Wing mirrors are production sized - my guess is that with the exception of the suicide doors this will be on sale next year.

Stuff like that makes me think it’s not going to happen. If they were considering making it for real they’d have to have this stuff worked out already, otherwise it’s still three years or more away.

I’m not hopeful. That hinge doesn’t really scream “Production engineered” to me.

I wonder if there’s an interesting story behind this one. Fiat 127s were sold in the UK at least with the steering wheel on the correct side (for Japan!):

I still think there’s a chance for Bethesda to fix it with DLC - in the same way that Broken Steel changed the ending of Fo3 they could have something up their sleeves. That would be a bit of a shitty thing to do though.

It’s currently off the road (which is not uncommon for rare cars over the winter) but last passed its annual inspection on November 5th 2015.

Came here to post this. Well, not this exactly. I was going to go for one of him in a kilt.

It’s the other way around for me really. Most of the cars I love are terrible.

No, just a guy who used to commute in a Triumph Dolomite that displayed this characteristic. The SU carburettors fitted to that car are much easier to set up than a Weber or Holley style carb, and are a little bit more intelligent in terms of design - rather than dumping extra fuel in they alter the size of the choke…

Carburettors are generally not very good at city fuel economy due to imprecise mixture control. If you are travelling at a steady speed they’re pretty much as good as fuel injection (with the exception of things like overrun cutoff).

Good work. For a moment I thought “Surely the internet doesn’t have a picture of a speed-limited porch on a highway?” but luckily I was proved wrong.

Not my car, and really the discovery of an absence, but never mind. I was driving in my E30 316 which I bought for $600 or so following my friend’s old 944 which be bought for $750 or so. We were on our way to the Nurburgring, driving along the M20 towards Dover in the UK when I saw something drop down at the rear of…

This was going to be terrible from the moment that Evans was announced. And it’s not just the Sun having a pop - the Daily Mail has got in on the act too.

I’m going to guess friendly restraint. She’s off her face and has probably tried to run away from her (admittedly only slightly less off her face) friends. So the heavier of the two is sitting on her to keep he safe, and the other one is trying to remember how her telephone works so she can ring for a)her dad or b)a…

So long as you don’t spill anyone’s drink, you’ll be fine.

Here’s another.

True enough. The technology is mature enough to get ground effect to work safely, and that would allow cars that aren’t far off teardrop shaped on top while still giving limpet-like grip.

Neither does this guy. He can’t be fired; he’d have to be recalled (and that would be the first time it’s ever happened in the UK as the law has only been in power since March).

This is late 80s, I guess 1988, and the cassette was £1.50 - adjusted for inflation and exchange rates that’s $6.39 in today’s money.

Thinking about it, he was professor at a northern university - which means he drove a Volvo wagon.
