Has Rob been broken of his habit of presenting us with a nearly endless string of fright pigs that call to mind the old verboten but catchy title this feature used to have?

This Looks like a steal to me. Lately we have seen cars with 160,000 miles on the odometer for similar prices. Always thought the Clubman was interesting and made the Mini into a practical daily proposition. If this is near me may go buy it.

Looks nice, I think maybe the catalyst and some other updates was a midyear change in 77, so maybe that explains your car. Here is my current 924S. When I got mine I pulled parts from two or three cars at local junkyards, as the inop ones were pretty hard to sell for any price just a few years back. I think they are…

I had an ‘81 for about a year. Bought it for $1000 in 2015 or 16 in Wyoming and dive it home 450 miles in January to Nebraska. It had no heater, but otherwise did fine. Mine was about like this except the cat was fine but it needed paint because of lots of dings all over, but no rust.

Yeah, you hit on a point I shouldn’t have cared about as much as I did, but nevertheless really bugged me on the test drive. In my mind a sports car dash is a big round tach and a big speedo in front of the driver, with lots of little gauges scattered around in supporting roles.  I had no idea the S2K was different…

I test drove one of these once it was an AP1. I had huge expectations because from everything I read it was exactly the kind of car I like, small, light, agile and quick. I have to say I was a little disappointed, but I don’t think it was a bad sports car at all, it was just like going to a movie after everybody and…

Most of the Corvairs I see for sale are cheaper than this, but they also don’t look nearly as nice as this one. My quibble, looks like a base coat clear coat or two stage paint. Though this is the state of the art these days, old cars, particularly from the lower end of the food chain, never look quite right to me…

I just don’t get all the love for cruise control. I rarely use it. If I were going for hundreds of miles on very lightly travelled roads on a regular basis I suppose I would miss it, but with traffic these days (and I live in the semi rural Midwest). There isn’t much to do on the highways anyway, play the mind game of…

Around here I am always amazed at the number of people who stomp on the pedal and race their big SUVs and full sized trucks from stoplight to stoplight.  Money to burn I guess.

My thinking on whether YouTube changed car culture for better or worse actually needled more towards worse after watching that video than when I just thought about the question before I watched it. There was so much focus on people and personalities. I really couldn’t name one YouTube car influencer except for Leno, I…

nk I am in the same school as some of the rest here. If I need to have the razor edges tiny sports car Lotus is one of the few games in town. If I want a mainstream sized sports car I will get a Porsche, or heck a new Supra can be had for not much more.

There are factory suspension mounts front and rear on my old Triumph.  Good to know some things never change.

I missed this one too. I have a somewhat hopped up Triumph TR250 as my fun car, and a 2002 Lexus IS300 as my comfortable and practical daily. If I had tons of money would I do different? Probably, but I have enough to upgrade pretty painlessly to a more modern daily now and I don’t have any great desire too. I really…

I learned a little about the models post 90s. Agree it is not a bad list, however, unless the difference from bottom to top of the list is razor thin, it seems a little strange that the first short wheelbase cars are near the bottom of the list and the next iteration with the extended wheelbase towards the top.

I have driven pre 964s and I find them to be wonderful driver’s cars. No they are not fast or I suppose comfortable by modern standards, but they are responsive, the light front end makes steering response like nothing most people will ever drive, and the view down the hood with the fender headlight bulges placed…

I didn't pay that much attention to these, but pretty much assumed the same.

Its a very late model car in stock condition.  I don't know what the price is supposed to be, but it is very easy to check KBB or your value website of choice and look online for cars for sale for comparisons.  Partly I guess just because I am more of an old car guy, but this seems like a less fun way to play the game.

Kind of a weird ad. I have seen plenty of ads that say “don’t waste my time” “no tire kickers” or “want to see it go to a good home”. But “Due to a high volume of inquiries, please text only if you are very serious. Include information about yourself, how you will pay, why you want the car, etc.”

I thought of that but also of the driver. Sounds like you did a great job, but I don’t think I would have the guts to compete in a bike or even take a liter bike out on a track and stretch it’s legs.
