I’ll take the TR4.

Back when I was in AIT at Ft. Lee, VA, my room mate drove an Opel GT. Every Friday night, we would head out in that Opel up to Baltimore. At that time, I95 through Richmond had drive thru tolls (I think it was a quarter). The game was to toss the coin and then see if we could get through before the light changed. We…

The first time I have ever completely agreed with one of these “lists”. Every one of these cars fit the category, not a bad one in the bunch.

When I had an MGB, it was enjoyable as hell to thrash the thing, only to find out that you weren’t really going fast at all. Run it towards the red line, speed shift through all of the gears, only to find out that it maxed out at about 85. Of course, being a small car you felt like you were doing 100.

Been thinking about this since I first read it yesterday. I thought about it last night as I drove my ‘91 RX7 FC convertible to the Dairy Queen. Thought about it again today while working on my TR8 project. Didn’t have any trouble getting in and out of either car.

Your Daily Double is called the McDouble in most McDonalds and is clearly listed on the menu. You are correct, it is the perfect quick food pick-me-up at a bargain price.

My Father bought one of these. It’s possibly the only non-Buick that he ever bought, for whatever reason. He drove it for about four years without any major problems.

The answer to this is really quite simple. Any Honda product that you can buy for under $5000 will probably last you until you get enough money for something better. It’s just the way it is.

Fun little toys. Just begging for a 13b swap.

Whenever I see something like this, I wonder how the dumb asshole who was driving even got a license.

Recently, out of boredom with regular TV, I have been watching old Top Gear shows on BBC. I am currently into season 20, and I have to say that a lot of the stuff that gets said on these shows would not cut it today. Clarkson leering at one of the audience member’s cleavage? Don’t think so. Totally inappropriate (but…

It, and my TR8, are considered classic by pretty much every member of my British Car Club. More importantly, they are considered classic by the various insurance companies who deal in these type of vehicles.

The Lucas thing is overblown. Any car this old is gonna have electrical problems, simply with aging wiring.

You have obviously never worked on a classic car. It’s easy to get carried away cost wise. It’s why I have nicknamed my TR8 “The Loo” (toilet).

A long time ago I wanted to buy a 1990 Ford Probe. The dealer I went to, located in Pennsylvania, was offering 0.8 % interest rates. They had the model I wanted on the lot with my preferred options. At the end of the back and forth, the salesman comes out to tell me that I can’t get the interest rate because I live in…

The demolition derby one is especially hilarious now that we know about the Pinto’s problem with their gas tanks.
