Yeah, that's the thing—almost all historic British makes that are still manufacturing are doing so in the UK, usually at or near their historic factory locations, regardless of where their corporate overlords are, or what language they speak. Tata hasn't diluted Jaguar or Land Rover (although they've absorbed a lot of…

Way too much in asking price. Pretty car, would probably be fun to drive, looks decently sorted, and would be great at $5k. Maybe even at 8-10, although I wouldn't pay it. $14.5k? No thanks.

Two wheels bad, y'know... </tongue-in-cheek>

Seriously. For $20k less, and more awesome. I'd totally be getting the Morgan (in some weird alternate universe where I wasn't 6'2", had $45k to spend on a toy, and didn't prefer four wheels anyway).

Okay, I work for a web development shop, I get continuous improvement. But the last few weeks have been continuously iterating in a downward direction.

Incidentally, he suggested it, entirely seriously. It was only later that he spent the rest of his career dumping fictional ones on his characters/characters' enemies.

Aww. I thought this article was going to be about the other Flying Crowbar Of Doom idea from the Cold War: Project Thor.

As a coupe, I would agree that it is nearly as beautiful/even better from some angles. Thankfully, the E-Type in my head is a roadster in British Racing Green, which still wins hands-down.

I'd love mine in BRG.

Really? My family has had a '04 Jeep Wrangler since new, soft-top, bulletproof AMC 242 (4.0L) straight-six. We've had VERY few issues, and have loved that Jeep, and have put roughly 150k miles on it. Most things on it are easily repairable with mild-to-moderate wrenching skills in the driveway—we've replaced a…

As much as we all love the stainless original DMC-12, I have to say the black doesn't look bad. Never seen any other non-stainless DeLorean that looked decent, but the black is rather unique, and doesn't go badly with the angular aggression of the design.

Sounds like they're going to restore it now, which is by far the best option...

Ditto, but I want to wear tweed and a bow tie...

I think if I had been piloting the second one, I'd have been thinking right before the abort 'Is this going to be the one? Is this going to be the plane I crash?' Some real professional flying here, kudos to these pilots for bringing them in safely.

You will need speed and range to get away, and those are not the main selling points when it comes to the Nissan Leaf.

Original miles == miles on original drivetrain/major components. This, for instance, has had a couple of minor engine rebuilds (one pre-emptive, one for a worn piston ring) but he hasn't had to replace the engine (nor the transmission as I recall). Very impressive.

Kentucky. First place I'd ever been (years ago) where a) most highways in the state were 70mph, and b) drivers actually rode on the right and passed on the left. Made for a very pleasant segment of a roadtrip.

And recently I had my high opinion confirmed after we unexpectedly lost a wheel on our heavily loaded…

The Basistransporter was a VW experiment in making the most basic utility vehicle possible. And boy did they succeed. The chassis was a simple ladder-frame that mounted a normal 1600cc Type I VW flat-four up front, in a new location and orientation for that engine, with torsion bars up front and a solid, mideval…

Yeah, that's been my attitude. Not something I'd personally drive, but probably a) powerful, b) fun, and c) consistent. I felt better about them when I heard about the Holden connection and the fact there was actually a decent engine under that hood.

Interesting. Some friends of mine have one in white, so I tend to notice them, but I actually don't think the Flex looks that bad. It's supposed to be decently comfortable as well as a people-hauler, and IMHO it's fairly distinctive, and not in a bad way. I see white ones in my area (that aren't my friends) reasonably…
