I don't know who the fuck he is, because I'm English, but he has the most generic 'sports type person' face I've ever seen. If that's a thing.

This and the Red Pig would be quite the pair. But... WHY ARE THERE NO ENGINE SHOTS?! Goddammit.

Indeed. 'compensating? In my tiny, hilariously unreliable car? whatever you say...'

Pretty sure you can only build your own Lambo, dude.

Come to Merrie Olde Englandland. 3.5k will get you a Midget or a Spit that looks brand-new. That's where my car fund is aiming for.

One could argue, however, that wrenching on your own vehicle, and the experience (not to mention pride) that comes from keeping said hooptie on the road, is a worthwhile experience and education in and of itself. You will learn self-reliance, problem-solving and meet cool, friendly and useful people (you may also get…

Well, quite.

Well, of course we did.

That just wasn't how inventors did shit back then. I come from Newcastle, home of, among other things, railways, the electric light (that's right, fuck you, Edison. Swan represent!), steam turbine engines and the windscreen wiper. Which was invented by a crazy Geordie bastard who drove all the way back from London…

There is NO. SUCH. THING.

As the plate is obscured, we have no proof this is your car. As supporting evidence, neither is it wearing the ground as a hat. Nice try, Orlove. Nice try...

It's actually $1024, like Guineas being more than pounds, but more digital.

I'm not sure, I think I just got pthalate poisoning from that pic. And quite possibly toothache.

They were too busy laughing at the 80s.

The daft bugger who drives round at highway speeds with huge flags hanging off the back of his inherently unstable vehicle on the open road, you mean?

Parade, okay, if you like that kind of thing, but that's a hazard to other road users IMO. You'd get nicked quick-sharp for pootling around with a Union Jack & a St George flag hanging off the back of your Triumph (yes, I know that's a Hardly-Driveable, I am specifying a bike that matches the flags, ok?) on the open…

Jesus fuck, but that is a useful .GIF. It has been saved for future use. Thank you.

Yup, absolutely. The Black & White Minstrel Show was still a staple on prime time TV a few years earlier in my childhood here in the UK in the 70s. It's not like it was even long ago that this shit was considered ok, and I can't see a problem with pointing out that it's fucking well not ok in our kid's lessons.

Even by the Gawker empire's standards, the jerks you get trolling here are a breed apart. Fucker needs a good clip round the ear off his mammy.
