I knew I was in for a good time when I saw those ugly chrome boat anchors, a garbage bag window, a backwards baseball cap, and an unsecured suburban subdivision driveway.

I see some definite Golf overtones to that.

It’s all about the build date and the vehicles identity. This is why something like the Cobra coupe or wadded up 250 GTO mentioned earlier would be eligible, despite an extensive rebuild (or in the cases of a number of historic competition cars, several extensive reapairs throughout its history).

to my mind anything built after the original production run has ended is a replica, and not an original vehicle, regardless of who has made it or what chassis number it wears. It’s no different than Levi’s heritage wear-the ‘50’s style 501 jeans they currently make may be made exactly the same as the ones they made…

Interesting, I was under the impression that the Yugo was, at least in part, based around the Fiat design. I know that the 127 was built in Eastern Europe (the Polski Fiat comes to mind), I beg that's where I got the idea.

I remember that episode. Both of those NA’s looked shiny, but you could see the ripples in the panelwork and kind of beat up interiors. They were probably bought at the bottom end of Craigslist or out of a scrapyard. Similarly the BMW they dropped from a helicopter looked like a total shed.

Now, when they cut up an…

I absolutely agree with the Grifo, one of my favorite cars.

The Yugo looked better when it was called Fiat 127. Not great, but better.

The Gordon Keeble GT

You know I was talking about bicycles, not motorbikes, right? Cause I get that confusion a lot!

Yeah, I think it’ll be a kind of a bike path bar crawl, because I know where most of my friends will be, and if I over indulge I can still walk and just lock it up till I can get someone with a rack to pick me up.

I like it but it’s comfortably over priced by a couple grand. It’d be worth it if the repaint had been done properly and the engine room in better shape.

I got today off (paid) in lieu of working tomorrow (double time), and I get out at 6, in plenty of time for barbecue and sky sparkles.

I’m sure the E30 M3 will get a bunch of votes, but I’m just going to go ahead and say the whole E30 range was a tough act for BMW to follow. Hear me out. This was a car that looked great in all it’s forms - cleanly styled, crisp, and managed that rare feat of looking as current at the end of it’s life as at the…

Comparing stock models, I actually prefer the way the JK looks compared to the TJ - it manages to look a bit sleeker as well as tougher. The TJ by comparison looks old fashioned and crude.

See, I always went the other direction - 5.0 LX. All of the speed and none of the attention. Bonus is that it’s lighter and (if memory serves) cuts through the air better.

It’s also far cheaper than more powerful alternatives. I can realistically afford even the top line Miata, which otherwise won’t get me into anything else without going used and probably higher mileage than many people want to throw at a used car (that’s not a vintage car-I’d buy something old and interesting before…

Maybe it’s just a regional thing, but if I were to drive out to the suburbs, rock up in a parking lot (even at some place that’s closed or out of business), put my car up on jack stands, and start a brake job, I’d have the police asking me questions within the hour, and would be told to move along immediately. (I’m…

I was shocked by the prices those things are getting now. I always dug older Japanese cars and thought these’d still be cheep(ish) as chips here because they’re RHD and kind of obscure even to car guys.

I was oh so wrong.

Jamiroquai is still a thing? Funny what you learn on the Internet.

I voted NP but I also feel it’s a bit over priced for its condition. Nice-ish price, I’d try to haggle it down a grand or so. Still, the body looks pretty good and it's complete-excellent starting point.
