Meanwhile, in Australia...



Turbo L300 4x4 - $2500


I unironically love this body style of van and have been on the lookout for one for a long time, but I assume all the custom work the guy's done will impact reliability, and I don't have the space or know-how to give it the attention it'll probably need (certainly don't have room for the second body/spares). But seems like a stonkin' deal for someone.

Hmm, Tasmania. If it was mainland I'd give it a little bit of thought. My dad used to turbocharge those 4WD vans in the early to mid 80s and remember going to ski fields in those.

The only convertible made by an American luxury car company in the last 20 years is the XLR

The only company that currently makes anything close to a full size convertible is Rolls Royce.

Why do car companies hate fun.

Because the buying public prefer SUVs

how could you not love a 2000lb RWD hatch?

Imagine what a modern engine and suspension with a stripped out interior would produce.



The Australian version of the T Car, the Gemini, is a huge candidate for engines out of Rodeo Utes and V8s.

There used to be a ton of them on the roads during the 90s, but they're pretty much either dead from rust or being beaten to death by new drivers, as they were a popular first car.

V12 or not, the front end of that Lincoln is awful. I'm sorry, but it just is. It looks like a cartoon caricature of a car.

It's not as awful as your title has become

The V12s I think are bullet proof on it. The electrics and English build quality for the interior might put people off. At least most of the window switches/HVAC can be taken from a Volvo or Ford
