I mean, if you buy the 1007 with the auto you only have yourself to blame really.

Eh I mean it's not exactly something that you'd hang a poster of above your bed. But lots of people drive these, and Opel Agila, Citroen C1, VW Ups, Toyota Aygos... They're small cars that offer a ton of practicality for olds and city people And because they're small and light, they can also feel real zippy and be a bunch of fun You're just not gonna impress your mustached Boomer father in law At my work someone has a micro car with a bull bar. I have a photo but I don't wanna fix them and me Lord Stimperor fucked around with this message at 16:27 on May 12, 2019 |

Was at the Riverside Museum in Glasgow today and saw a unique little car: the Hillman Imp circa 1963 ish. Apparently this is one of the first ones off of the assembly line. Rear air-cooled engine, RWD, and super tiny. Unfortunately the glass case gave off a lot of glare.   E: apparently it’s water cooled, my bad. But, it is all aluminum, which is spiffy for the 60s. hattersmad fucked around with this message at 16:55 on May 12, 2019 |

It was slow as balls on a manual and worse on the auto. Some car mag at the time calculated that the sliding door system was about 200-250 kgs extra weight on its own. At least in italy, 1007 are more rare on the road(peugeot reliability notwitstanding) than detomasos or zondas, i honestly have seen more renault velsatis or avantime if we want to compare weird french cars spottings. I don't think there is any car mag review of the 1007 that was overwhelmingly positive, mostly neutral to bad, the best review i remember was pretty much "good for tiny parking lots, if you don't mind going slow". It was expensive as hell too, being the top of the range at the time, if i remember correctly it was sold in the same price range as a mini SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 17:25 on May 12, 2019 |

So probably not at all like the Daihatsu Cuore the regular car channel reviewed

The 720 had the pony start. Speaking of cool tractors we just picked up a IH MD. Starts on gasoline but once it’s going and warmed up switches to diesel and runs on that. Weird having a carb on one side and injection pump on the other side of the block.

The one that caught fire any time it had to go up a slight incline, had to be scuttled more often than it was taken out by enemy fire, and was only produced because Ferdinand Porsche had built a bunch chassis before they found out that the diesel electric engine was a big pile of dookie? E: and then they updated it to the Elephant, making it even heavier without upgrading its horrible powertrain?

Porche tiger/ferdinand/elephant caught fire more often then a tesla. But atleast you can open the doors on those tanks when the vehicle catches fire.

 Since it's tractor time, this used to push cars/do exhibitions at a track I went to as a kid. 1951 Ford 8N with a built 401ci, 450hp Ford engine, it was fast as hell.
