Dude is returning this XE Falcon, one of my favourite models of Falcon ever, to running condition. The car was owned from new by his grandfather and will be bringing it back for his parents to cruise around in.

This guy's channel "I Do Cars" is one of my current favorites. He's got a bunch of fully-AI cars, and runs a parts shop. He does weekly engine teardowns of engines and has done everything from Honda 4 cylinders to Mercedes V12s to Viper motors. Super chill guy, good to watch.

I met Eric through fellow goon Toaster Pastry back when they were both in high school. They were both big into Neons back then. In those days I used run around junkyards pulling Honda ECU and TCU to sell on ebay, but it got to a point that I'd never find them anymore. Turns out it was Eric beating me to the punch. He turned that into a whole business. Really good guy, his brother Ryan is also very AI and they're both very involved in the STL car scene. They both also really like their Mazdas.

His channel has made me a believer in regular maintenance and oil changes. Not that I didn't , but in previous cars, I wasn't exactly timely... Seeing what happens when you don't change the oil in cruddy and gooey engines makes the decision much more obvious.

What's the story with Houston Crosta and the Bugatti insurance scam car? Last I heard, Tavarish was looking to buy that car and I lost interest due to chud. But it looks like this guy bought it and is attempting to get it working, but it looks like he's going at it in an absolute trainwreck fashion.

This was a strange watch. The dude is uh…not modest. I don’t know but it didn’t seem like he had any idea what he was doing or talking about mostly. Worth watching for the scene where he chats to someone about reconditioning the cats and the guy is really not into it :allears:

Would love to see someone like the M539 guy take on a Bugatti but doubt he ever would.

Want to see a vintage Ferrari 250 get completely trashed along with a Citroen DS? And driven down a flight of steps in Rome? And see a stuntman get hit by said Ferrari and nearly get killed? Well, here's the film for you - "Poliziotto Sprint" from 1977. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knyjh2h-x0c (just fast forward to the car bits)

And what happened to the Ferrari is in an article here: (need to translate to english) https://www.quotidianomotori.com/automobili/poliziotto-sprint-poliziottesco-ferrari/

Wow! The details on that car really make it. I like the louvers and door handles especially. I'm a big fan that he put an FE motor in it too.

Very interesting active alignment system Lambo developed:

Really cool how things that just massively improve handling pop up from time to time. Probably not practical for normal cars for the near future but maybe some nutjob like Wesley Kagan would cobble it together for one of his projects.

I've never really examined it but the video has made me think about it a little and it's just a beautifully clean design with lines that intersect with other panels in a really nice way. The lip inside the grille flows into the inner line of the headlights. The fact the bumper has an actual body coloured section and isn't some lovely black plastic crap. The way the rear panel intersects the rear lights...

The only things I dislike are the rubbish interior which seems more like a placeholder so pfff and how bare the rear of the car looks at the bottom but that could probably be fixed with a lil bit of 2 tone action like the front/side of the car which is wearing a splitter and razor thin skirts... Just paint the little diffuser thing black and it'd be grand tbh.

The 'because it looks cool' is just something very few people are doing these days, designer aren't allowed to have much fun.

Wish he would have hit DRS though, to see the change.
