Sir, you're a visionary! Carrera 4s drivetrain is the way to go with Tatras

Gordini?

Well, I guess that's like hardcore stuff for "Save the manuals", but I'm glad there's still some people who know how to operate them.

Thing is, you CAN still buy a VW Microbus, a Chevrolet Celta, or a '69 Mustang if you want to, as good as new, if you are wealthy enough. But that is not the point, is not about choice. Cars like the Kombi and the Celta are sold to people that cannot afford to buy anything else. So it's either that or public…

But I don't really think the cars booming countries want, even if they have poor road conditions like they do in India, are kei cars.

The Stratopolonez

God, I find 3 out of 10 great, and one more acceptable to some degree (Saab). What in hell have I become??

By "Beetle prototype" I guess you should really mean this

I'd take a RWD "Capri" happily, maybe something like that Evo concept sport coupé.

Yes it is. But I'd say this time is also known as "Simpson Design Italia"

I think you are right in almost everything you say (I mean, you obviously seem to know a lot about the aircraft industry), but what I meant about it is not how some assembly proccesses are performed, which I agree that might vary, but that careless assembly is simply not an option: True as it is that a damaged panel…

Save for real aerospace companies, you mean, don't you? Because comparing tolerance standards from BAE, EADS, Boeing... with those of any small aircraft company is like if you compare tolerance standards from Mercedes with that Morgan kit-car your neighbour built last winter.

Have the same feeling, but I think it's just because it's in the middle of the uncanny valley of photoshop perfection.

Yeah, because it is extremely likely that someone outside the US who buys a cute overpriced -and posh- car like the mini will outright buy the base spec, with no options...

That's bullshit!

It's easy....

I'm hugely surprised this video didn't make it sooner...

I raised the same question just two days ago.

Well, just another victim to the Piranha-face virus!

I think that beyond the car itself, it's a really interesting proposition the one you made: How cool would that be, nowadays, to pick one Le Mans class-car and then rebody it for the street?? That'd really be on fire!
