fingerling posted:Today I actually managed to get up to my brother in law's place. He has a long-standing relationship with his car(s). His baby is a 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 Compact. He bought it around 20 years ago, immediately did a bare metal respray, then moved to Adelaide. It's something of a long running joke (other than the "things being older than me: his ug boots, ownership of the Fairlanes") that he may actually grow up once it's 'finished'.. but we'll see if he ever gets there. That is a pretty amazing collection. My girlfriend has a '64 EH named Doug. Yup, imagine how emasculated I must feel! He's pretty cool but I can't help but hope that Holden goes the same way as Ford in Aus and then he might actually be worth a bit of cash. In the mean time he trundles around, hates wet weather (wants to spin those tyres and slide around), hates hot weather (overheating) and generally provides a great example of why Australian engineering is the envy of the developed world.... or somthing

Forgive my ignorance, I don't even know what sort of car this is let alone the engine. Is there any benefit to the expansion of the exhaust pipes before the eventual contraction or am I missing something?

fyodor posted:Today I passed an ordinary looking sedan on the freeway and the next thing I know the dude is whipping past me in a rumble of V8 fury. I squint at the unfamiliar yet familiar logo and realize: it's a brand new Holden Commodore SS. On a southern California freeway. For several more miles this guy would drop back and then do a ridiculous pull up to 120 and repeat. It was only the other day I was wondering, given the demise of Holden and Ford locally, would we see an AUDM  thing happen

New Petrolicious is up with a Delta S4 http://petrolicious.com/this-lancia-delta-s4-is-a-ballet-of-brutality The guy seems awesome and I love his attitude of showing his cars and driving them. But why run a tarmac spec car with slicks and no ground clearance on those gravel roads?  I forgive him completely because HOLY poo poo HAVE YOU SEEN HIS COLLECTION! He even has an 037!

neckbeard posted:FYI - if you do rent a car in New Zealand, make sure you get the Corolla like Clarkson did. I was there in March and rented a Yaris - going through the mountains on the south island those things sure as poo poo aren't the fastest cars in the world. So much this. I have to tell everyone who visits the motherland this. One of the scariest things I've ever done was drive my 81 Corolla wagon down the steep side of the Crown Range. With 4 people and a months worth of gear on board the brakes were... inadequate. Being the old 4 speed manual, 2nd was too short to engine brake without over-revving and 3rd was too long so you picked up way too much speed. Got to the bottom and the brakes were so cooked I couldn't stop at the intersection with the main road. Seeing as this is Post awesome AI car poo poo and not Share your dumb story, have Mad Mike drifting up said road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il986P_ooEE slothrop fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Jul 16, 2016 |

Hopefully this alleged CSIRO breakthrough in the production of carbon fibre goes some way to bringing the price down. Next time I buy a second hand Corolla I want it to weigh 900kg and be 80% cf. https://www.csiro.au/en/News/News-releases/2017/Carbon-fibre-makes-Australian-debut
