Does the owner actually think this is a 600? Because, if so, he and I need to have some words

Dude, get your books together. This is not a Fiat 600. It’s a Fiat 500.

It is a terribly lifeless and streamlined rendition of the original, though.

Such a beautiful car, but oh so technically flawed. I believe it’s one of the only cars ever built that managed to oversteer and understeer at the same time.

That’s a super lame logo, it looks more appropriate to one of those designer-imposters fragrance.

Here in Brazil a designer named Mario Richard Hofstetter built a few cars based on Thiago Maserati.

Personally, I’m a fan of the Laetitia Casta Marianne

Well, as the local French guy (half Irish, mind you) she isn’t wearing the Phrygian cap, so this is not Marianne, sorry. But thank you for mentioning our sexy goddess of freedom and democracy. 

It can fit a metric fuckton and the hydropneumatic suspension will automagically make the car level again.
Lovely cars. Shame they rust like any cheap 70s european car...

Yes. Racing powerful cars is dangerous. Bruce Mclaren was killed in one of his Can-Am M8s at Goodwood while testing. OTOH, Bob Wollek was killed riding his bike in Sebring, FL.

Completely forgot the most beautiful US car, the British AC Cobra.

But can we agree the greatest “US” fighter, the P-51, was the result of the British Purchasing Commission request and then sucked until it got the British designed Merlin engine?

During the period under discussion here, though, Great Britain was very much at the forefront of aviation, punching ‘way above their weight class given the constraints of war and postwar austerity — the “Sandys storm” was still many years in the future.

Not saying anything bad about Chuck, and certainly not giving Clarkson any props - he’s a giant arse after all - but the Concorde was a supercruising civilian transport capable of carrying over 100 passengers at a cruising velocity of Mach 2.

Really, I almost feel like the 323 GTX’s partsbin has more love than the 323 GTX itself.

I was lucky enough to visit Zuffenhausen last year, and the 959 was a hero of my youth, so of course I hunted it down. But there was another car parked next to the Rally de Pharoans 959 that really blew me away. To support the 959 on its campaign, Porsche needed a suitable support vehicle, something that could remain…

Ottifanten are several of Otto’s (German /East-Frisian comedian, s. https://www.ottifant.de/) signature cartoon elefants. So the prototype’s nickname is probably Ottifant (singular) rather than Ottifanten (plural).

Is it bad that I would rather drive the 959 than the F40? To be fair, I would also rather drive the 288 GTO over the F40 too, but the 959 just seems so special. I saw one at Stanford when I was a teenager and fell in love immediately.

And like an extremely fine watch, the base Patek Calatrava with the simple gold bezel still looks a trillion times better than their most complicated watches.
