4th gear: BMW seems to be collaborating on the engine front with so many companies now, its getting really interdasting. The famously joint-ventured with PSA to produce the i4 petrol lineup found in the Mini brand and in a lot of Citroens and Peugeots, which led to the situation, where a number of directly competing…

If i was into this Concours thingie, this might not cut it, as it would take a lot to make it look the part, but then the offer here is too high to make it a viable business option. So purely based on normal business thinking, this is CP.

Tell them how every pagani seat comes with a built-in dildo, and that the mechanics of that isn't that hard to fathom, and can be applied to more mundane cars as well, if she would want to.

And we have #1. already.

So, is that Selma Hayek, or Salma Hayek then? No nameplate on the backside, so i cannot tell...

As they are exotics around here, you can sell them at a price that includes: USDM new price + shipping + customs + DMV/MOT/TÜV or whatever is in the target country, and still find people to buy them. Now the buyers won't be from the same income bracket as in the US, but there are people looking for them - they are…

I didn't say you cannot get these cars in Europe, you put them on a boat in the US, pay customs in the European port of your choice, and get it through the local DMV - but you got to do it yourselves, the official dealers don't sell these. Check here for current British lineup: [www.ford.co.uk] - the GT shouldn't be…

In every single instance i am familiar with the backgrounds of a story run by any daily paper, i know they are wrong. So this really isn't any news.

That video looks like they played some version of race07 - incidentally the sim i play nowadays, and love to bits. I have to say, this screen would do wonders for the experience, but you know what? I would just spend a fraction of it on dedicated setup - racing seat, 22" screen, dedicated powerful PC - and spend the…

I'm seriously jelly for the 505 wagon, as for the Caprice, that's good as well, but would be a bit excess around my neck of the woods in central yurrup, even though i would love to have a v8 rwd wagon. But i digress - good for you on both accounts. If more people would go your way, there would be more wagons on the…

I dunno about the USDM, but if someone would try to sell a 323i with complete service history, excellent shape and some nice extras around here, i would nod in approval. That's an NP, simple as that.

If you play without a good wheel, then you will have to use different inputs to get similar results, as in a real car. So if you want to learn car control with a sim, you need a good wheel, to get the inputs needed closer to reality. At least that's my experience.

Buy a good wheel and play with a proper racing sim with the aids off. Cheapest way to push the envelope, plus helps to get off steam that you might otherwise do with reckless driving on an open street.

I cannot tell a lie: the NA Miata, know as the MX-5 started to gain in worth around here in central Yurrup, especially unmolested examples of course. So if this was an orange miata in excellent condition, and with a hard top, that would be NP. Not a bargain, but fair price.

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes gimme gimme gimme!!!! So much win i cannot read your words GR through my tears o'joy.

I didn't even have to read, that price is only viable if there are gold bouillons in the cargo bay. Or maybe cocaine bricks. Or a futon and on it Salma Hayek scantily dressed. You catch my drift.

I...dunno. If he went all the way and swapped the engine, why ojn earth a Coplogne V6? Those are fine motors, however, they are built not for performance, but refinement and longevity. This is the kind of engine i would swap out of something sporty, not into?

Here in Yurrup a downright excellent example of this would warrant $4.000 max, and a normal used example half that. This is an interesting car, that also happens to go well, handle well, is well made, is comfy, was designed and built for longevity _and_ has pop-ups - so that would be $4.000 i would be willing to spend…

I see this is something you US Jalops can dance to the tune of. As it doesn't ring any bells in my sad Yurpian subconscious, i only see a total PCH sold for money you can buy cars from, that, you know, run. If you say this is a seriously cool heritage of the american auto industry, and that you can make it run with…

I get your point dearest TPG, having three kids myself, i do honestly get your point. If my wife would drive, she might as well get to the same conclusion too.
