The Grand Tour...TGT...Top Gear Three? Reaching for straws, but could have been part of the naming process. Definitely not above something Clarkson or May would do. May in particular. Got fired from Auto Car mag for doing something similar.

Right?! She’s amazing. Not only a top-level racer, but also a competitive skier - who by the way was instrumental in creating Hunter Mt. in NY.

Edited to add image.

Wait, there’s a Focus ST WAGON?!

That would actually be a tough choice between that and a Seat Leon ST Cupra.

Most important part of this story. What is this camera car?

Ah...well in that case, carry on good sir

Oh for sure, there is variation based on how the leather was made and dyed in the first place, but even if your jacket air dries while you ride, leather conditioner is always a good bet.

Besides protecting the leather, it will also make it more supple, so your jacket will get more and more comfortable over time.

If you’re doing this, just make sure to let the leather air dry and then condition it as soon as you can. Water and leather don’t mix, and leather cracks when water strips away those natural oils in the leather.

So excited to see this driving around the Philadelphia area! Saw the Skyline on Kelly Drive a few times, but always going the other way.

Prototypes are grouped together under the umbrella term “Sports Car Racing.” By that definition, no LMP cars should be on this list either then, since only one seat.

I was thinking that too. I understand the camo is their generic working uniform, but why no Hi-Viz vest on over, like any other factory? Surely that could only help in a grey building while working on a grey plane?

Any idea if they’ll throw the T143 in the Morgan? Did you ask? How did they react to that?

Hate to say it, but I have a roommate that is allergic to chicken. It’s inconvenient as hell, but does happen.

Genuinely curious as to why they remove the headrests for this test. Aren’t headrests part of the retention system to help reduce whiplash injuries? Why remove a component meant to work as a system along with the seats and belts?

Mansory, not Masonry. As in Man, I’m sory for screwing up these cars.

I have an Airframe Pro for the weekend. What would you like to know? Let me know, and I’ll do what I can.

Perfect! And that is exactly what I’m getting at. The whole point of this article is to ask that question and to get responses like this.

So for you, personally, why did you go with a Ninja 650R over a Sportster, Dyna, Softail or bagger?

Try to assume positive intent. I certainly didn’t read that article as a veiled attempt at Harley bashing. It’s a genuinely important question to ask. Rationally and in a quantifiable way, there are bikes that are more comfortable, more reliable, more unique, and with better performance than an equivalent Harley. So…

I once replaced the flywheel/clutch assembly on a 2006 VW DSG gearbox in a Jetta TDI with my dad. This required disassembling the left front suspension and pulling out the half shaft. We then had to remove all engine hoses and accessories, as we had to pull the engine out. We unbolted the gearbox and just pulled the…
