Full suspension, engine and drivetrain from a Celica ST205 homologation special into a classic Mini body retaining the original exterior dimensions (aside from fender flares) for those not familiar.

Not quite completed yet but I’’d have to go with “Binky” if for no other reason than the incredible amount of old-school engineering that has gone into this project:

If you have said anything other than the W451 Smart Fortwo you are absolutely wrong, the US market Smart Fortwo is quite possibly the most tremendous piece of shit I have ever had the misfortune of driving. I work for MB who owns Smart and therefore I drive and repair them frequently. Perhaps the variants seen in…

Damn you Tavarish, I was eyeing that very same 944! Good luck to you! Being a few thousand miles away on vacation in Ireland at the time and having to move pretty much immediately once I got back to Boston I thought better of it. The sad state of my finances, long to-do list on the E30, and lack of parking space did…

Really?

There is difference here, one wins races while the other gets lapped so badly its pulled from competition for the rest of the year.

Gotta love street parking ...

I’m not entirely sure I would mark this as my absolute worst motorcycle day as I’ve had a motorcycle stolen on two separate occasions but yesterday was a pretty shitty one in the grand scheme of things. I woke up to find my Monster S2R laying on the ground after someone had apparently hit it trying to parallel park,…

-They are the only factory supported effort

Just put in 400 or so miles yesterday with my Kriega R35 brimmed with enough camping gear to keep me warm in the northern New England mountains and my shoulders are decidedly un-sore today. The Quad-lock system definitely works but the R35 is way overkill for anything but a multi-day journey. My Duluth Pack Deluxe…

Heres hoping they’ve got a new dominator or Trans Alp in the works!

Agreed, and “American” (Started by a Frenchman but directly supported by/integral to the U.S. miitary industrial complex) chemical companies aren’t much better:

Where is her Roadcrafter!? She shoudl be ATGATTing!

Monsters S2R 800, S2R 1000, S4R, S4RS.

Well in that case a review of the Redshift shouldn’t be too far off?

I’ve read Hellforleather since day one and miss it dearly, Rideapart back when there was still some talent there (You, Wes, Sean Smith etc.), and roughly every third post on Common tread(Some good, some bad). Glad to see your somewhere that should allow you the creative freedom to make decent content. One thing you…

Just wait for September 1st, (move in day for all Boston colleges and really all Boston renters) there will be accordion-ed up U-hauls by the dozens on Storrow Drive.

Godamnit stop publicising all the cars I'm contemplating buying in the next year or two! The value of E30 M3's, E46 M3's and Z3 M's are going up quick enough as is without you singing their praises!

Boston has had these for almost five years already, at this point there are stations within about a 1/4 mile of anywhere in the Boston/Cambridge area. The key to keeping costs reasonable is getting corporations to subsidize (Reebok in this case).
