I guess it depends how easy it is to get Simone's location from their number plate where you are.

Rick Hendrick had a black widebody 560SEC (or maybe 500) AMG on display at one of his dealerships. Unfortunately I have no pictures. It had a manual transmission and a fire extinguisher under the seat.


Why do people get so worried about their license plate showing on the internet? Do they cover it up when they drive to the grocery store as well? Because, you know, there's probably hundreds if not thousands of people who are gonna see your plate on any given day around town and some of them actually live near you and could just follow you home. But I guess the internet is scary.

Is there an actual way for a regular private individual to look up someone's address based on a license plate number? Unless it's a callsign plate as Raluek noted.

Probably depends on the state... Wisconsin will let (unless it changed within the last 2-3 years) private companies become subscribers of plate data. Used to come on Microfiche, but it's just been a CD distribution since at least 2008 and you'd get a new CD every six months I think.

A few things are undeniable: The fabrication is impressive, the attention to detail staggering. It is like that time you saw that gorgeous, six-foot-tall blonde in line at the grocery, heard her surprisingly deep voice, and then noticed she had an Adam's apple. You want to look away, but you can't. And whether or not you like the end product, you cannot help but admire the effort that produced it.

I'm trying to work out how that rear axle mounts to the car

VikingSkull posted:

That looks like a show queen but that style of T using an old rear like that usually uses a transverse leaf spring. That particular one? Probably no suspension at all, or it's inside the bodywork.

Slavvy posted:

Looking at the surrounding body panel, if it had inboard suspension there would be some sort of slot or similar to allow the axle to traverse up and down. I'm betting on it being a functionless show pony.

Slavvy posted:

Those are brake calipers off a bike, looks like a Yamaha R1/R6 or similar, and the discs appear to be for a Buell.

Top Gear likes Leif Tufvesson. Not only because he sounds like a Viking warrior, but also because he makes mad hot rods out of bits of old Volvo. Which is rather like making Samurai swords out of old ladles.

This is the Hot Rod Jakob, built by Tufvesson in the style of the first-ever series-produced Volvo, the 1927 OV4.

Although it's a completely new design rather than a restored model, the Jakob was constructed in exactly the same method as the original OV4, with raw aluminium panels hammered into shape by hand. Even the number of screws and the curvature of the bonnet are identical.

Tufvesson raided the Volvo old parts bin for the Jakob's components, too: the steering wheel and gear level gaiter come from a 1962 P1800, while the brake pedal is straight off a 140 Series. Even the paint job and interior leather are in the same style as the old OV4.

It's not all old-school, though. Under those classic panels lurks a carbon fibre chassis and Volvo's 2.5-litre T5 engine, which has been converted to run solely on ethanol.

So it's green and gorgeous. And Top Gear wants to drive it. Top Gear likes Leif Tufvesson. Enough to buy you a big box of doughnuts if you're reading, Leif.

Volvo Jakob Hot Rod by Caresto or just Hot Rod Jakob. This is Carestos way of combining the classical original Jakob from 1927 with modern technology and design into a Hot Rod of today. This car was built to salubrate Volvos 80 years anniversary, after documenting the original in detail, we had the "Hot Rod of the Year" and "Most Innovative Car" award in mind for the Hot Rod Jakob. The result � look at the pictures. The car attended the Elmia exhibition 2009 and today you can find the car at Volvos headquarters entrence. The Jakob Hot Rod has also been featured in many magazines since 2009.

I bet he couldve released this video before Top Gear had their go but chose not to and not be pummled by Clarkson at a party.
Wonder if it was the same one Clarkson drove actually.

Edit: Want to sit at the pub with the man from Mclaren. "Well, we DO make racing cars..."
