I like that they put modern tires on it too and not the ugly rear end period correct reproduction type tires. Looks so much better.

I love a 106 anyway, such fun little cars to boot about in but I never knew this was an interior option, god drat. https://twitter.com/deerfella/status/1417125019314970631?s=20

NitroSpazzz posted:Local Porsche shop Air Cooled Classics finished their Patina project and had it at cars and coffee this morning. Car had been sitting in a field for 40+ years. New floors, mechanicals and interior while leaving the paint alone. That's awesome but I think I'd like it even more if it didn't have a completely spotless interior. Feels weird.

I imagine the paint coming off like the shell of an M&M and the rusted-through frame just falling apart after removing the structural patina.

I lost my program literally 1 minute after turning up, so throw out a car type and I'll look in the morning and check against another program. Ah, sorry I was on vacation and missed this. Still enjoyed the helicopter ride though. The whole thing looked awesome but any time you can ride in a helicopter is a good time.

I really appreciate how they make the trucks look stock and proportional with such gigantic balloon tires. Matching fenders and a responsible lift height.

MetaJew posted:I've never seen THX 1138 but now I kinda wanna see it. It's worth the watch, even if it's kinda dry and slow paced. Especially to see where a lot of Lucas' later work was based off, there's a lot of ideas, visuals and audio that shows where Lucas began basing development of what eventually becomes Star Wars - he cant write a plot or dialogue to save his life but he really is a drat good technical filmmaker. Also American Graffiti is definitely one of the best films of the 1970's and there's plenty in there that is used to become Indiana Jones. His biggest problem as a film maker is that he eventually became too rich and powerful to be told no, thats a bad idea. His films that are genuinely good were all made under lots of money and studio pressure with a group of similarly talented people who were able to tell him to gently caress off when needed and also let him play with the technical side - when he stuck to the technical side poo poo like what would eventually become Pixar, THX, LucasArts, and ILM happened

It's really a sight to see. If I get it going I'll post some videos. I've done the brakes and the transaxle/engine mounts, but it's not starting for some reason, fuel isn't getting into the carb. I'm taking ideas on what to do with it other than swim it. Waffle House fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Jul 22, 2021 |

So it’s definitely *possible* but I’m not sure I could get a low enough center of gravity and enough steering angle on it due to the height of the hull. boxen posted:Take the JZ out of the 280z, put it in the Amphicar.

Hell loving yeah. I think about amphibious cars all the time, when I was a kid I had a ton of those 'how things work' books or books with cutaway diagrams of everything and I think they led me to believe that amphibious cars were much more of a thing than they are or ever were. But I really thought it was the future, like why wouldn't it be straight up better if cars could just also cut across a lake or something? Of course it'll catch on. I guess this was also when I thought flying cars would come next.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Kits are usually better built - often a lot better built - than the real thing TBH. And faster. And a lot more "exciting" to drive. And by exciting I mean more likely to send you off a cliff at warp 9 and thats even with much updated suspension, brakes and tyres. I saw one with a supercharged 427 that claimed 800hp with AP Brakes and Ohlins suspension with massive semi slicks and just a rolling work of art and my only thought was ".... where the hell could you possibly even think about driving that safely at close to full throttle?"

Couldn't get a pic as I was driving but i was one of these on my way home from Wales this morning -  MG X-Power SV, MG's crazy attempt at some kind of super car with a 4.6 V8 from a mustang shoehorned in. One of the options when new was a factory nitrous kit which allegedly took it somewhere near 1000BHP. AirRaid fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Jul 24, 2021 |

Was it Randy Pobst or Jeremy Clarkson that said the car was an unrefined brute? That they stuffed a V10 in there and didn't seem to put much thought in anything else than styling.
