I dunno, based on the color choices it could easily be one of UF's cars.

Falken posted:Saw this in the Algarve, Portugal. Stood out to me because I dont see old landcruisers in Scotland, and most other older vehicles in this country either have blown clearcoats, bashed to gently caress or both. The oddest thing about this to me is the text in Swedish on the car. Apparently some Swedish realtor i Portugal. Nice Landcruiser though!

My mother is a huge petrolhead, and decided to drag me along to Big Boys Toys this year. I'll be sure to try and grab photos of anything I see that's suitably AI.

So do I, it was amazingly good, kinda subversive and appealed to multiple age groups without ever talking down to any of them. Part of wishes there were more seasons coming, but I have to applaud Alex Hirsch for having a clear ending in mind when he started it, instead of dragging it out forever with a never-ending cavalcade of crap filler episodes. It was a summer vacation, and summer vacations have to end sometime. Soos is my spirit animal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiuRv8RgaFk "Fix it! Do it! Accidentally unscrew it!"

I've never seen that...! I'm sad it's gone but yeah I'm glad it went when it was still great. I feel like Bill Cypher could easily have his own weird little spin off show though. "I make my own economy" The car in that video is also superb, a lot like this.

mekilljoydammit posted:Yeah, but it's an ex-race car. The people in the F40 market are looking for something they can drive on the street that doesn't have pragmatically hacked together stuff on it, while most vintage racers would say that, well, it never won anything and there's not really anywhere to race it so who cares? It's an F40 - there's any number of rich idiots who would want one.... And there's a lot of those people who dont drive their rare car collections. It doesnt matter it's race history - its the kind of collectors vehicle that makes any cost of restoration worth it. There's been a number of F40's rebuilt from worse. Hell, some guy in Aust threw one into trees at Targa Tasmania @ beyond 200kph and it was rebuilt by Ferrari. You basically have to burn it to the ground to not be able to be restored and make your money back. So yes, there's enough rich idiots who will care and they also wont care it's history. Edit : Wooooow..... I shouldnt have been surprised but the F40 chassis is seriously agricultural. Thought it would be a lot more exotic and better engineered. Really strongly reminds me of a Stratos - one serious sexay until you look at the ugly box section the chassis hangs off CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 12:25 on Oct 21, 2016 |

Both the F40 and Stratos are pretty on the outside though so it could be made from twigs and moss for all I care! I think it's great that some cars are so rare and exotic that they can't actually be written off, it means they'll live forever despite being made of new bits or otherwise.

The only gotcha is that you'd lose originality, and racing cars don't really have any such thing as "originality", they get whatever the best thing at the time they need X is. They have history and provenance, but pretty much anything you do adds to that rather than detracting for it. You duck-taped some poo poo back together to get back out on the track? That's what you're supposed to do. Fix it properly afterwards or leave it, both are "right". CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Edit : Wooooow.....

Ferrari chassis are pretty funny. I remember seeing a wrecked 550 once - "so wait, this is basically a production kit car with a glorified ladder frame?"

Biden's stories are my favorite on The Onion. Biden tossed out of car passing by White House Also, have a nice interview Biden did with Car & Driver: http://www.caranddriver.com/features/what-id-do-differently-vice-president-joe-biden-interview Choice quotes: quote:C/D: Any cars recently zing you? quote:C/D: Sadly, we must ask about the Onion story. While shirtless, have you ever washed a 1981 Pontiac Trans Am in your driveway? TotalLossBrain fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Oct 21, 2016 |

The thing that gets me is how nervous the secret service is about former presidents/vice presidents driving anything. There was a segment earlier this year of someone (I thought it was Leno but I can't find it now) touring the secret service's training facility where they talk about it.. once you win that election, you basically never get to drive ever again. i certainly understand why, a highly trained guard is way less likely to slide into a ditch and if a gunfight breaks out you don't want to fuss around with switching seats, but man, I'd hate having someone grump at me every time I wanted to go for a cruise.
