Literally the only song they ever recorded that was worth listening to.

Given VW/Audi’s Lego approach to drivetrains , etc. this isn’t to surpising. Especially as the use of computers in the car was primarily focused on the fuel injection. So it’s doable and maintainable. Not quite the FrankenBeast you’d think it is. I’d buy it! Even if it doesn’t run it’d look nice sitting in the…
Hmmm, so all my posts are no longer in my original website merlyyn.kinja.com then? And kinja.com/merlyyn is not my website just my oppositelock posts?
Now that there is fun! That engine sound is amazing! I love vintage racing. Can’t wait till the Brickyard hosts the SVCA races again this year.
The AMX was at the end of my high school days and it was visually stunning. What made it unique among the herd was the serial number stamped in the dash and the company’s guarantee of 130 miles an hour. No one did that!
It was my turn to be the pedantic one today. Tomorrow I won’t give a shit.
Only in America. It was the Golf everywhere else.
To be clear the ‘85 is a MKII GTI. Anything before that was a MKI. Sorry, but I’ve too many of these in my driveway.
I.Actually.Like.This (that was hard to get out)
I saw one as well last week. I think the official designation is “Clown Shoe 2.0”
Torch, how dare you drop into town without letting us know? There’s free beer around every corner if your with us (and we have craft beer to die for trust me) Let’s face it, Jalopnik’s per diem pobably wouldn’t cover a replacement Brazilian Beetle tailight lens on a good day.
Loved Legends! The Ferrari v12 sounds like reality is being ripped apart! Turn it up!
How about Andretti’s Ford Quad-Cam Turbo at Indy ? During testing it would go “on-cam” suddenly and you had 400 more horsepower...coming out of Turn 4 ! He said it spun the tires!
CIS fuel injection was designed for fighter planes in WWII but proper tolerances couldn’t be managed with the current technology. But it worked well enough to be used on VWs in the early 70’s and eventually well enough for use on the Ferrari Testarossa.
Advice for those corporate karting experiences, it really is all about Team Building. That is making sure you win by getting the right people on your team. That slim, tiny secretary? She weighs nothing and her power-to-weight ratio will have her out-accelerating everyone. The big guy from accounting? Dump him! The…
It’s only fair...
We need a Jalopnik clearing house where we can buy and store these finds. Some place in Arizona where things won’t rust (anymore). We could fund it with a KickStarter. You pay to get the car trailered there and the storage fee is very small. Jalopnik has no liability for theft or damage. The you can withdraw your…
Corrado ownersship is a mixed blessing. You have the best looking car they ever made and it’s so full of gremlins it’s not funny. Anyone got an extra sunroof motor, spoiler motor, window mechanism, G-Lader?
Sounds ripe for picking!
