I found this particularly fascinating. Although I was alive when West Germany was still a real country, I usually don't even remember that it was. So to see this BMW with a BMW Japan sticker and yet a mention that it was built in West Germany extremely jarring. An odd thing is—why was this built for Japan in West…

Good news everyone! They are here in Argentina shooting the Christmas Special for next season. There are some reports in Spanish here: , but I guess this video will be more interesting:

Not just for the Beetle!

In Argentina we used to have a stupid TV show called "5ta a fondo" ("Fifth gear to the floor") I guess it was between 2008-2010... I didn't watch it back then and I had never watched Top Gear by then. Years afterwards I thought it was some type of knock off. Regarding what you can find in youtube, it was mostly about…

Hand-held or A-pillar mounted spotlights — the kind you usually only see on cop cars today — were once a really popular accessory in the US. Part of this was likely because back in the 50s, there were many more areas of the country without good street lighting, and a steerable light was probably a good idea for…

The SIR-VIVAL is back! http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/23/aut…

Well, here is my ride, 1998 Diesel Suburban, 6,5 Liter Turbo Diesel. It can drive my family of 7, my trailer and lots of stuff all around Argentina.... WHEN IT DOESN'T BREAK!!! 140.000 miles.

It is a nice little companion vehicle to go with your 24x24 ICBM carrier! http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/05/soviet…

I tried to find out something more about it, here in this forum post in spanish, it says they modified it to be used as a portable power station for mobile missile-launchers.... makes some sense. There are more photos, too. http://www.forocoches.com/foro/showthrea…

In Argentina and many other countries in Latin America, you can watch daily coverage 1 hour shows at Fox Sports and Fox Sports HD. In DirecTV this means channels 605 and 1012. Of course in Spanish. They usually do an excellent coverage, with lots of helicopter camera footage, which is much more interesting than…

Here in Buenos Aires this Saturday there will be a parade of 911 owners, I've read that 112 cars are registered to participate and the number will be a record.

You can still view it at this link http://www.wheels24.co.za/News/Horrific-…

Man, I thought somebody would suggest this specific Unicat, 8x8 model. No better way to check on your oil wells across the desert, in style!

I think this is low enough:

Here in Argentina we have as top seller the Toyota Hilux with the same 3.0 lt turbo diesel 4 banger that earned so much praise from Top Gear, they even drove one to the north pole,etc.

Videos...?
