@Billybird: Every Saturday night I go up Brick Lane for a curry with friends, and I can assure it is fucking hipster wanker central. They do love their bicycles, preferring fixed gear or 'fixies' as they are apparently called, and the more limited/rare/retro/recumbant/wankerish/expensive it is, the better.

@wkiernan: No, I think you'll find it's Americans, whom being basically an idle race, are simply so lazy they choose omit letters from words whenever possible...... :P

That, boys and girls, is completely magnificent.

@arbnpx: If they were drums on the front, they are utter pigs to keep in adjustment, not surprising given the complication the things.

Someone wants a word...

@Elhigh: Hmmmm, I'm not familiar with the power delivery of the Subaru turbo flat four, but judging by the outputs I would imagine it's of the bugger-all-bugger-all-bugger-all-christ almighty!!-rev-limiter variety.

He will certainly go down as one of the greatest drivers of all time.

@The Second Spitter: Probably from all that heaving on the wheel of a non-power steered 4000lb 'race' car.

@Jones Foyer: I'd argue, as a budding car design student, that the top line of the headlights is parallel to the line of the wheel arch where it intersects the bonnet, which is more pleasing to the eye than a contrasting angle would be.

@Number_Six: When Facsism comes to the United States, it will be wrapped in the cross.

@aec007: Yes, that's the two!! 90 volts in something you carried around with you.... those truly were the days when smoking was good for you, people drove to the pub to get drunk and 90 volts was clearly safe....

@aec007: My so-far-in-the-closet-he's finding-xmas-presents uncle just gave me a portable Pye radio from 1959 for my birthday. It requires two (well out of production) batteries, one for the radio circuitry and one to warm the valves.

And yes, the not-so-hidden-subtext is exactly what you think it is.

@Stoatmaster is Hedy Lamarr: Here's a website detailing the build of the Kitten above.

@snap_understeer_ftw: Basically, tub out the rear arches for monumental barely road legal drag wheels and tyres, ladder the front around the built V8 and drivetrain of your choice, gut the interior and replace with sheet steel interior panels and knit in a roll cage.

@Jim-Bob wants a B13 SE-R, but will settle for working air conditioning in his 351,000 mile Nissan Frontier.: It has a certain charm that's for sure.

@Goof_Troop: You can have that one, I'm specifying the Evil Version...

@dusteruk:

@shinjukuDLJ: Hooligans started flipping them right about pub closing time the night the first one ever hit UK streets...
