There was a hill climb event happening at Bathurst on Sunday, and one of the track marshalls had their car parked near one of the barriers: It looks like a fairly standard looking Triumph Dolomite Sprint, right?  Well this one has a Leyland P76 4.4lt V8 in it (with Rover valve covers). The owner drives this car a lot, even on dirt tracks. He started it up and gave it the beans and it sounded great

It was a very silly car and effortlessly cool.

Humphreys posted:The Mazda/Ford love affair existed far beyond the TX3/Familia and others. They're no Cossie, but the Lantis/323F was a neat little car, esp in Type-R form with the 170ps 2.0L KF-ZE V6. Or if you wanna get spicy, the 2.5L KL-ZE from a JDM MX-6 can be had with 200hp, or if you really wanna ball out, there's the 2.3L supercharged Miller cycle KJ-ZEM with 217hp. Weirdly, though it's a "323", it's not built on the B-platform, it's built on the C-platform so makes it closer to a 626, early Madza 5, Eunos 500 etc. Frameless doors, and Mazda at the time even called it a 4 door coupe, long before the Germans got in the game with say the Merc CLS, BMW GranCoupe etc. That Mazdaspeed wing is super rare, even in replica form, hell I bet it's rarer than the Cossie!

Huh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGAZkn11hcw So, jingoist bad-boy posing aside, not only an e-Charger, but a coupe e-Charger. A hatchback coupe e-Charger. AND a sedan. AND a twin-turbo straight-6 as the ICE option. I saw that the Hemi was dead in the trucks, I didn't expect to see it in the Charger. More Hurricane 6's for interesting swaps later, right? Still not sold on the electronic noise system, but eh, as long as it can be turned off, why not.

Really nice rig, though. I sincerely did not notice that it was RD until you said something. I'm sure I eventually would have caught it, but first blush not so much, especially given some of the stunts they actually do pull with those things now.

Those Lada Nivas own bones. Speaking of, the new Rivian R3X give me strong Niva vibes, as well as Lancia Delta and I'm now thinking about putting a deposit on one when able.

what a great idea. kind of surprised they don't offer an even further reduced kit, where it's all just the flat lasercut parts but you do the final welding yourself. to save everyone a click, the DIY price is around $50k + donor (28k for the chassis, plus everything else). that's pretty reasonable.
