Where or when will the arms race ever end? Probably round about here.
Have you noticed? Many GTI-type cars today have 300 horsepower. Manufacturer after manufacturer present new cars with 500 horsepower. […]

Aaaah, yes, @anders-bilidt – a “club owner”. Momentarily I lost sight of this goal for my , erhm, the car’s look…thanks for reminding me :-)

I do agree on the yellow, though :-)

It’s very reassuring to know that when that perfect brown Seventies gem comes up for sale you gentlemen will not bid against me :-).
I still think you’re wrong but will not try to convince you.

Much, much better, @yrhmblhst, thank you :-)
Now @dave-leadbetter , I found a caravan for sale and it would suit the SLC just fine. But you’re saying I should NOT add a tow bar to the Mercedes?!?

I missed the party on gold alloys back then in the seventies and eighties when they were the hottest thing north of the Sahara. Finally, the time has come for my retribution.
Regular ViaRETRO readers will […]

@tony-wawryk , I fear you may have been overbrowned sometime
back in the Seventies? Here’s some antidote: -

Since when has a brown Allegro been uncool, @anders-bilidt and @tony-wawryk ?!?!
But I notice both of you focus on the car so I’ll just emphasize again that for me this is not just any nice 308 GT4 – it was […]

The Touring, oooh, the Touring!
It’s about nine years ago, @anders-bilidt , when you helped me find, acquire and drive back from Sweden my first non-British classic car, my white 1974 BMW 2002 Touring. Thereby […]

Thank you very much, @roberta-m-morris – the internet truly is an amazing place! One Danish car enthusiast writes “and as far as I know the Morris family still own it to this day.” and one member of the Morris […]

This Dino was gifted from Enzo Ferrari to Jacques Swaters, the Belgian racing driver of Ecurie Francorchamps fame. And it has survived in remarkably original condition.
As I managed to extract those two facts […]

I’m a big fan of coupés, youngtimers and Italian cars. And I like the Coupé Fiat. Sometimes. At other times, not so much. It’s marmite, and it has always divided opinion – mine too.
If my memory serves […]

Hybrids are nothing new. Nor are they necessarily boring – as clearly illustrated by this exotic city hybrid.
It’s Italian, chic, tiny and modern. Yet it is 35 years old – and not least: It’s a hybrid. In short: […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, Karmann Ghia with a Brasilian Booty: TC145 8 years, 1 month ago
@niels-v , what puzzles me the most is why the TC145 was deemed necessary or at least production-worthy in the first place.
Regarding its styling I still think it looks more like a dog doing its thing than a […]

The ordinary and well-known Karmann Ghia is widely acknowledged as one of the prettiest Volkswagen’s ever produced. Even so, this Brazilian variant underwent heavy cosmetic surgery both front a rear – but why […]

@tony-wawryk , rest assured :-). I actually have an overdrive ‘box lying around somewhere, but even that is not really planned at the moment. Just enjoying the chrome factor for this summer, I think. About time […]

25 years ago my first classic was a Triumph Spitfire and I loved it. Last week I was reminded why.
I sold that first Spitfire, of course – but only to buy a better one. The first was a 1968 Mk3, the second a 1969 […]
