Where did you get that? Also,non-performing? London Transport, both buses and subways, is awesome and works extremely well.

The Porsche Classic Radio has been around for at least 5 years.

No constructive comment or discussion here, just my Twingo passing through, fishing for stars...

They are though. They are the hot versions of these cars. Not just with significantly more hp than the base versions (almost twice as much!), but typically with changes to the chassis, brakes, exterior, steering and whatnot as well.

All joking aside, this platform is pretty solid. The 4.4L AJ133 is a rock solid engine, as is the ZF 6 speed. The only potential issue may be the air suspension, however an upgraded compressor and a quick ECU flash will sort that right out. Or you can ruin it with a spring conversion, your call.

Directly converting car prices is extremely misleading, and Jalopnik should stop it immediately.

Indeed. It’s like those people who call every bovine animal a cow even if it’s sporting bull equipment the size of a watermelon.

Pedantic time:

Phantom gray MR2 Spyder with red top, friends. Though tan tops are for the loafer and khaki crowd. GTFO with your other choices.

I think you’re overestimating how much people care about these dumb laptime stunts.

NOT. EVEN. WITH. A. 10,000FT. BARGE. POLE. I had an S3 in the UK. Brand new. I had the car for 2 weeks before it was back at the dealership for the first issue. Damn thing was completely useless and I was very, very happy when it got stolen. Because they always get stolen. It’s actually the approved exchange method…

I sort of disagree about your opinion regarding how bad it is in the city. I had two when I lived in London (1893 Ninety petrol ‘van’ and a 2003 TD5 90 pick-up).

Your point? They also hold 4 people as opposed to 16. This whole thing was supposed to be a proof of concept and this concept would have a lot more people’s confidence if the only hurdle was scaling up the speed and passenger capacity.

Congratulations David! I know it’s not easy letting go of a car, but you did the right thing. I can’t wait for you to have enough espace, time and cash to work on that ‘Stang!

Haha, yeah, the French suck, they only took over all of Europe twice.

You’re comparing tax exclusive prices in one country with tax inclusive prices in another. To put it into context, the few who buy Corvettes in France are paying from €131,000. The A110 starts at about €56,000.

Yes, because prison rape is funny, and an appropriate punishment for reckless driving 

You are wrong on that. The cheap shipping is a result of the long standing international Postal treaties. The Post Office during the Obama administration (The PO is typically a non-political office, and Postmaster Generals do not resign when a new president comes in) decided to increase the price to even the playing…

On the other hand, I’ve actually got one!
