That’s correct. The Rover V8 was the aluminum Buick 215. It debuted in some BOP (Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac) models in 1961, but was expensive to manufacture and—in the early stages—had quality control woes. Not only that, it required special care that a lot of American owners and shops were ill-prepared to deal…

And, of course, there was the Discovery I’s Honda clone, the Crossroad. See, while Honda USA relied upon Isuzu for its first couple of SUVs (the Passport and the SLX), Honda of Japan asked their new friends at Rover Group—with whom they had already co-developed several cars—to borrow the Discovery I and badge that as…

Not everyone gets to schedule their own day. 

You might still find a Type R or Si that is cheap, but this is a great color.

Wasn’t sure at the first shot mocking the commuter, but the second time around you knew they were Indian (or assumed the trucker thought so)

Yeah, looks like a lot of fun. Had a few goes in Southern Utah renting SxS and hooning it in the desert. But this event, that last paragraph hits hard and is why you will never find me there ever

I hear his homeland’s glorious military has quite a few new openings for motivated young men...

This Haas to be a good read.
