That Jaguar CX75 video, they're really getting 500hp out of a 1.6litre engine?! HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

He was very close to his dad and doesn't want to ever get rid of it, nor make any major changes. Just wants to improve upon what's already there.

You'd be mental to get rid of it whether it was his father's car or not. I love it.

We had a 59 Biarritz sell at my auction, unrestored, for $80,000. Restored they go for a quarter million. 59 Caddies are the end all, be all of Cadillacs.

Holy poo poo, I never knew they were that much. No wonder that guy parked a million miles from the other cars.

I went for a trip to the seaside (Cornwall) for a few days over the weekend. I saw absolutely nothing of interest on the roads down there at all, there were a million VW campers of varying vintages of which a good 60% were broken down by the side of the road with the engine bay open and owners sat staring teary-eyed in defeat while their girlfriends/wives sat in the things looking mightily pissed off.

Anyway I found this Mercedes 300 in the car park of a tiny little village on the coast about 100m from a couple of pirate ships in dock. It was in pretty good condition, obviously well loved.





I also saw this amazing hearse but failed to get a picture of it. :(

Am I the only one that thinks that gold Maserati doesn't actually look that bad? The colour combination works quite nicely...

I know there's at least one person here from my home town of Coventry, I'm sure they've seen the vile chrome vinyl DB7 that used to roll around the university at times. It wouldn't be that bad if it was a more modern one but it's like a 1997/98 with the original rims and it just looks stupid.

Not it, obviously as the sky is never blue in this city;

So, there's this guy in my apartment complex that owns something I'd place pretty firmly under Awkward and Ugly, but some of you may think it's great, I dunno. Behold the Majestic Orange Hearse:

THE LAST RIDE.





For what it's worth, the car's much funnier if the guy's behind the wheel. He's picture-perfect :emo: , thin unwashed grease-mop, perpetual smug yet tortured expression...the last of a dying breed of goth...in a bright tangerine hearse. I almost took a picture of him checking himself out in the side-view mirror, but it would have been real obvious and he would have seen me doing it, so I abstained.



This is a man who laughs at your slavery to the illusion of normalcy and the fleeting falsehood of life's brief embrace. He laughs at you, DEATH ITSELF laughs at you, and this Hobby Lobby gargoyle laughs at you...

Yeah that's mad mike's 4-rotor. With one turbo per two rotors. From another angle I found they appear to be about a 71 or 76mm compressor, so somewhere around 800-1000hp total depending on fuel, which is average for a top drift car these days. Daigo Saito's SC430 has well over 1000.



4 rotors but only 2 turbos? Pff, I thought he was 'Mad' Mike not 'mildly unhinged' Mike.

For some reason, I'm on the love it side and I absolutely hate how the C7 looks. Weird.

Thank Christ someone's admitting the Corvette ain't poo poo. That loving Crossfire inspired bonnet ain't doing much for the look. I much prefer the Viper but even that is just a basic redesign of the first one.

At least the Toyota is a bit left-field and ultra modern.

Hey, whatever happened to the guy whose boss gave him a replica Cobra? I remember the start being all "YOU WILL DIE" and people posting pictures of the trippy part of 2001 and then I don't know if he ever posted again.

Coventry Transport Museum?

That's where they live, yeah. I haven't been there in a few years which is a bit poo poo considering I pass it virtually every day. I love the gatherings of cars they get together outside in the summer, just wandering into town on a Saturday afternoon and seeing a whole load of Americana is pretty awesome. There was a gaggle of Corvettes at one point from Stingray up to virtually brand spanking new. Oh and this random ratrod...

I should really keep an eye on the events schedule and see what's gonna turn up.
