National Moneymints, as Ed Abbey called them. I’d argue that they need less infrastructure in the first place. What Zinke could do that I would agree with is tripling (or more) the fees for tour buses and helicopter tours.

They need a prefix like USS or HMS... perhaps, hmm, let’s see... HSV? Honorable Ship Viking? That’s it, the good ship HSV Commodore. I really hope there’s some V8 noise worked in when those engines fire off.

There’s a video of Mr. Hamilton leaving his driveway...

Worse, pretty sure I have PTSD from clutches and turbos!

I would prefer to forget, those things are a nightmare to work on.

Fuckin’ Jerry. Love that old fire truck, been there forever as I recall.

They/we are planning to ban new ICEs. Big difference, and nowhere past the idea stage. I’d be more than happy to commute in an electric car, if it means I can take my 2002 out for a rip on the weekend.

Didn’t Aston Martin ink some kind of engine deal with AMG for their road cars? Hmmm...

This was only possible because there’s now a bunch more asphalt inside the curb at the Corkscrew. They added a bunch on the exit of 6 too, cars have their left wheels outside that curb now. Also, I’m not sure who was in it at the time, but earlier in the race the Florida car damn near knocked the #2 ESM DPi off turn 5…

Ah yes, the Flowbra.

This just in: David Tracy now into British cars.

There is no decent light beer. It doesn’t exist. So the unspoken punchline here is that the GLAMG43E shouldn’t exist, which is absolutely true.

See, this is the best way to do electric classics. Repower to pokey ones, leave the glorious engines in place.

I generally agree with that premise, and there are numerous classics out there that wouldn’t lose much with a change in motivation (Rolls Royces come to mind, they’re whisper quiet anyway), but have you ever driven one of these? To me, the XK engine is as important to the E-Type story as its beauty, and defines the…

This is really cool, and I love that they made the electric powertrain look something like an engine. This is the best possible electric future, but...

Fear not, for you have the skill. I was looking at my sad Lancia in the garage this morning with the same thought of the mountain ahead.

This is exactly what I had in mind. That, and cowl gaps you can put a finger in.

You know you’re the master troll that’s going to do this, right?

I, for one, would love to see a master troll Series enthusiast do this, and film a walkaround on the show field with judges. “Oi, this bit’s a fookin’ royt mess, innit? Joost as she were made, bless ‘em!”

“Well, you see, my ‘70 Challenger has horrible panel gaps and overspray everywhere because that’s how they built it...”
