Well I’m kind of partial to the DB4, but really, the greatest Aston of all time is the DBR1.

IIIIIIIINTERESTING.

Porschniki.

You want to know what the new old Aston is like to drive, don’t you? Here you go.

Oh for fucks sake.  Now I’ve got to spend the next 3 hours looking at old Saabs on the internet and convincing myself not to buy one.  WHY HAVE YOU MENTIONED SAAB?!?!?!?!

A Trojan?

If you were unfamiliar with Toronados and matadors, this could pass as concept art for the first Star Wars. That’s Tatooine, you see, with Luke and his landspeeder.

Watched and laughed my ass off at both.

So many changes I wonder if the “slant” is still the same angle.

Engine swap out of necessity not fun:

My father was one of the people that used that stupid x-ray foot thingie. Sure it wasn’t enough to irradiate him but he looking at your foot-bones in your shoe proved to be quite the novelty!

“Man I just learned that Paul McCarntey was in a band before he went solo . . . it was called Wings.”

“One or two people say that this is the exact [Niva] that their grandfather had.” Another guy was once “almost overwhelmed to tears” by the car.

I’ve shared my Lada experience around here before, but it seem appropriate to mention again here.

. . . . the 19-year-olds in Brooklyn who ironically wear t-shirts featuring bands that were popular when I was 19.

Tuesdays are kind of blah days, right? I got an idea: let’s jumpstart the day with a real face-punch of some absolutely top-notch old-school graphic design. Look at this spread from a 1962 Citroën Ami brochure. Hot damn, that’s good graphic design. All pre-computers by decades, too, of course. Someone is cutting stuff…

Here is my 1992 miki biasion edition with the blue top big turbo. Now happily living in Houston Texas. Your review is spot on, especially about the gearbox. The steering however is so sharp I can compare it to an evo x or 1m in terms of feel and responsiveness. The delta evo is more fun though.
