While it was an 800cc boxer derived, basically, by splitting a Volkswagen air-cooled flat-four in half,

How could a Gurgel NOT be water cooled?

A friend of mine back in the 90's had a garage full of old English cars. He had an XKE, a Tiger, and a couple of Alpines. He couldn’t resist buying them if he found them cheap enough. None of them were driveable.

All of the hosts,…

NEVER thought I would see the words “Concorde” and “museum quality” in the same sentence!

I thought he was preparing to portray John Huston in some upcoming biopic.

Admittedly, TG was also better when we thought Clarkson was just playing the part of a douchewaffle for the show. When it turned out that he actually *is* a raging asshole who treats people like shit, it got a little less funny.

Let’s not.
