I’ll take that Suzuki Wagon R RR in the background if it has a manual trans please and thanks! :)

Cool writeup though - I like the honesty of them as well!

Simple but intriguing problem! Were you able to order the part? If not, I imagine modeling up and 3D printing a similar replacement would be relatively simple?

I like the idea of Electric Cars, but call me back when I can get ~600km of range in 5 minutes with my current ICE.

They’ll get there though....the tech is improving, but it will be awhile before A. any electric cars are capable of that and, more importantly, B. a LONG while before there is an international network and…

Right, sorry, I keep getting those mixed up....the LNA was the one related to the 104....

Amen friend, we share similar tastes! Can’t wait to hear more on the Visa! :D

Growing up I had a thing for 50's American cars, specifically 55/56/57 Chevys, but as I grew older and my tastes changed, my love switched to the mirror opposite....now my automotive preference is basic, small, cheap clever European or Japanese vehicles or vehicles from the Eastern Bloc...a far cry from American…

With you on that one!

Not sure where you are, but here in Nova Scotia everybody pulls over to the right when driving at the first sound of a siren/sight of lights to make way for the emergency vehicle...?

Ha! That Ford Escort GT, I saw one in the same color and same spec in near-as-mint a shape as that one at the local McDonald’s here in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia a few months back - even took a pic because I knew how rare it was, especially here in the road-salt-murders-every-car land known as Canada!

Love the wheels on…

Excellent article gents - thoroughly enjoyed reading all that! Reading a new article on how the new BMW M3 is great or some such is one thing, but articles like this are truly interesting because now I understand something new, and I also appreciate how much ingenuity engineers and designers have to have to create…

Is it better than a Trabant?

Is it me or does the guy in the driver’s seat look a lot like Patrick? Possibly with a moustache?

I’ve been following along with this car, but, forgive me for asking in case I missed it, but what ever DID happen to the old Baja? Did it get scrapped? Do you still have it tucked away somewhere?

I actually quite like it!

That is awesome!

There are a lot of nice cheap Nakeds out there for import!

I would like to state that you have a Cappuccino and are therefore my hero.

If you rent a Trabant, you are my hero. Those are exactly the type of cars I love...quirky, small, weird, clever engineering, basic, Euro and/or Japanese....looking forward to a freelance article or at least Oppo posts about that adventure if it comes to fruition!

Also....if you record video of it, don’t use a mirrored…

Going to miss seeing you around these parts Stef! Make sure you’re still a regular commenter here and on Oppo!!!

No, a car that is pretty much like every other NASCAR except with Supra-shaped body panels on a steel tube chassis that is most definitely not a Supra in any way other than in name and said vaguely Supra-shaped body panels is going to run in NASCAR.

Not criticizing your post at all by the way Justin, just pointing out…
