would you buy a used car from this guy?

This reminds me of a similar case a few years ago - with Ferrari and McLaren? Ferrari would have been foolish to hire this guy - can you say $100 million fine?

Looks like Hoyle screwed himself - and I’d be surprised if any top team would hire him now.

It isn’t too accurate 0 early Series 1 seats with later dash switches instead of the period-correct toggle switches. And if he will only ship to the UK why is it LHD?

Believe it or not there was a 4 door Porsche 911 in 1968 - a weird (to me) custom 1-off by Troutman and Barnes

Target Demographic: People with more money than sense?

Story I heard is that Daimler offered them their AdBlue technology but VW didn’t want to pay the royalty. They didn’t have to fail or lie-

Nice write up. I remember Bill Cosby actually made a comedy routine of that original Super Snake. If the “regular” 427 Cobra killed the unwary I can imagine what that monster would do.

I remember R & T’s test of the Mustang and they felt that the chassis wasn’t quite as developed as it should be to handle that massive…

At a club rally, I was talking with someone about how silly the Mercedes G-Wagon is over here in the states. It was designed to be a utilitarian, rubber mats and vinyl seats, diesel go-anywhere vehicle. Over here it is all tarted up and there is even an AMG version, which I was told outsells the “standard” G Wagon…

Sure doesn’t sound like a Chevy V6! And with 300+ hp what’s not to like?

Some years ago I was given a red-carpet tour of the Academy of the California Highway Patrol. Many times the CHP is considered the leader in what they get or train; many police agencies around the country (even the world) look to them as to what to procure. A number of things we consider standard police issue started…

I wanted to see some afterburner, gut-ripping, hair-on-fire acceleration too

Automatic seat belts - I give you an earlier Jalopnik post. Kinda hard to defend those things.

It certainly won’t be the same and it couldn’t be the same. I have thought that the old shows success wasn’t due necessarily only to Clarkson but the interaction between the 3 - they had, as the old saying goes, “lightning in a bottle”.

Regardless I think Maj Boyington would have been proud to have had Foote in his squadron

I’ve heard Briggs and Stratton has the pole position.

Never traced any back but often wondered what happened to the 1967 Camaro I sold in 1972 for....$1,000.

Had to have been the car’s fault - certainly not the driver ;-)

IIRC GM invented the cat converter so it wasn’t in their interest to then prove another technology was better.

It is the getting to some of the nuts and bolts that make some cars challenging

I think that was a problem with some 70s GM cars

“The identical badge-engineed Buick Skyhawk, Chevy Monza, Pontiac Sunbird, and Olds Starfire of the ‘75-’80 model years were equipped with a 3.8 liter V-6 that was very large for the size of the engine compartment on these small cars. The result was that, in order to…
