I’m more angry at the rich twats who bribe politicians into making dealer franchise laws.

Not as troubling as this headline:

Seems just a little Draconian.

Beautiful car, but this particular model could use some paint-correction.

That lion looks... hungry.

I can probably hazard a guess what aroused the poacher suspicion. Brand new truck presumably without any signs of wear. It meant you are well-funded or well-connected.

A bit E-type-ish. In additional to Mark Tucker’s comment about the windscreen, I think the “scoop” in the bonnet is a miscalculation as well. No need to “scoop” and “spoiler” cars that are naturally beautiful to start with.

The Mercedes vans should make a great addition- just don’t test them for emissions.

Not feeling the wheels and tire set-up.

Hmm, you may or not be old enough to remember this, but remember the Sterling 825? They were Honda mechanicals with British Leyland-supplied electricals. Technically that might have passed the wife-test back then, but I would wager that the chances are low that any the couples in whch the husband bought one of these ar…

Damn that car is still gorgeous, all these years later.

Still not convinced of the long-term viability for this vehicle. The Miata gets by partially because it’s a convertible. The Nissan 240Z was basically the same idea 20 years earlier, and it didn’t sell enough either.

Remember the military trains for everything. They even have gas chamber training as part of basic.

True, but there’s still training, etc.

I didn’t see much about ear-protection for the operator-seated model; I’m assuming that was mandatory for operation. Those must have been some serious headphones.

So I musk ask. If TUV testing is as rigorous as described (and all indications here and elsewhere are that it is), how in the world did Volkswagen and Mercedes get away with cheating with their diesel emissions?

Technically not car-racing, but “race” movies

“Jaunty Jalopies” sounds like a Ubuntu version name.

I think Cannonball Run may have been largely responsible for introducing me to the Lamborghini Countach, and of course, every eighties kid had a Countach poster on their wall.

Definitely did not know this, cheers!
