Haven’t been browsing Jalop for a long time. Came to see if Torch had any new cool classic VW’s to share. Sigh. Talk about tooting your own horn.

Oh that color is bursting with some serious umami.

That’s how the trunk lids on the classic Minis open.

A lot of people are saying that he might be the new industrial park test driver for the Grand Tour.

Damn you MotorTurdOnDemand. Not only did you have me sign up so I can watch Le Mans, your app doesn’t stream live content on your FireTV app so I’m watching Le Mans on an iPad!

A Ghia designed, Karmann built Toyota.  Who would have thought?

I prefer to watch the Gyro Cup for my comedic 3 wheeled racing enjoyment.

Hawaii?  One could actually manage to live in Honolulu speaking only Japanese.  

Amazing how times have changed in such a short time. Compared to the practically fully automated 0-2 person(?) job it might be today, it looks like it took around 8 people to mate the drivetrain with the unibody in that video.

To prevent the windows from fogging up. Having no functioning heater, it helped blow air towards the windshield and circulated just enough air to prevent all the windows from fogging up. If I wasn’t moving fast enough, I still had to resort to using my 6" squeegee to defrost but that’s expected when the windshield is…

Well, never thought I’d read anything like this but I might have created a new enhanced interrogation technique.

Well, this probably doesn’t help much with security, but who cares when it already has a soft top.

That Niva does look a lot more like Groucho Marx than the car I used to the call Groucho Marx car. My cousin had an ‘82 Chrysler Fifth Ave back in the day. Like the Niva, the parking lights were above the headlights. It always reminded me of Groucho Marx bu now that I look at it, the Niva is a lot more Groucho like.

They didn’t do too bad with those wheels but they sure FUBAR’ed everything else around them.

Well, they do keep making them bigger and bigger these days:(

My then brand new TL-S had its grill crushed in by the Suburban parked in front of me in Forest Hills once. Shit out of luck in my case as well.

That Chiron blew past that Space Shuttle like it was standing still.

Wouldn’t that squiggly mount provide the driver with a better view and lesson the A-pillar/side mirror blind spot prevalent in modern vehicles? If the mount is level with the mirror, it would probably obstruct a decent amount of view.

I wish there were more people who felt the same so the ridiculous prices of air-cooled 911's could drop below the silly range.

At least the view towards the normal direction of travel is decent enough. Much easier to drive with a pillbox view towards the back then towards the front a la Camaro.
