Touring car racing was another victim of Mr. Ecclestone.

One of the things that puzzles me most of all is reading stories of people struggling with manual gearboxes. For us it so natural we don’t even think about it...

I drive a modern Alfa.

You can laugh as much as you want but I’ve seen family relatives completely fuck up automatic cars driving.

Never mind Canada, in Europe we endure it as well.

Soon to be a no car team.

90 in straight line would be fine, just slow down to 15 if you see any slight curvature on the road ahead.

No, it’s still Lancia but Tatra does indeed come high up the list.

Doing 140km/h was frisky. Other than that it went well.

My Alfa, with less than half de power, showed an indicated 140 on the speedo a while ago.

“Mercedes-Benz officially estimates a 4.4-second 0 to 60 sprint and has electronically limited the top speed to 130 mph.”

Nope you are wrong. My mother had one (a Renault 11 GTL actually) and we had over 200,000 reliable kilometres out of it and it survived me in the back seat.

I don’t think they were speaking of passive safety (as in crumple zones) but rather of active safety (good brakes and handling).

It is not a 3 door hatchback, but rather a 4 door hatchback.

There is one big difference. The turbo.

Another couple of reasons why we don’t buy large SUVs is because fuel is expensive and they do not fit in our tiny little roads. Today we had trouble navigating them in some cases in Mercedes-Benz GLA.

Thank god for being European.

There will, most probably, be no Fiesta RS at all.

Supercharged BRG Cooper S. I remember once in the Costa Bravan hills where a Merc ML pulled over to let the little green thing get through.

456 is one of the most elegant Ferraris ever made.
