Just got a car that does this and I’m still in two minds about it.

Cape Canaveral has chain link fences, if that, since the whole area is largely a wildlife refuge. Of course the security is tighter around the actual launch facilities.

I read it as cars (vehicles) actually launched in your birth year, but money no object. Assuming you can find one that’s not rusted into the ground etc. (Less of a problem for cars from ‘96).

But it’s been more than 25 years since 1976, so you an pick cars from anywhere in the world! How about a first gen Esprit?

Those last three (the Land Rover, the Jeep, and the VW Bus) all stayed on sale looking almost identical for years and years.

I found that article too :)

His helmet said ‘Dana Williamson’ on the side. I think he’s one of the curators?

I dunno, you can pick up 1970/80's RR quite cheap, and they surprisingly don’t seem to cost the earth to repair.

I’ve never bought a car new, so I don’t know, but what possesses people to buy a car in the exact same colour as everyone else?

Ah I see, thanks Mercedes!

Is that the answer to the question: “Why is this a slideshow?”

I watched it with a couple of mates and we spent the entire time taking the piss. That made the experience a lot better.

From what I hear Dacia aren’t spending their non-balloon time working on reliability. They’re cheap for a reason...

How long until Tesla starts making chips for cars?

The W8 is smaller than all the V8's I could find stats for, most notably it’s only 45cm long (~18").

IIRC the only time in the whole of the UK’s Highway Code that the phrase “right of way” is used is regarding pedestrians. Everywhere else, when discussing cars etc., it just talks about ‘priority’.

Still need to drive a manual to get a full UK driving license.

In the UK most driving instructors (used to?) drive diesels, mostly because they’re harder to stall. So it’s much easier to move off without touching the throttle.
