Excuse me if I'm being dumb but what exactly does the Magic Roundabout achieve that one larger roundabaout with 5 exits wouldn't?

I see why BMW are doing this, those saying that most new car buyers, and even BMW buyers, don't care (or even know, apparently, which seems irresponsible given the different ways one needs to respond in an emergency sitution, but that's another topic) which wheels on their car are being powered are right, I'm sure.…

Assuming that's the 4X4 model that's exactly what I was talking about. Aside from the more utilitarian interior that seems to be the European take on the GMC above. It'll basically do the same tasks, but is far less likely to be used a private vehicle.

In Europe the things people use these trucks for are done by a variety of different vehicles. Towing duties most often by vans (or cab/bed trucks based on vans) like the Mercedes Sprinter (pictured), Iveco Daily and Ford Transit, most often in 2WD drive flavour but all the above vehicles are either available with 4WD…

Shame, because ignore the front and and that's a really handsome roadster.

I'm in. I'll be watching it over the next few days. This article brought back all sorts of happy memories, I absolutely loved this movie as a kid.

This thing is soooo Russian Mafia.

I must've got my smoke signals mixed up I was totally under the impression that black/blue=oil white=fuel.

That's some nice engine porn right there.

I hadn't considered the horse trailer thing, that makes alot of sense. The bit I don't understand is the smoke. I mean, how much oil are they burning? And more to the point, what are they doing to their engines to make them burn so much oil? Actually adding oil to the fuel tank?

This brings up a question I've asked myself and I suspect I know the answer to. Has anybody ever made a rotary diesel?

What's the deal with "smoke stacks"? I mean, I get the whole big-exhaust-sticking-out-of the-bed idea, what I don't get is the smoke. Here in the UK diesel is seen as boring and normal, all our automotive subcultures are largely petrol (gas) centric (we do have a VW TDi tuning culture, but that's another topic), I…

I live in rural SW England and the richest round here have a real liking for the Land Rover brand. Range Rovers (usually black, never the Sport model) are predictibly popular, but less obvious is the Defender, nothing says loadsamoney quite like a new-ish LWB Defender in a neutral colour sans…

So what we can take away from this list is that hipsters have pretty good taste in cars.

The big one for me is a Tatra 603

True, but beige can be done right, too.

Sometimes the rear of a 1 Series . . .

I always feel kinda guilty when I do this, like I should have a proper funnel. This picture makes me feel vindicated.

OK, I recognise Walt and Gus, but who's this? I'd kinda expect it to be Jesse but it doesn't look like him to me. Mike Ehrmentraut?
