It can't be Super Replicas, these cars actually look like the intended models!

Unless it's original novels Bond, then his Bentley is missing and he's crying into a Vodka Martini stirred, not shaken.

When I squander my fortune on making my own car I've always hankered after making a 2-litre straight-8 in a vintage F1 type homage.

They're pretty nice! I like this geezer already.

I'm scared & confused.

Being a yurp-ean this is new to me, but it's aged pretty well for a 10 year old. Cars normally look their most awkward at a decade, but this is cutting it nicely. Definite future classic sign, that. The dash is a travesty though, why anyone thought just turning the dials white was a good idea is beyond me.

JetVan?

I quite like it, I love the classic lines & I bet it will look better in the flesh. The only thing that needs a bit of a re-think might be the lights - time for a renaissance in pop-up lights?

This is a great sketch!

Living up to the nick-name "Might-go-crash-i" then.

Wasn't this so hard that Kai Tak required it's own certification for pilots take before they could make commercial landings there?

That's pretty awesome. I certainly shared the amazement of the chap in the video that they were able to stop that thing so quickly!

My job was moved 200 miles away, and rather than pay a moving allowance, a company I once worked for paid per mile expenses for me to drive there. It added over £10,000 a year to my pay and cost me only £4,500 per year in additional fuel/tyres & maintenance thanks to an extremely economical & reputation busting-ly

Things like solar have improved incredibly recently. Last year Germany (hardly in the sunniest part of Europe) set a new solar record of 22Gw per hour, providing almost 50% of the midday energy demand on the country.

Most of what you say is perfectly fine, but everyone falls over on the same point. "Because I think I'm better than everyone else." Isn't going to be accepted as an acceptable excuse for breaking the speed limit. It is the law, and as a citizen who expects the protection of all the other laws, you are bound to honour

Don't know for sure, but I've read that it comes from horse drawn carriages, particularly smaller, lighter ones with a very basic hood.

Every argument for or against EVs smacks of idiocy. All cars are bad for the environment. End of.

This is precisely the TVR formula :-) and if they're going to do well & capitalise of the considerable good will that still exists for the company in the UK they need to stick to it.

They're every bit a complex, wayward and fragile as ferraris. You should budget as per a Ferrari for maintenance. The Quattroporte seems to be a little more reliable than the Spyder, but that's all rather relative.

I have a total soft spot for these cars. No one involved ever seems to say "Is this too crazy?" when putting their ideas together .
