The problem isn't the people who are taking what he said at face value and disagreeing with him, but rather the people who think he was being serious and agreeing with him...

Huh. Clarkson looks rather young to have sired Max Mosley, but there you have it.

You would have to have a REALLY serious thing for Capris not to call this CP. If you like relatively exotic European Fords, you could bring over a Cossie Escort or Sierra for a fraction of the price of this Capri, and both are far superior cars. If the rarity of the Tickford model is the draw, then I suppose you…

Pete Robinson's cam gear drive for the Ford 427 SOHC.

Yes!!! (although I prefer it au naturel)

I smile every time I see one of these!

First thing that came to mind when I saw this QOTD!

Yeah, I miss AMC. I always liked the scrappiness of the brand and their willingness to take chances. And as a car-crazy kid growing up in Detroit, I always liked to look for car-related buildings while my parents were driving places. The one I probably saw the most was the American Center (AMC's last headquarters)…

Nothing to feel guilty about there!

It's one of my guilty pleasures, too, although my memories of it are not as fond as yours. Back when I was in high school, I remember driving a friend's '84 Fiero, 4-speed with the Iron Duke. Truth be told, it was a pretty crappy car: short on power, a wretched shifter, and "handling" that made me wonder if the car…

By my admittedly seat-of-my-pants analysis of the responses to this QOTW, I think the Fiero has got to be the most frequently cited guilty pleasure of the commentariat. I don't know if it is because it was such an un-GM thing to build or because, on paper, it seemed to have so much promise (that the production car…

I felt the same way about my '97 LS. There is quality everywhere you look and there is something satisfying about that. The leather is lovely, the wood is tasteful, the paint is flawless, the panel gaps are tiny and dead straight. The engine is as smooth as glass but sings a beautiful tune when it's flogged. The…

Nice choice!

They're like an awkward bastard child of an AMC Marlin and an Alfa GTV6. Ugly as sin, but I still like 'em.

I was in love with Grand Wagoneers until I discovered the Travelall. And yes, the fake wood is a must.

Amen, brother!

As the one-time owner of an '87 Quantum Syncro Wagon, the Quantum coupe was, at that time, my unicorn. They are ridiculously rare here in the States, so much so that I have never seen one in the flesh, but I swear if I had found one at that time, I was fully prepared to pillage my QSW for the driveline and a 5000…

It's pretty much a Formula 1 car for the road.
