Bugatti engine. Almost every flat surface was turned

iStream production for Gordon Murray's t25/27.

Fokker Eindecker. First dedicated fighter plane with machine guns synchronized to fire forward between the propeller. Planes in WWI began shooting at each months before the Eindecker arrived, but those engagements were haphazard affairs with observation plane pilots and co-pilots taking pot shots at each other with…

Amen. It took me years to find a stock, and clean first gen Si. About two years ago I found one on ebay and had it shipped across the states. When it arrived: evidence of damage and a hacked repair. Sigh...

A company (949 racing?) use to sell a reverse circulation cooling kit to help with the overheating problem. They made some other good equipment for the Miata but I don't know anyone personally who ever tried the conversion.

I always preferred the Ford Consul Capri. Rare as heck here in the US, but they were imported for a few years.

A Miata with an automatic

Why is this so surprising?

The 12 in DMC-12 stood for it's price: $12K. Missed the mark a bit - - by the time it hit the dealerships it was more than $25K. Of course production problems, and a boat-anchor engine didn't help things, but being more than 100% above estimated price certainly had an impact.

Honda Civic SiR. Each time a new Civic is released we here in the USA keep our fingers crossed that the SiR will get to our shores. Never happens. Heck, the pattern goes all the way back to the first gen CRX Si had the 1.6 litre twin cam in all other parts of the world, but only the 1.5 litre 12-valve was sold…

Fordlandia! Meticulously planned out, well financed, and well built. It is leading the way to tomorrow for this part of Brazil!

I've been on one of the earlier GY blimps and thought the ride was remarkably smooth.

Any older Honda Civic Si. They are a fun, reliable, and economical but if you're over 30, know how to wear a belt and a baseball cap, and aren't willing to slap a V-TECH window sticker on the thing (along with random hand gestures) you'll look out of place behind the wheel.

a few months ago an '85 Si, mint condition with only 24K miles, pulled $12K.

Battle for Castle Itter. At the close of WWII there were roaming bands of SS trying to cover up their crimes, generally by killing everyone involved. Castle Itter house French political prisoners who were on the SS' list. The Wehrmacht soldiers (everyone at the castle was on the list, even other German soldiers)…

I just used the internet forum hysteria algorithm.

It's true! As documented on the internet, of the ca. 3,000 M Coupes in the US more than 5,000 are known to have had complete subframe/trunk floor/trailing arm mount failures.

My Coupe has been very reliable. Per mile, far cheaper than my Subaru Legacy GT. FAR CHEAPER.

Mark's Classic Cruise in Granby, CT probably won't make the list as the largest, but it should earn some mention as being one of the most consistent, informal, well attended, week night get togethers in New England. Monday nights only, held in a 25 acre field, it consistently packs in over 500 cars each Monday night.…

Z3 M Coupe. Hell, the damn thing was designed by engineers who just wanted to make a better Z3. No business case for it, and marketing seemed to abandon it upon launch, but it was just so refreshing to see Ze-Germans (Ze-German-Engineers, actually) build something they just WANTED.
