    I saw a pacer recently (pretty rare in the UK); was surprised by how big it was, and how inset the wheels were.

    I think this book has something to do with midlife crises, or something like that. I don’t really know. But I do like that it has a Rover, a Mustang, something I’m not totally sure of (Hillman Avenger?), an Impala, and a Capri on the cover.

    I’m hoping she gets replaced with the scruffy unelectable socialist soon, so he can get on with dragging us back to the 1970's.

    My bad; yeah, that makes more sense than the nosecone. Kind of mis-interpreted it.

    I don’t know that it’d make that much difference; based on no research whatsoever, I suspect that the top speed of something like the SR-71 is more likely limited by the aerodynamics and/or ability to hold together than power/weight; in the case of the “bastard”, I’d guess they probably won’t run it as hard because…

    Purely by chance, I came across a car that combines today’s and yesterday’s NPOCP:

    Not going to lie; Haven’t read the article yet. But that top picture just makes me think of a pre-runner crossed with a corgi:

    I like the stuff ICON do, but, much as they pride themselves on attention to detail, there’s always something minor that throws me on the builds. On this, it’s that TFT speedo. I can understand going electronic, and, while I’d have probably handled the graphics a little differently, I get that’s just a matter of…

    I’d quite like to put wooden decking in the back of an MGB GT, kind of like this, but with wood instead of carpet:

    That kind of reminds me of the renault wind:

    Pretty sure I used to chew seatbelts from time to time as a kid too; was just thinking that there’s nothing I could remember chewing, but you’ve reminded me. 1st gen Proton persona hatch, most likely.

    Mini vs 2016 Smart forFour (at being a small car); I’ll throw the forTwo in the comparison too, just for reference.

    Damn, I’m a vegetarian; does that mean I’d have to drive some sort of cabbage-engined prius? I really hope not.

    trans/final drive are still correct for this; I don’t really think there’s a correct way to label something like this.

    I’d definitely put a “turbo” badge on a Tesla (or other EV); Maybe even a fuel injection badge, or go the whole hog and stick a “turbo electronic fuel injection” badge of a chrysler leBaron:
