Old news - MB famed “RODEO” test on ABC cars going back to the early 2000s

This is unfortunately a GTBi, down on power from both the early carb cars, and the later QV cars. They had a little over 200HP compared to the 250HP of their earlier counterparts. I am impressed it sold for $30k.

Hey, I work for the company that booked the shoot. Will is a really nice guy. I encourage everyone to register their car with our database, at www.cooperfilmcars.com.

The shell fires into a smaller cylinder attached to the engine that gives it enough power to overcome engine compression.

THIS. Von Dutch's 1922 Midget. And it's for sale...

I like how this is a thing now. It's kind of like the vehicular equivalent of protest by self-immolation.

I already have passes, but I was for a moment considering driving my 51 chrysler new yorker rally car from eastern LI to the party. But I have nowhere to store it in the city and can't drive it back until the following week. Maybe ccc wants to let her crash on the couch for a few days.

"Left 5 over crest, caution, tightens into Reliant Robin!"

He actually did this on purpose. He was wiggling the throttle back and forth to detect how much traction he had.

He's not talking about slip angle here, just the steering ratio (i.e. how far the wheels turn per degree of steering rotation). He has some things backwards however. Race cars typically have a very low steering ratio, as in 5:1, allowing them to quickly turn from lock to lock.

It looks like at :40 he hits a bump and then goes on to make a correction. The wiggling of the wheel into the corner is a pretty typical maneuver (wet or dry) when you're trying to keep straight under braking.

Yes, and at one point in the video you can clearly see a corner worker on foot manage to keep in a straight line on the wet tarmac as well.... but this driver was moving at a considerably higher pace than that. This car is liable to swap ends in an instant even in the dry; in the wet, on period correct rubber or some…

I race a '68 Maserati 450s recreation with a curb weight of 800kg and a 5.7L boat engine in front producing 450 hp. Using period correct dunlops is nearly impossible for me, and even on the stickiest modern rubber the widowmaker (as we call her) drives very much like the GT40 in the video above, regardless of whether…

The previous generation QX56 had a little roller knob so you could adjust your headlight angle depending on whether you were driving up a steep hill, down a steep hill, or on flat ground. Utterly, utterly useless for 99.56% of QX56 owners, though lots of fun to play with while at a stop light.

Coincidentally, 51 Park Place is the address of the famed 'Ground Zero Mosque.' The truthers ought to have fun with that one.

Same reason I don't have sex with my girlfriend—you know, don't want to ruin her for the next guy.
