Are those rusty hardware store hinges for the rear lid? It does look neat, but I wonder what's under there and how mangled it was when they started.

What's the purpose of the small belt-driven compressor that appears to be exhausting into the crankcase on the Renault engine?

Problem is that the wagons that they do sell here are watered down versions of the better wagons they sell elsewhere. Audi gives us the Allroad with only a 2.0T and an automatic, while you can get it with a 3.0TDI in Europe. And don't get me started on the Audi S4 Avant. The list of examples like that is long.

I drive a Ford Transit for a living now, and it has ruined me. All car mirrors look tiny and useless now. Terrible Car Stuff: It's not even powered by an XJ220 engine.

In the film this device is what allows the ‘Il tempo gigante’ car to become all sorts of awesome. Seeing as Joachim is a big fan, he thought he’d add it to his Volvo. The superretometerfordeler is functional too, and forms part of air jack set up. http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/08/viper-v10-twin-turbo-powered-volvo-242/
