Which still sucks, but it's still better than killing some poor innocent soul.

I will celebrate it by doing burnouts and revving my Clio until it cuts injection.

Mini Cabrio.

Renault 4L.

The J79 was an engine designed for maximum thrust for the longest time possible, since it powered either the Mad Missile With a Man In It F-104 or the big fat (for the age) Double Ugly Phantom.

Another fun fact: it actually burns less fuel the faster it goes. Kelly Johnson's masterpiece.

Interservice rivalry at its finest.

Targa Florio and Manx TT are the most chilling racing experiences known to man.

Check mate.

Renault 21. So 80s it only plays Huey Lewis and the News on the radio.

A Pegaso Z102 Berlineta (yes, just one "t") Touring.

The GTI was a real Q-car for the times.

Lucky guy your buddy.

When was the last time you saw a Mercedes Fintail?

The Diesel engined BX was nearly unkillable. It used to be the car of choice for the Spanish Police and Guardia Civil during the 80s.

Bonus points if it's a Typ 3, based on the VW 1500 instead of the Typ 1 which was based on the Beetle.

Valentina Vladimirovna is a truly remarkable woman. At her 75 years old she has a mind as lucid and clear as can be, and she is a true pleasure to talk with (even when putting up with the broken Russian of a Spanish engineering student who asked too many questions). I don't believe for a moment she was on the verge of…

Yes: that's what Spain as a country is. A bigger, stronger Italy with less prestige and panache.

This makes me several kinds of sad. The DS was made to be a shark-nosed goddess of the road, not a derelict nymph of the forest.

An Ondine, most probably.
