Here in Austria it is illegal to leave your car unlocked, because you might incite criminals that way.

I cannot find the link right now, but it seems the British care a lot about oral health, but not so much about oral looks. I remember a study that showed quite clearly British have healthier teeth than Americans, although the aesthetics may not be up to the same standard.

My thoughts exactly. The place where the radio sat in all the CXes I catched a glimpsed into is not visible in the pics, though.

I had a Lumina rental once, and while it was not an exciting car, the front bench seat was utterly perfect. It was like driving your sofa through the Southwest.

Wikipedia says they built fewer than 600 - I had no idea these are so rare. I do occasionally see one curbside-parked near my house - though DB7s are actually a more common occurrence.

A couple of years ago I read in an article about hypermiling that coasting in high gear (say sixth gear at 40 mph) is more fuel-efficient than coasting in neutral because of the fuel cut-off.

A curb-parked gullwing SL? OMG.

Whether it’s an improvement depends on the quality of the coal and the exhaust gas treatment measures that are in place at the coal-burning electricity plant. Dirty electricity can make a high-powered EV worse than a decent-MPG gas vehicle.

I remember reading a story about a guy who converts Ro80s into, well, convertibles. Once his curiosity got the better of him, and he had a car with a half-killed engine already to satisfy said curiosity. Result: Even at 12,000 rpm, the rotary runs silky-smooth.

A long time ago (some time in the early 90s) I had occasion to watch someone get into their Lotus Seven (or Caterham, or similar - anyway, a very small, very low dug-out of a car).

No. It’s a lengthened GLE platform.

Sorry, but I don’t get how this is a good thing. I say this as someone who rides a bicycle to work year-round (3.5 miles one way) in central European climate. By the time he gets to work, the Camry will just have warmed up.

Yes, the Flying Bulls have had a Cobra for a while now. It is, of course, completely demilitarized. I saw it flying in 2012 or 2013 or thereabouts. The accident happened last month, when landing after an airshow.

Came here for the Haflinger, was not disappointed. When I was a small kid, my father used to give me rides in one - they were used by the police in the more mountainous regions of Austria. And his brother, my uncle, allegedly had a Kettenkrad which he used for lumber work - I never saw it, though.

In all of Austria:

I thought it was “When you only hear the tree, it’s oversteer. When you see it first, it’s understeer.”

Perforated white leather in a family car? Good luck with that. I’m over 40 now, and my mother still shudders when she remembers the time my little brother puked over the perforated-leatherette seats of our Golf Mk I. The puke dissipated into all those little holes, and the seats had to be replaced (imagine the odor of…

Where I am writing this, it is both illegal to let your car warm up on idle (for environmental reasons) as well as to leave in unlocked (because it might “incite” someone to steal it).

Is a female landlord not called a landlady anymore?

I did see one, maybe 20 years ago. It left a deep impression. Probably my most memorable car sighting “in the wild” to this day, far above the occasional SLS or Phantom.
