I think “Shenanigan” would be a most excellent name for it too.

You just know David is already calculating what he would have to dump off the truck to ensure it conforms.

One does not “cruise” in a Trabant. One “putters”. Trabants do not cruise anywhere.

To find that balance David, may I suggest a girlfriend. They are great fun indeed if you get the right one. I mean how hard can it be to find a real smoking bikini babe who loves wrenching, getting grease under her fingernails, roadtrips and mechanical frustration ?

Well, stop writing and get cracking. Times a wasting.

What an awesome story. I love anything to do with this aircraft. The other cool story that I know of was when the pilots had to bail out at mach 3.18 at 78,800 ft, or as the surviving pilot Bill Weavers said, the aircraft disintegrated around us and we sort of fell out.

But do NOT go to the dealer with the car you just bought. Borrow a friend’s car.

Probably not a sticker. Probably painted on. LMAO

I would not buy it whether I liked it or not because the owner sounds like a douchbag. I only buy from people I like and can deal with easily and with no BS. This cat sounds like a lying dog faced pony soldier. “I’ve got a firm offer for 35 but I’ll sell to you for 22". Fuckwit Inc.

I think I love Kate !

Geely dosen’t deserve shit. They produce crappy copies of other’s hard work and they steal intellectual property. Let them sell this crap in China. They make poor imitations of real cars.

As someone who has lived in Brazil for nearly 30 years, I’ll tell you why they are not exported to other countries and why nobody else is importing them from Brazil. The simple answer is that THEY ARE CRAP.

eBussy !?!?! Nope ! I’m going with Bussy McBusface.

I’ve loved MGBs all my life but I love the MGBGT even more. More attractive lines, no water in the cabin and a more rigid body so no “door drop”, together with that lively little 3500V8 and it’s perfect car.

It just looks graceless and shapeless to me. Compare it with the EH below, which IMHO was the best car Holden produced from that era. I mean just look how the EH sits. It’s clean and lean. Balanced. A work of art.

The truth is that they were not influencing Australian design very much back then so that is what makes this comparison interesting. They mostly left us alone because our cars were designed specifically for our tough Australian environment back then.

This photo above explains why I have never liked our Australian 1965 Holden HD. It was an ugly POS IMHO. Looks like GM was influencing Holden quite a bit even back then.

These things were so cheap in London on the early 90s that I had a friend who loved them and used to buy them and just drive them until they stopped, after which he would remove the rego plates where it broke down and just walk away and leave it.

I absolutely love the idea but CP for the price. You could do your own much cheaper. And I don’t agree about how tidy it is. It look like bloody rat’s nest.

While I love the vehicle and the price, one look at that engine bay stopped me cold. When you see rusty bolts and hose brackets and other fittings at the top of the engine, that is the biggest red light you can get. That baitch has been under water up to the hood. No way Jose or Hose B.
