time, as well as a few other small…

I have a green machine friend, and he thinks that color name is machinist.

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:
