I'm not saying I'd have a car in this condition, and RX7 engine swaps make me cry on the inside, but I kinda like the post-apocalyptic aesthetic he's got going. Hope he kept the factory wheels though. One day, this will need to be restored.

So implying a swear-word is OK, but using it isn't? I just find it odd that you're ripping on the communication skills of a talented driver and writer, while failing to use the basics of the language properly.

Like punctuation and grammer?

I'm a Kiwi, living in UK, with many Aussie, Canadian and American friends. I can only assume that by saying "we don't swear like that" you are referring to a strange puritan sect that you belong to, and, having been indoctrinated you believe that the rest of the world shares your beliefs. I, and much of the…

You make me wish I wasn't a Kiwi.

My bad. Tail firmly between legs. Also muttering under my breath.

For sure. The Beemer V8 is surprisingly reliable (from my experience, anway). My mum has had an E39 540 for a while with bugger-all problems.

Yeah, but if you can find a decent one with the V8, rather than the V12, that has been maintained, they can be pretty solid. Besides, the man on the street doesn't need to know that none of your electrics work.

As much as I hate the thought of desecrating an original 7 (I get slightly annoyed when I see one with after-market wheels, to be honest. I know that makes me some sort of purist wankel, I mean wanker, but thats just how I feel), this is pretty damn cool.

E38. Non-gearheads don't know that you can get one of these for well under $10k, but they do know that its a huge BMW, and that says rich (and possibly crack dealer).

SO strikethrough works in blog posts but not replies?

Love this car, and the concept of a sleeper 610 is great, but $22k for someone elses <strike>explosion in waiting<strike> turbo project is too much. An SR20DET engine swap and you have my vote, but for now, CP.

Ugh

Shouting at women out the windows. Never been able to work this behaviour out. If its because they'd like to get to know said women better, then being abusive and then driving off like an asshole is not the way to do it.

I never noticed the Elantra's Hoffmeister Kink before. Stylish.

Major CP. The price is très ridicule, and there are few things on the planet more frustrating than a small, low powered car with a slusher.

Unless he gets all the Constructicons for his birthday. I'd do anything to play with Devastator, but my mum says those toys are too violent.

*Deserted* roads are key. I was lucky enough to grow up in Rotorua, NZ, meaning we had lots of cheap, used Japanese imports and many nearby dirt/gravel forestry roads. Hoon paradise.

Once a hoon, always a hoon. But hoon and fuckwit are not the same thing.

The biggest shock here is that the guy is 35! That's well into adulthood, although in this case I don't think the word applies. I've been known to do donuts in S chassis Nissans in public places, but I was 17 at the time. This guy is old enough to have a 17 year old son of his own!
