If I remember correctly the V8 has the aluminum subframe to offset the weight addition. The six has the better rack an pinion steering though.

On my Austin Healey Sprite it was the ignition timing. When I got it I assumed the timing was good because it ran ok and I trusted the person I got it from that it was tuned well. It was the only one I had ever driven so I didn’t know how strong the engine was supposed to be.

My MK2 Sprite has a single light on the dash as well, however it blinks with the turn signal.

I definitely agree with this and one of the reasons I love my Oldsmobile and BMW e36. Only complaint I have on getting parts for the Oldsmobile can be very hard now. I am currently looking for a new rear door gasket and not having any luck. Unlike the older BMWs, domestic cars don’t seem to have as deep of a parts…

Metallic Red Oldsmobile 88

I agree. I went to the Detroit Auto show this year and didn’t see a single car that really excited me. The Nissan Sentra with a manual did catch my attention for 5 minutes, but that is it.

The 4 bar linkage wipers on BMW e38s and e39s are awesome too. They sweep a lot like the Benz single wiper.

Most of the things I agree with you one, except the oil filter. The paper canister filter is the single greatest thing. So much less mess than a spin on filter under the car and from a waste stand point, much better for the environment. One can just take a big wrench to the filter cap, twist it open and pop out the…

I loved me the throttle response on my S62. I ran it once for a short rev in my garage with the top of the plenum off like seen in the photo above, it was a glorious sound.

It would become dust very quickly and then become a grinding compound for your cylinder walls.

I have lived in a snowy area all my life and don’t think I have ever seen this. Must not get light dustings of snow frequently enough.

The first gear on my Austin Healey Sprite is straight cut as well, just like the reverse. Makes a great sound pulling away from an intersection.

That first video sure sounds like an Austin A series engine. I suspect the car is a Mini.

I have found that 100% of young children, stop in their tracks to look and point at my car. I have no idea why...

Driving a slow car really does make you appreciate enjoying the sites and scenes more. When ever I drive my Sprite I can drive it hard and have fun yet still get the full sense of everything around me as the world really isn’t wizing by that quickly. Plus, if someone wants to jump the line on me at at stop light, they…

Honestly, I could swing the 4C if I wanted to spend that much on a car. The last time I was at the Fiat dealer I was asked if I wanted to test the 4C after testing a Fiat 124, I declined entirely because I would only want it if there were a manual option. They are cool cars, sound great, look nice, and move well.…

What ever happened to cars with cool glass like this? In my opinion, the glass is what makes a car beautiful, if it is applied correctly glass can be a stunning portion of a car. This is probably why I like 90s cars so much, many of them have very cool curved glass and nice green houses to see out of.

They were actually sold from the factory as Postal vehicles. They were quite popular around where I live, on occasion my mail delivery person still drives one.

I get comments like yours on my 99 Oldsmobile 88. It looks mint on the outside and the inside is nearly perfect too, though starting to show it’s age.

My 1962 Austin Healey Sprite. Last summer my twin brother and I put over 2000 miles on this car. This summer I m hopping to put even more miles on it. I even daily drove it for 3 weeks straight, rain or shine since I had sold my daily driver.
