But what if it’s a catch-22 situation? You keep going thinking it’ll feel amazing when you finally finish it...but you never finally finish it.

Well, now there’s a niche market where I could apply the only two things I’m good at: cars and languages. I’m gonna try and make it big as a bilingual translator for dumbasses stuck in the desert needing parts for a race truck!

Here’s a freebie:
Gasket = Empaque / Empaquetadura / Junta…

This guy. He made me laugh. He cool.

Sehr klug!

Sir Alec Issigonis doesn’t want a Mini with a stupid “ALEC” plastic badge on it. Sir Alec Issigonis wants a Mini that, for once, is ACTUALLY Mini in size and not a bloated “compact” with french engines that appeals only to imbeciles.

They’re called “chigüiros” over here and their meat is delicious.

Do you remember the last time you drew a car with such enthusiasm and wild creativity? The last time you dreamt about driving fast back when you had no idea of what speed limits or snap oversteer was? Do you remember the time being happy with cars was simple as doodling something ridiculous you liked instead of having…

At the start and at the first half of the course, yes. The council of the town hosting the hillclimb refused to remove them. Still, it was a blast, one of the best weekends of my life! Amateur hillclimbing in a 200whp+ car that weighs less than 900kg is as exciting as it’s scary!

Air being sent back into the compressor wheel IS compressor surge. Compressor surge and turbo flutter are indeed the same thing, that chirping sound is what happens when you got boost but no airflow into the engine and so the compressor blades have to chop the mass of compressed air that’s trapped in the charge pipe,…

I used to like the sound of a turbo chirping until I faced the consequences of a little thing called compressor surge. I loved how my car sounded like a mutant turkey between upshifts but I didn’t like it as much when a brand new $750+ Turbonetics unit went FUBAR in under a year. Truth be told, the previous owner had…

I cannot express how much I respect what you just said. Bravo, sir, bravo.

No, they are not. These guys who want a Paul Walker statue are idiots and, if anything, they’ve reduced my hope in humanity and in becoming a journalist myself.

I have the impression that cars like this are too techy and assist the driver too much in order to go faster. I’m an old-school idiot and I prefer stuff to be raw and analogue, no nannies keeping the car in control and no one to blame but you in case things go wrong. Turbos are great but three-letter acronyms like…

I rarely post here but I had to do so because you’re so wrong.
