BMW M3 wagon, (actually a 3 series with an M3 drivetrain), or a Jag XJ6. Easy to fit 2 boxers and a Basset Bleu de Gascogne into and they all have lots of room and can look out and see all around. 3 dogs and 1 person can fit in a Triumph Spitfire or Mazda MX-5 pretty easily too.

I laugh at the "Jag (or Healey, triumph, MG, whatever) reliability" jokes. My current car? Triumph Spitfire, 44k miles since March 2010. Other car? Rebuilding a 1971 MGB, and 3rd car is an 87 Jag XJ6 which needs tires and a u-joint to get back on the road. Though not able to shred the rear tires, my Jag can move that…

Funny, people say they know I'm from the northeast because nothing is measured in miles, it's all measured in time.

Being a former elite level cyclist who raced all over Europe, there are piles of amazing roads that rival these in the Pyrenees and other parts of the Alps (Dolomites). However, most are narrow, not even posts along the side, and a mistake is pretty much certain death. Growing up on the back mtn roads of NY, sight…

I have a TR4 built in late 1962 right now I just started to restore this week. Another great pursuit car Britain had was the Daimler SP250, also known as the Dart over there.

Love it. It's doing things like this that make people's day, and are rewarding in and of themselves. Well done!

Also, riding with no helmet is pretty stupid and suicidal, even worse than running red lights and crossing the yellow line. Idiots.

In my 22 years as an elite level road racing cyclist, I never had an incident like this. In fact, in all the states and countries I lived in and raced and rode in, I had maybe half a dozen run ins with motorists. Pretty simple to get along with cars. Ride like a motorcycle. Be predictable. Stop at lights. Don't ride…

This has nothing on Edd Chyna's recliner or bed, and they are much quicker.

It depends on the state for titles too. NY won't give salvage titles to anything over 8 yrs old for some reason, something about depreciation. A friend of mine went to this airfield and apparently there was a whole section of a runway with classic sportscars from pre 1980.

I actually had to climb this in a bike race when I was a racing cyclist. Many off the path roads we raced on would be epic drives.

After seeing Flipper the Fiat 500 at COTA a week ago end up rolling twice in 2 days, not so sure how I feel about these, though the Abarth is was may stable.

Worst experience I had was in my Jag XK140 roadster. This was 1997. Drove from Indy to the Hudson Valley of NY where I'm from. Great car, but hot, loud, if it rained I was wet, but it was an adventure. To put it in perspective, doing the same drive a month later in my Triumph TR7 convertible was much more pleasant.

You really did Newman and all the cars and brands he helped a disservice not mentioning them. He won the SCCA National Championship in the "obsolete" Triumph TR6 after buying it from Group 44, against Group 44's TR7. He then switched to Datsun, and really put the later Z cars on the map with the 280Z. He used his…

I was in high school in upstate NY when a guy went missing. They found his car with his body in it buried in snow on one of the more remote roads near Hunter Mtn in the Catskills. A few months later.

Don't forget the Traction Avante was the car of choice for the French Resistance in WWII also. Just makes it even greater for beating the Germans in yet another way.

Lancia Fulvia. A well sorted one even has power on oversteer they got it so right. Handles similar to RWD with FWD traction.

Rt 28A in the Catskills is pretty awesome, and there are plenty of incredible roads off it to the east and southeast.

Hahaha! I'm not worried about bystanders, just the occupants. Call me crazy, but not taking huge risks like this seems like a good idea. As to the questions I'm sure will be raised about my experience or skills, I've raced various formula for 17 years, and also spent over 4 years in Special Forces, so no, I'm not…

No, that's incredibly stupid, irresponsible, and potentially fatal. One thing goes wrong and the minivan hits a cherry tree most likely seriously injuring, maiming, or killing the occupants. There's a reason Cherry is a hardwood. Hit a cherry tree and find out. Sorry, but this has no place being glorified. If…
