    When it takes longer to say the acronym (SVBIED) than what it is (truck bomb), you know something’s gone wrong with the military’s obsession for acronyms.

    Everyone was doing it. What about the farcical virtual safety car?

    Damn you and your facts getting in the way of a perfectly good clickbaity “Mclarens too fast for race series!!!” story!

    Because you came to motorcycling the traditional way. This article is not for you, it’s for slightly rotund forty-somethings who’ve seen a Belstaff catalogue.

    I’m sure everyone will be frothing for a long roof manual diesel. In actual fact 90hp in a car this big means it’ll barely be able to get out of its own way, the poverty spec will mean that not only will it take forever to get where you’re going but it’ll also be a tremendously uncomfortable journey and the price is

    The only Motor Trend product I’m familiar with is Roadkill. In my opinion Jalopnik is on a steady slope down from entertaining automotive ephemera to a miasma of auto hipsterism.

    I came here expecting to be the only person to comment asking what the blistering fuck is going on. It appears that others have beaten me to the punch. Could it perhaps be that this sort of nonsense, together with similarly idiotic show us the best obscure piece of french shit which isn’t an obscure piece of french

    We have Citroen C1 one-make racing over here in Italy. Modifications are limited to safety ones and a very loud exhaust to amplify the three cylinder drone. Seeing a massed start of 35 Citroen C1s is nothing short of breathtaking. The revs rise and the tortured smell of dozens of fried clutches follow. The

    There must be some good drugs in the water at Jalopnik Towers.

    Anything with forced induction being driven in such a way as to excite a wastegate flutter or a blow off valve sneeze. Anything naturally aspirated being taken into the upper octaves of its rev range. It’s the sounds which make my day more than the sights.

    I think you’ll find that Ducati enjoyed considerable success before the 851, look at Mike Hailwood’s TT win as an example. Or the 200 mile race at Imola (which was, at the time a world-class event). By my point remains, today sportsbike riders want something they can tie to racing and a 1200cc (therefore ineligible

    Is this using a “borrowed” Aprilia engine like the race bike?

    I think Mr DeMuro might be usighted by the barely restrained cooing that is to be expected on an auto enthusiast website whenever he posts about the Skyline. To the rest of the world it’s just an old, anonymous-looking car in an anonymous colour.

    Which was the sole premise of this article.

    If you’re comparing him to any of the hordes of sponsor-mentioning McRacers that populate MotoGP or Superbikes then I would agree, however amongst his road racing counterparts you will find dozens just like him.

    You might be right, or it could be another lamentable case of Jalopnik worshipping the most famous as opposed to the best. Witness the amount of Clarskon-based drivel that gets spouted ad nauseam.

    The best at what he does? Or maybe he’s the only road racer you’ve heard of in Americaland?

    The Czech importers for Rag & Bone were unavailable for comment.

    Those Tailgunner exhausts are so incredibly wrong that I find it very difficult to dislike them.

    Here’s why a couple of mates on a holiday will always have more fun than those on an organized press junket with a defined route.
