Miscellaneous Car News

Sadly that seems to be the case. In last weeks mini budget farce they broke yet another agreement they made with the industry. This will definitely result in job losses, reduced trading hours and reduction/axing of low/no margin services to the public.

 

Some odd inclusions and some odd exclusions IMO

The 100 sexiest cars of all time - BBC Top Gear Australia

 

About 1/4 of the cars pictured qualify for the actual title of Sexy,IMO.
If your looking for:expensive,wierd,bizarre..etc then this is for you.
How can you(I'm sure I'll get some flak about this,)not include the original Bambina,Bugeye Sprite,any number of 50's and 60's Italian's,a whole raft of Bugatti,reams of Delage and Delahaye..not including an original 3 wheel Morgan,Volvo P1800...strewth the list is endless.
Sorry this list is for new-age amateure's only

 

Number 11, Porsche Carrera GT.

It is a V10 not a V12

 

Do you wish Jeremy Clarkson was dead?

 

Bizarre and eclectic. Where's the 246? The 308? Daytona?

911 Speedster???

 

Not at all. I like the writings of JC very much.

As for others...............!

 

Yep....sexy,not what they've put up.
Cizeta plus all those other 'supercar' thingys,nup.

 

Morgan Aeromax??? Yecccchhhhhhh!!

Must be to appease Hammond!

 

Y 'all forget this is the Australian version of the list - nothing to do with Clarkson et al who a few years ago when they did the list very correctly put the original Fiat 500 at the top of the list and the video of reasoning behind it was classic!

 

New TG

Top Gear Season 20 Episode 6 (20x06) by vlss222 - Car Videos on StreetFire

 

Mark Webber was hilarious, btw.

 

Yes, a good advert for Australia.

 

I don't think he's a huge Seb fan.

Did you get that impression, Kev?

 

He drove well too.....seemed to know about the science of driving too.

 

That wasn't his mid-air Merc though. That was Peter Dumbreck.

 

In case you don't want to watch the whole thing, here's the Webber bit.

Which lead me to this.......

Which lead me to this....I guess it's an F70 of sorts, and in my mind, the best looking one of all those supercars so far, including the 288

Lol at Coultard saying he talked to Michael because no one else would!

 

that was a LOL...I wonder if it's true and if it was before or after their famous crash in the wet?

 

Saw it in flesh at the ferrari museum - striking, yes, but beautiful? Not in my opinion.

 

well, the 288 is considered beautiful by some, but the F40, F50 and Enzo aren't....just purposeful at best.

Apart from the 288, which is more girly looking, like all 308s and is probably more "beautiful", this new car is a definite alpha male and certainly looks the part.

Picking the word to describe its looks isn't so straight forward, so I'll use Scott's oft used description....'awesome'

 

Different cause, but same results - keep those cambelt changes up to date!
BBC Horizon (1981) - Gentlemen, lift your skirts. Williams F1 - Cosworth Tyrrell P34 - YouTube

 

DFV engines well known for broken valve springs, you have to turn the engine 1/2 turn every 2 weeks when you're not using it, to avoid metal fatigue on any one spring. No cam belts of course, the cams are gear driven.
