I always loved those as well, @tony, upon seeing one for the first time at Goodwood, probably around 1998-1999. By far the best looking Morgan ever, in my opinion, and I love them.

But they were built as race […]

@tony, we don’t actually live THAT close, but in a particularly bright moment I suggested that three persons actually needed to share three cars, and then with certain intervals take the drive up to the next one […]

That could buy you a very nice S-Class, @dave.

But it sounds as though you should do just fine with something like an MR2 or a TR7…what a shame, really.

This article sort of made me miss my old SLC, @tony: I sold it last year to make way for the Interceptor. You are absolutely right that the model offers an incredible amount of car for the money – from the period […]

What a wonderfully honest and sober birthday speech, @dave. Any mother-in-law would be moved to tears if you put that much effort into their birthday speech.

I understand your ambivalence towards the Escort […]

You are right too, @niels-v. Maybe we should write the builders a letter?

I do too, but that’s because I am a sad car need looking for every straw of hope out of the Eighties car pool.

As I’ve always said, @dave Leadbetter: If you want to look slim, stand next to a fat guy.

Sure I am brave enough: It’s just that I don’t really like the car!

The colour is great but four seater cabriolets were never an easy task and on this one the proportions seem all out of shape. The coupé, though…

@niels-v , I find the Series 3 V12 Roadster does have a certain something: The wheelarches were filled better, but mostly it was the engine, as the huge V12 in the rather dinky E-type made it quite a performer. […]

Wow, what a rare Abarth, @christian vana!

I also love the new Alpine, which is indeed very fun and engaging to drive. Even though its – for modern times – light weight of 1,100 kilos is still 200 kilos more […]

@dave, I forgot to mention it, but her (rather small house) had its own forest with supply of wood for heating and cooking for many years as well as fields enough for growing vegetables and keeping animals to […]

Ahh, @niels v, great input: How could I forget about homegrown fuel like that?! Both possible to make in your back garden, it seems.

Although I would still think it wiser to use a more efficient vehicle, but […]

Absolutely brilliantly summed up and I laughed out loud at the rebuild gearbox / dog watching world-analogy. You know why.

I will gladly admit being no great spannerman myself and countless times I have fallen […]

Hmm, that is such a huge question. Both of them!

Should this really be the year of the Porsche? I’ve sort of put the idea of another neoclassic on hold and prefer the older stuff again.

But the bid drive […]
