Much as I love Tatra, I don’t think Lancia made cars that handled so badly that they killed lots of people.

There’ll be a 911 with 3 pedals. Porsche has perfected the art of selling tiny amounts of very particular car configurations with huge profit margins.

Ah yes, Renault knew what it was doing with that generation of Megane.

Topgear UK got 7.4 l/100 km (31 MPG US) average whilst driving the snot out of it. At that rate, even $8 for a US gallon of petrol is not a problem. Sorry.

Or, one better yet: Citroën C1 racing

It’s not even safety, equipment and emission standards, because we can import US cars into the EU no problem. There might be a little fiddling with tail light lenses and such involved, but there’s absolutely nothing stopping us - other than ruinous fuel economy and gargantuan size - from importing whatever in exactly…

I use to enjoy a bit of American-trolling, but this isn’t funny anymore.

Since then I’ve had an itch to drive the shittiest cars the furthest I can. I’m talking taking a Citroen 2CV on the Mongol Rally.

That’s the thing about 45. Think of a cartoon that sums up every negative stereotype about Americans.

Xenophobia. Helps the unelectable to power, and makes the unconscionable policy. Every single time.

I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but it is, very obviously, another Ledwinka design that got stolen by Porsche.

Third most famous. There’s this bloke who, after effing up the country beyond repair, rewarded himself with a $34.000,- shed

And ‘round about the same time, my mum got her license, and drove one of these:

Wait till you find out that it means something like ‘onwards darkly’.

It’s pretty simple: donk and er sound like how you’d read them in English, voort has the same vowel as ‘more’. So it’s kinda like ‘donk-er-voret’

True, but the real volume in US cars is in full size pickups like the F150, and those are vanishingly rare these days.

Being Czech, I would have expected her to race the awesome little Tatra T12 racers. Those won the under 1100 cc class in the Targa Florio in 1925.

In case 45 starts blabbering about how Europe should import more American cars, show him this.

1st gear: If those Japanese women succeed, I wonder whether that’ll be the end of the strange phenomenon of his n’ hers cars.

I love them.
