It’s called the Jumpy because it’s the smaller brother of the Citröen Jumper a.k.a the most popular van in Europe. Simply put, life in Europe would stop without all the Jumpys and Jumpers (and their rebadged cousins), e.g. where I’m from DHL and UPS use both as their delivery vehicles. Great fuel economy, fits in the…

I saw that last truck at a car show many years ago. Wish I could find a picture of the engine, it’s a work of art.

You can count on another Polish driver, Robert Kubica, to not do much lifting as well. The first 3 minutes of this video should already prove it.
Love the tiny Fiat too, I wonder how fast it is, relative to other cars. That’s not a lot of car for such huge balls.
Also a huge BMW fan, still love fast Volvos. Came upon this when browsing the local for-sale ads, exactly how I like it. AWD, 6-speed, 360whp, fuck yeah.
Indeed there was a 740D also but I believe they are quite rare wherever you go. I love both E38 and E39 bimmers, great cars with a very classic styling. There’s a E39 530d for sale that I have my eye on, factory M-tech, alcantara sport seats, manual. Take the turbo from a E60, add exhaust, chip it and you’ve got a bit…
That engine might sound good to all the Jalops here but it really isn’t. Where I live they are everywhere and not really popular for a number of reasons. They don’t hold up well, fuel mileage is not that good, a car this size ideally needs more power, etc. I’ve been looking at facelifted E38 730Ds recently and good…
Oh yeah I’ve seen it. While I find an 800hp fwd car to be rather pointless it is a good showcase of what the guys at Nordic can do. I’ve thought about more power for my own car but sadly the 9-5 Aero engine is nowhere near as strong as the one in the 9k and to be honest 300hp is plenty for a daily driver. I did once…
I daily a 300hp “nordic stage 3” 9-5 aero and quite a few of the problems you mentioned sound familiar. Still I love that car and while I’ve thought about selling it more than once I really don’t want to.
Absolutely, I think the whole garage is equally amazing. I love how enthusiastic the first guy there was, they could have made the video 2 hours long if they only wanted to.

What is interesting is right after seeing this post I saw a clip of the same shop on youtube where the 151 makes a quick appearance too. Cool car, much cooler workshop.
While it’s no performance car, per se, my Nordic stage 3 Aero is a whole lot fun to drive and a total sleeper. 300hp/440nm and it still returns decent gas mileage. 30-70 is where I need that power the most anyway and it’s an LSD away from being quick off the line also. It’s not perfect and most likely will be replaced…
Life there is worse than it seems, if anything the propaganda is making it look better. Take it from someone who is not half way around the world form them. The Detroit of the world is a decent enough comparison.
To be honenst I too would gladly stand there, I guess it's part of the appeal of motor racing, the slight adrenaline you get just watching the cars go by. I wasn't really criticizing you and for some reason I figured this has happened before. Some seriously fast laps have been driven on that track and the Group C cars…
Absolutely right and i suspect that's exactly what they will be doing. They just can't ban all these cars outright, that would absolutely kill the whole appeal of the series. Gt3 cars are perfect for the track, if anything they could maybe limit the power with restrictors, but banning it outright is stupid. Race cars…
No offence but I'm surprised that throughout the over 40 races you've spectated there, not once was there a situation that made you thnik twice about being in that exact spot. The cars are coming 200+ km/h over a crest, straight at you and are doing wheelies every lap.
Problem is that the Focus is a very well know car, especially in Europe where most of these will be sold. By now you wouldn't really fool anyone into thinking this is anything but a hopped up Focus and why should you, they are great cars for the money and Ford's european RS models have always been a lot of fun.
In addition to sticky tires most high hp pro cars have massive spoilers on them and not just for looks, grip is important too. 80+mph entries on shit tires would be suicidal. Think of it this way, once you've pulled the e-brake the car is sliding right towards the wall (or whatever) and the only way to not hit it…
Yeah, similar in principle to the BiMoto, just without the huge scoop it had later on and not as much power I think. Sadly there's not much info on it on the internet. But the weather is improving and project cars are lurking the streets again, maybe this year I'll get a closer look at it.
Sadly I can't find any pictures at the moment but there is a TT here in Estonia that has two 1.8T engines, one in the front and one in the back. It looks rather stock on the outside, just a few extra louvres and vents to help the rear engine breathe, otherwise the body looks stock.
