Not to be an asshat, but the city is spelled Göteborg, sans the n in the middle... Great read though! Fun to see your country (or at least the cars) through an outsider’s eyes.

The Prius probably just took them by surprise.

Right Said Fred noooooooooo!

Six months ago, Land Rover ended production of its iconic Defender, a truck whose roots go current engineering dates all the way back to 1948 1983.

Hah, the same Nigel Farage that attended just one out of a possible 42 EU Fishing Committee meetings when he was a member.

Range of “only” 100 miles, says the man who clearly has not witnessed a 308 being operated. Not only doesthis conversion make this 308 the most reliable 308 on the road, but it probably has a greater range than almost any other 308 in existence.

Dear NASCAR:

Nah, they’d not be able to tempt them away from ITV. The cast of EastEnders, however...

Not surprising as Hungary played a large role in 2nd gen. Swift production all the way up to 2002 for the European market.

I’m still not sure why people in the US who want one of the old Defenders don’t use a reputable broker in the UK or Europe in general. So many were built in LHD for British Army use abroad, maintained without regard for cost, low miles, ermm... no options (army!)... but do what they were built for. Government surplus…

They’ve been chucking motor home bodies on small vans in Europe for half a century: Transits, Bedfords, VW Transporters, anything, in fact with an engine and chassis. Cutest is the Suzuki Super Carry conversion.

Discount racing harness? Are you kidding? If I’m in the market for a racing harness (I’m not), I’m gonna get the fanciest, snazziest most expensive one I can afford (none, because I’m broke).
