But enough picking on Porsche, because they're far from the worst. My personal favorite is the new Range Rover Plug-In Hybrid, which isn't out yet in the States. Thank God. I say this because the new plug-in Range Rover is capable of traveling… wait for it… yes, that's right, ONE MILE on electric power alone, before…

I don't know about the law in the US but in the UK the law is quite clear that the person on the major road has the right of way and the person merging has to be able to merge safely or yield. Nowadays most people just come down the slip road, indicate and join thinking that they have the right of way.

And this video, from AutoEvolution, seems to support the four-cylinder-only rumor as well, hearing how the engine make a distinct buzzing noise, and not that weird and delightful rasp that five-pots tend to make.

I saw this a while ago and just had to get proof.

They also call it a "vintage" car, which could be accurate, but since the Ambassador has been in production with exactly the same body style since Pythagoras was in diapers, I'm not even sure that claim is accurate. Still, based on the indicators, the Amby in the pictures doesn't look like too recent a model.

If you know Indy history, you know how important Miller's mustache and overhead cam design was. The design not only won the Indy 500 dozens of times over the decades, but it provided the basis for Bugatti's legendary race-winning OHC motors, as well. The engine design was a team effort though, as Maxton86 explains:

This made me laugh more than the original article! Nice reference to the IT Crowd:-)

When all is said and done it's a car. They were designed to be driven and using it as a method of transport is exactly right.

Not a problem if the system has been designed to do it from the outset.

It's measured using the the proper (imperial) gallons, not the silly small US gallons...

Just because it was on a previous list doesn't mean that it's still not worse than a lot of the movies on this list. This should be called "The 10 Worst Car Movies Of All Time (Unless we've talked about them somewhere else)".

How on earth did Driven get missed from this list. The new Death Race is much better than Driven ever was!

OK - so a few from me on this side of the pond.

I know that I'll probably get shot down for this but there is very little of the original car left in Ralph Lauren's example. When he had it rebuilt for the Pebble Beach concourse a lot of the original parts were removed and replaced with no justification other than to make it 'better than new' which has, of course,…

The Bugatti has positive camber to ensure that the king-pin centre line is acting through the contact patch of the wheel. Makes the steering lighter & easier to use.

Okay, while we're waxing poetic about how wonderful old cars, can we at least mention how awful drum brakes were? I don't think anyone misses those. Clay recognized this, and replaced the drums with discs at all four corners. They're a hodgepodge of parts from other BMWs and Volvos, and Volkswagens, but whatever they…

Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching TV and drinking a beer when he hears a knock at the door. When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Japanese man, clutching a clipboard and yelling, "You Sign! You sign!" Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts.

Nelson is standing there in complete amazement,…

I think it's got to be the V16 BRM. Not a road car but if we're allowed anything then this has got to be one of the most distinctive sounding cars of all time.
