https://twitter.com/Honda_History/status/1219970314546757632?s=20 I need this. It's perfection. Also here is a significantly tweaked Today at Tsukuba Circuit (it's all in Japanese but you can grasp that it has been severely worked over) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDFHzknub_A Note that the lap time it's capable of puts it faster at Tsukuba than an R8 4.2 FSI Quattro, Benz AMG GT, Ferrari F40, Nismo 400R, a 997 911 Turbo... It's loving QUICK. Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Jan 22, 2020 |

This is Russian, not chinese but I still love the trucks.  InitialDave posted:Hell, at least the Chinese car looked like what it was meant to be aping. Hope the Mini guys are taking notes. Agreed - it'd be a lot cooler to see the current mini engine/chassis/etc with something that looked like a mini body.

Your link doesn't work so I don't know if you were talking about that specific version though: quote:Another special edition appeared in February 1987; the Today M-based Pochette received special colors and was aimed at female buyers. The Pochette became a regular model by 1990 and remained available into the second generation.

Not sure if this body style came with the MTREC engine, the same one found in Honda Beats, just de-tuned for more low end torque. But that is a thing.

TBH they're getting suspiciously close to completing Binky. I wonder if they won't decide to switch to an electric drivetrain what with the global warming stuff. The Escargot though, yeah they'll have to turn that into a barge. Ignoring the text for a moment, this would be a pretty awesome skill to have for engine swaps:

The project Binky guys recently sent a thing out to their Patreon, with their plans for the next few months. Apparently they're hoping for episode 29 in early February, 30 and 31 in late February/early March. 30 and 31 will both feature "a little freshen up" of the 3SGTE. Binky could very well be moving under its own power THIS DECADE.

Ah the link was to a Honda History account that reposts stuff (and had that exact image). I've always loved the tinier cars from Japan but the Today is just adorable and looks incredible in that colour...

1) That car and style is one of my options for the Gambler, one day. 2) I'm cutting vinyl for a coworker to use as stencils for a camo job on his rifle, and I threatened to hide dicks in there somewhere. I love how the Internet anticipates me every time. edit: and yes, I just sent that picture to him.

I'm surprised you don't see more BMW Minis done liek that with old Range Rovers or Discoveries, they're pretty much identical wheelbase.

Looks like a Suzuki Samurai frame, and you can probably find cheap non running Minis anywhere they are sold, so that actually looks like a cool relatively cheap conversion.

I feel like the travel trailer portion isn't up to the terrain and conditions that the base truck is capable of. But, would, until the camper gets ripped from the back of the truck.

HEMMT's are really bad at anything but taking super-heavy trailers across ridiculous terrain. The gearing, the engines, and the hookups are just straight garbage for 98% of everyday use.

Unimog maybe? We have one of those SHERP off road vehicles at another one of our mine sites, and it is definitely Other Thread material. Bogged multiple times on the salt lake, then it broke something in the transmission, and parts are only available from Russia when they feel like sending them. We'll keep buying Teryx side-by-sides for a tenth the price.
