Knockoffs & Green Tea*

Yep that would’ve been a reasonably nice Ranchero and I know that GM had something similar for the Aussies, but that gap between the cabin and bed is somehow bugging me.

Australia ‘Mate!

The Ford Falcon comes as a sedan, or a ‘ute seen in the picture.

Holden (GM’s Australian arm) does the same thing with the Commodore (The US Pontiac G8 / Chevy SS sedan or Caprice PPV), naming it the Maloo when in ute form.

I’m a student studying car design, and I did a design project for the El Camino revival on my own, but then one of our tutors (Who happen to be J. Mays, former head of design at Ford) told me to take it out of my portfolio as “Nobody cares about the El Camino anymore.” This is just sad.

Huh, didn’t know they offered the SS trim on the 81 Vette.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. I work at an avionics company and we support stuff that was designed 30+ years ago (if it’s still flying we’re still supporting it, even if we haven’t built it for years.) We’ve got a lab for our first CRT-based display/integrated avionics system that runs on an Apple IIe. Our IT…

They’re German. They give a power point presentation on how to go to the toilet.

Are the post bankruptcy Twinkies worse? I haven’t had one. (I know, I’m part of the problem)

I’d feel a lot more comfortable with Woody Harrelson in that scenario. As long as he’s got plenty of Twinkies, that is.

Sweet... now is there a radar detector detector detector?

Trump has an idea of how his mouth works and that’s about it. It’s unfortunate that the sounds he makes with it are very similar to some form of English.

But the Caddy (well, whatever the Golf Mk1 pickup is called in the US of A) will not have a bazillion problems and gremlins on a daily basis and explode sooner or later. It also has a bigger bed plus metric fucktons of moar swag.

This WILL be my next car. I found out about these about 3 months ago. Already in the planning stage. And most importiantly, got the wife’s ok.

The next one was a big one and thirty yards long — a coach built limoship and obviously designed with one aim in mind, that of making the beholder sick with envy. The paintwork and accessory detail clearly said ‘Not only am I rich enough to afford this ship, I am also rich enough not to take it seriously.’ It was…

Finally something is accessible on an Audi engine without assuming the maintenance position.

So say we all.

Just so you know these came with a 2.3 liter Mercedes engine (M11.970) or a 2.0 liter diesel engine. Both with around 150 hp.

Ruth has perfected the backhand stroke in the brat!
