You’re right; I stand corrected.

Germany cannot extradite a German citizen to the U.S.

and they’ll be refilled within 20 minutes.

I never knew they even sold these in the States (they were known as the EXA in Australia, pronounced “ex-ah” just because), but I always remember thinking the Sportbak made a decent looking Fiero-esque personal sports car look absolutely hideous.

This should have been the strategy from the get-go.

We have a type, I guess. Ask any Aussie of a certain age what touring cars they most fondly remember and I reckon at least half of them will tell you the Group A era (late 70s-mid 80s) where flared fenders and massive fuel tanks hanging below the rear bumper were all the rage. We do like our curves.

I will die on the XA-XC Falcon Coupe hill, but I can’t disagree that the arse end was the ugliest bit.

Ah, the XB. Makes me miss my John Goss Special all the more now.

AUStoUSA.com has been kicking around for a few years now. I haven’t yet used their services, so I can’t vouch for whether they’re any good, but I plan to one long distant day when the need to revisit my youth comes calling.

He looked about as comfortable delivering that script as the Sinclair news anchors did at the weekend.

Yes, and you’ll notice I was self-aware enough to acknowledge that I did that.

Might be all the Falcons and Commodores I grew up with, which were considered plenty large enough for families of most sizes, but I’ve never understood Americans’ obsession with truck-like vehicles (if not on truck platforms, at least ones that sit up about as high).

Michael, thank you for what you wrote, and for the introspection that pieces like this allow me to have.

I’m surprised it took this long for this reference to surface.

That’s not really what I meant, although I can see how you might have inferred that. Yes, getting out of your car and trying to confront someone still in theirs isn’t a bright move, whether you’re a MENCS driver or a rookie at a local half-miler, whether on dirt or pavement, whether sprint cars, Cup cars or Bandoleros…

My sentiments exactly. It would take a pretty magnanimous (and very public) retraction of their past donations to hate groups before I’d even consider setting foot in a Chick-fil-A again. I know damn well they’re not going to lose any sleep/market share over not getting my business, but just as what they do with their…

Way to trigger my trypophobia with that last pic of Davis. Holy (no pun intended) moly...

I was 18 - the legal drinking age in Australia - when I stupidly decided to drive home, drunk, from a party at my then-girlfriend’s house. I attempted to back my Mk IV Cortina out of her carport (not a euphemism, although in my state of inebriation I probably couldn’t have managed that either) and in doing so, yanked…

NASCAR drivers (Stewart himself included, and perhaps most famously Robby Gordon) were well known for getting out of wrecked racecars to confront the driver who had wrecked them on the ensuing pace lap, but it wasn’t until after the Stewart-Ward incident that NASCAR banned the practice altogether. But those guys were…
