Yeah. My father was 6'5" and in the USAF, he definitely wasn't flying. Weight requirements weren't adjusted for tall men, either, which meant he was basically starving himself trying to keep at the right weight.

And who knows? Maybe it will. I'm personally secretly hoping for something like the 1966 one, but my attorney councils a policy devoid of breath-holding.

Not complaining, just pointing out that that's why it's three doors instead of the more typical five for a wagon. I think most people consider shooting brakes to be a subset of wagons overall.

Shooting brake, technically.

Nice little car, attractive lines and interesting (model) history, but $23k? I could see it worth 15-20k to a properly interested buyer, but as others have noted, this is a unicorn car over here, likely only attracting a small pool of potential buyers, and it has no little amount of things that probably ought to be…

Okay, I'm pretty sure it's not doing that. Thanks for the tip, though! I'm trying to keep this car going until the transmission eventually comes apart.

My 2000 Ford Taurus is at 258,000 miles on the original (and largely poorly maintained) engine, only major work on it was an oil pan gasket (which is a pain to replace) which blew a few months ago. And it's still running 23-25mpg day in and day out.

Chirping? My 2000 Taurus makes plenty of noises, most not very good, but at 258,000, I don't expect otherwise. I figure the transmission's not got long to live, but can you describe this sound? I didn't know about the cam position sensor...

This cries out for an Aston. And yes.

Pity this didn't get selected. I would have loved to buy it.

The Jaguar E-Type. I'm just not sure if Eagle's creations count as revival or continuation.

Aside from that, how about the Triumph Spitfire? Great handling, affordable, and some of the best sheetmetal on any roadster.

My favourite concept story of all time has to be the genesis of Jaguar's XJ220. It was a weekend project done on the cheap by a bunch of engineers working for free, it was designed to turn heads and show that newly spun off and struggling Jaguar could compete with the best supercars on looks and style and power and…

Sweet photo. Yours?

I'd class myself as 'willing to learn'. I'll confess I'm a relatively new convert to the jalop lifestyle, but I do enjoy research and learning the ins and outs of systems, and have some mechanical ability. I'm working up to doing non-minor repairs on my Taurus, which is probably near the end of its life and I'm trying…

Sweet. That should be a treat, then. That's the main problem with most six-cylinder Spitfire mods—the weight distribution never gets figured out. Should be incredibly fun on the twisties—I'm definitely jealous.

I'm seriously considering buying into that crude-but-fun roadster ideal. Not sure why, considering my current daily driver is a long-suffering Ford Taurus that gets 30,000 miles a year, and I get annoyed whenever it breaks. But I would be hard-pressed to find a modern car prettier than a Spitfire or a MGB, and I like…

A 2.5L straight six in the Spitfire? Will probably go like greased lightning, but I'd be worried about the handling/weight distribution post-swap...

That was pretty much exactly what I was about to post. Yeah, pretty much okay with TVR taking over BMW...

No. Just no. Never.

The Odyssey's biggest innovation, and the one Chrysler took a long time to get on board with, was that fold-in-floor third row. No more lifting out a Like Honda interiors of the time, it's proven able to withstand 286,000 miles of people-hauling abuse. That's right, this Odyssey's close to 300k. That explains the…
