I let one get away years ago :(

I was on my phone and didn’t have time to write anything. For anyone who has extra half hour to spend. THIS. This is beyond important piece of history, future and some well positioned speculation on Saudi Arabia. Also very much about USA

I can’t remember the title but there is a book about pit crews and F1 circus of 60s and 70s. In this book Lotus tech compares Hill and Clark. Hill really pays attention to car’s setup. This goes so far that tech crew starts to fool him at some point. Clark is much more relaxed about setup and just drives. Both were…

Also, strangely, a city in Sweden.

Random thought:

Without going into stylistic or mechanical things, FWD BMWs look just wrong to me. They (like most modern FWD cars) have absolutely massive front overhangs with minimal space between front wheel well and front door. Compare current FWD 1-series with last RWD 1-series, pretty similar style but front wheel has moved…

My bad, I fixated on speculating that Kristensen clip with Fairlane or Galaxie harassing Alfas and Cortinas as they are little bit more equal. My point is that today by fooling around with shocks and anti roll bars there’s most likely more to be gained with something like Fairlane as compared to Alfa or Lotus. Also…

I don’t know what is under the hood of all these things and what are the rules at Revival for example but I think what is partially happening at least is that during the years the aftermarket for American cars has offered more advances for the engine and for the chassis. For example Alfa & Lotus Cortina engines and…

This is what I’m wondering too. 300mph sounds almost like a consolation prize. I bet they were actually aiming at 311mph aka 500kph. Still crazy crazy crazy fast.

Few years ago we went to Goodwood with my friend and my dad. Some two minutes after we parked to the plebeian parking lot we spotted reaallly fine looking 911 from less than 100 meters. It took us maybe three seconds with my friend to realize what we were looking at. Of course it was Singer parked among (mostly)…

Well to be honest if it's going to have several hundred horses, having those heavy axles below would be ...interesting.

Body on frame? Solid axles? Manual locks?

Have a look at Harry’s garage for reference

I know it’s definitely not 80s but quintessentially 90s but...

It is certainly true those are mighty fun but fact it there used to be one not quite like others and that is the 1-series. Cars are getting closer and closer to each other. In essence those all are variations of theme mostly defined perhaps by Golf, the size and the drive train, the very basics of the car.

My friend just bought about 20 year old 110" pickup. I absolutely love it. It is hilariously cramped, my friend is rather large and he had to unscrew the door handle which I’ve heard is pretty much standard thing to do for anyone that has little bit more girth than average. For me the ergonomics are surprisingly good…

My nomination for next Tracy project

Sweet! I recognized the Honda but having something like that in Moke sounds like a recipe for proper shenanigans!
