I had an ‘07 RS4 and I still miss that car. Getting a ‘13 TT RS which only came in manual was a great substitute. But I’d love another RS4. Thing is, what I loved about the RS4 more than anything was the sound of that V-8, especially the first cold-start of the day. Luckily the TT RS with a downpipe on that 5-banger…

I’m sorry, but that logic is very flawed, IMO, and is a solution in search of a problem. I do almost all the cooking in my house, and my other half almost always does the dishes. However, when I make something, I make as much or as little mess as the dish I’m making requires. If you are in a relationship with someone…

I’ll tell you what kept me on the paved portions of the ‘Ring. I rented a Cayman S from RSR Nurburg to do 8 laps on the Nordschleife, indeed a bucket-list thing for me. They day I went, there was myself, and 3 other guys, they were all English, and oddly enough, we all had our adult children with us. They had rented…

Exception please: Alfa Romeo V-6

You can have that, as long as I get the following: A line code in every car’s computer that prevents people from turning them on and *driving* with them on! Especially in the rain!

There are in fact many. In my line of work I frequently use moon balloon lights. One or two can light up a dinner event for 500.

Let me clarify, now that I know you meant the recordings of the cars. I was referring to music, I should have specified that. I own a bunch of binaurally recorded music, and it sounds amazing on headphones, but on conventional speakers it tends to have too much separation and the eventual mixing of the right and left…

Ah, gotcha. Lol, boy do I feel dumb.

Which binaural recordings are you referring to?

Actually it’s the dummy head, and has little to nothing to do with the shape of the ears on the dummy head. It’s the solid mass between the two mics that matters.

Hello, wait, please. Let’s not confuse stereo and binaural. Almost all binaural recordings are stereo, almost no stereo recordings are binaural. A binaural recording uses a dummy head with mics located in the ears of the dummy head. The Neumann KU 100 is perhaps the most common in use. BTW, it costs $8000 for that…

Looks like a 4-door Fiat 500 Abarth to me.

Nope. Thanks for playing though.

I think you’re confusing Audi drivers with BMW drivers.

They don’t have a thread of evidence connecting the spider to the accident. I read it on the world wide web. Obviously.

Mercedes-Benz’s 959

I shall flog my TT-RS on the way home tonight, in all it’s glorious, Group B rally car sound!

Even less once you add the obnoxious, yet almost obligatory “Baby On Board” sign, your stick figure family, and the sticker that proudly tells the world your child won the didnt-pick-his-nose-for-a-month award at Meadow Snail Elementary.

I enjoyed it very much, and I only wonder just how different it might have been had Gandolfini remained alive and had completed this project. I know he was going to play Box himself, and this was a big project for him before his untimely passing. Also, I’ve never seen the BBC original on which this was based, to…

Is that a Figoni & Falaschi body on the Delahaye. Gorgeous, but too cartoonish, too over-the-top. The Lancia has much more class, IMO.
