Ironically, what he said about the Heinkel was directly inverse to what he’d normally say about his catch, which, to be fair, he usually had backed up with photographic evidence (he really is an authority on fish, being that it was his job to be for thirty-odd years!)

I have it on (relatively) good authority that these go plenty fast enough without any extra help. I say “relatively” because my dad is that authority, and, well... he’s an angler. And anglers have a certain penchant for embellishing a story. His story was about travelling to Dublin from Belfast in one (100 miles on…

That must make this your ultimate vehicle.

I’m not a Toyota fan by any stretch of the imagination, and I feel these cars are over-designed (an illness with current car design, which seems to be getting somewhat of a welcome push-back with the Honda E and the Hyundai Weird Character 45 Weird Character). But in saying that, in a market awash with cross-overs,…

My new wife and I killed a rental Jeep Renegade in Sicily while honeymooning this past summer. It felt very big. My at home daily driver is a Volvo V70, but... Sicily.

it has a manual transmission so that much of the remaining human American population won’t be able to steal it while fighting for survival.

^{That DLO though. I’d be like this trying to see out of it.}

Oh same here. 

Am I the only one who thinks this is McLaren’s best looking car? The design is a little more restrained and the rear less greebly than their other offerings. I get that it’s intended to be a little more sedate than the rest of their lineup, though it still looks plenty sporty, but I just think this whole package suits…

Considering how much of a deathtrap the tin-top Ka was (my favourite teacher in school was killed in one), I can’t imagine removing the roof made the Street Ka any safer. I think I’ve seen a total of three of them on the road. Or the same one three times. 

In my head, I apply the same logic I do when I see people reticent about using their headlamps or indicators: they’re worried they’re goin g to cost themselves money by using too much power, or that they’ll burn the bulbs out. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if people a fucking dim enough to think that way. Pun…

So glad I didn’t have to scroll too far for this. Always makes me laugh. 

It makes the same power as my Volvo, with the same displacement, only it’s naturally aspirated and has one less cylinder. And it’s two and a quarter thousand pounds lighter. Damn.

I know the cry of LS swap is a bit worn thin by now, but I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch for a Disco considering the origins of that Rover V8 back in the sixties. There’s common ancestry, somewhere.

McKenna is a common Co. Monaghan name, where I live. Explains a lot. 

I have honestly never seen such sour grapes. 

I’m expecting your superior teammate’s mechanics should be calling around any minute now. 

That’s modern F1 for you. Rosberg has a solid 3.6 Roentgen personality, relatively speaking. 

Whining must be unique to Nico, eh?

You forgot “amazingly talented actor you might know from commercials such as...”
