Yes, but he can do a backflip at 47. That has to count.

Loeb does not get old.

Now, that was a great article. Amazing to think people did travel 500 miles in those things.

In France, to this day, it still happens that the clerck at the rental desk ask you if you’re ok with a automatic, or if you know how to drive one.

Eh, in the late 70's my parents had to buy a car in a hurry since their Renault had been totaled and they need a new one ASAP for the summer holidays.

Same thing in France.

Tradition. Euro engines were much smaller than US V8 and a classic torque converter 3 speeds auto trans, the only option for a long time, was not a good match. Now, in a time of 7+ speeds non slipping auto trans (mated to torkey turbo or diesel PU), they are much more popular in europe, but old habits and all that.

The Airflow was such a beautiful and influential car, though. 

You do know that the passengers testified that there was a blast under the car ? And there had been hundreds of islamic terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia in the last 20 years ?

Yes, the roundabout scene is bull. The Place de l’Etoile is an exception, that works since there are 12 avenue feeding it and it’s 10 acres large... Otherwise our roundabouts are no different. There’s too much of them, though. (Pedantic distinction : What TGT described is a “rond-point”, while a regular roundabout,…

What’s wrong with a bone stock GT3RS and why would you want to mess with it ?

Wait, what ?

The Ioniq 5 is not a small hatchback at all. It may look like a Lancia Delta on the pictures (which was not a small hatchback too, BTW), but it’s actually larger than a Toyota Rav 4. 

Thank you. I was hoping you could share some anecdote about Jos.

Could you elaborate ?

I don’t hate Verstappen. I don’t know him personally and I don’t think you can really know a public person from the press or the social media. He’s probably hyper competitive and a narcissist. But all top athletes are probably like that. Especially when they reached the top of their sport at a very young age and had…

I’ve been to Flagstaff. It’s not very far from the middle of nowhere, to be honest. The area is beautiful but sparsely populated, to say the least.

In all fairness to Renault, the Zoe is basically a 2013 model tested according to 2021 standards. In 2013 it was up to date. It also lacks (on its base version) equipments like automatic emergency braking and a few airbags.

Ok, I never read those promo post. I’m glad I read that one.
