Adjusting the Mechanical Fuel Injection on my W111 coupe. If one rod is slightly bent, or you don't follow the process down stream exactly as zee Germans dictate, or God forbid you turn the little knurled knob that looks like you're supposed to turn it exactly because it is knurled, then you may as well start all…

The article said they didn't pass them off as real and customers knew they were buying fakes, so I believe the issue was that the company was using trademarks illegally such as adding the logos and badging to cars before they were sold. Did you ever see those old Gullwing replicas and even pedal cars in ads from the…

Nailed it.

I saw one of these Bond cars fitted with the fins in place of the wheels on display at the Petersen Museum maybe 8-10 years ago. If memory serves it appeared to be a fiberglass shell but it could have been based on a real Esprit. Does anyone know which car that was?

"And yet somehow, the masochists that purchased this model have the highest return rate to buy another Mercedes Benz of any other model they've ever put out."

I can relate a little:

Torch, can you inquire and find out where Hasting's car is being stored so you could see it in person? I wonder if they would allow you to photograph the aftermath, seems that would clear up a lot of the speculation. Not that I feel it is very likely that would be allowed. On a personal note, this is pretty crazy…

It's an even better optioned plane, it comes with a DeLorean.

I was living in NYC when this happened. I don't have a theory about what happened but I still remember very clearly a very unusual incident concerning this crash. A local news station, NY1 if I recall, stated the day of or the day after this happened that there were reports from other airliner pilots stating that they…

The title says Ferrari but those all seem to be Panteras.

Series III mirrors on a Series II XJ?

Are you coming through Portland or the coastal highways? If near Portland you should check out Mt. Hood east of the city an hour or so. It's a nice day trip and you can ski or indulge in other snow sports but the real gem is the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, the original hotel used for the exterior B-roll for The…

Right now I'm in Vancouver (which I hear is in Canada), but will be heading south into "Oregon" and then back into Seattle, Washington, DC over the course of the next week.

I was extremely fortunate to see this and several other cars belonging to Mr. Lauren at 30 Rock Plaza in NYC back in the late 90's. They were roped off in the beautiful central alley and it truly made for an imposing scene. Random tourists and locals who normally provide the faint buzz of the city fell silent as they…

Seeing as how he named his car and thus "branded" it, he may actually have a legal leg to stand on in regards to unique design (design patent). Even if he didn't patent the design already if he does now and it is contested by Paramount the Patent office will investigate and if he can substantiate when he first created…

I owned two of these and to this day still consider them perhaps the best all around cars I've ever owned. I'm comparing it to a Porsche, Cadillac, Jaguar & Mercedes I've had just to clarify how special these cars are.

My first car was a 1957 with only 50k miles on her. I will disagree that they did come with quite a few other safety features such as an auto dimming headlight system that utilized a large pod-mounted lens on the dash. Of course it was ahead of it's time in other ways too such as power seats, power windows, power…

I saw Lucas approach the jet pack guy at the Rose Festival parade he was the Grand Marshall for and even tho all my dreams of a real-life Boba Fett seemed to be finally happening right before my very eyes, nothing seems to have come of it. He's just being a tease, but did he base the Pod Racers on F1?

Sorry but I will say that growing up in a multi-car household (8-10 cars at any given time for both parents and my two siblings) it is an extremely useful little dab of paint. I also drive friend's cars often since to some of them driving is a chore and they would prefer a chauffeur, and I have no problems enjoying…

It depends on the jurisdiction, the driver's manual for Oregon states that the right lane is for entering and exiting, the left lane is for passing so the middle lane is the appropriate lane for driving until you are either passing or preparing to exit, then you choose the appropriate lane. It actually makes the most…
