Is that an old school JDM Skyline?

Some parts of Asia in general seems to be largely out of the whole "hitler was actually a really bad guy" and he/nazis seem to be viewed as edgy and cool as a quick google can quickly show.

It's a Toyota Corolla KE35 hard top coupe

What would piss off Ferrari more? Lambo badges on a ferrari or ferrari badges on a lambo? I feel like the first one would more so..... But maybe not.

I think Ferruccio Lamborghini would be pissed about a Ferrari badge on a Lamborghini, as story goes that Ferruccio was unimpressed with the build quality of his Ferrari road car and old Enzo told him to go and stick it.

Totally agree, seeing him and Thunderhead 289 trying to get old junk working again is great. Plus his girlfriend is very easy on the eyes

Finnegans Garage I find more miss than hit. Some of his videos can be so boring unless he has someone else to work off with.

His sponsor was a tube miller. So I'm straight out calling BS on that one esp when Chrome-Moly was available from Palmers. He also collected gum trees at 140kph which would challenge even today's cages. Cage theory and design was also..... kinda poo poo in 1983
Quote from DJ from Australian Muscle Car, issue 10:

"No not really. It was still just an alloy roll cage, which had to be bolted to the shell everywhere because it's pretty hard to weld aluminium to steel"

"I reckon if I had my time again and having seen the Steve Masterton car which had a welded chrome-moly (steel) cage in it, that would have been the better way to go"

The Pagani Zonda uses the climate control panel from the Rover 45. The Lambo Murcielago uses the climate control from the Rover 45 with remoulded buttons.

While I understand the Zonda, surely the Lambo would've been using VAG climate controls since it was under Audi's ownership by the time the Murcie was released

I give a mate of mine enough poo poo for buying a Raptor, they're about 80k, but I was having a chat with a guy walking his dog who parked in a Ram and he said it cost a hundred and sixty thousand dollars.

Low interest rates dude. If any of the banks raised their interest rates by .25% you'll see abandoned twin cab Utes littering the sides of roads like people do in with their supercars in the Middle East

Yeah, that was a real head scratcher from Mercedes, probably hoping to jump in with the relative success of the VW Amarok. However you could buy the same ute, with I guess better support and service, from Nissan at a far cheaper price.

UTE implies that the bed and the cabin are one ‘body’ no gap.

El Camino is a UTE. HiLux isn’t.

Subaru BRAT was a UTE.

Ute stands for Utility Coupe, therefore it was based off a regular passenger car, so in the words of the farmer who sent the request to Ford Australia: "a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays".

Therefore anything built as a pickup first and foremost, like a F150, Hilux or Silverado already cancel themselves out there.

As a Ford dealership employee I can confirm some pretty silly oil filter locations. Have any of you had to change the oil on the new ranger? Its behind the inner fender cover in the left front wheel well attached to the engine. It's hilariously bad and totally belongs in this thread. Not even going to mention the drain plug on F150 ecoboosts that dumps the engine oil right into the sway bar on its way out to the oil drain.

The oil filter location on my Ford Focus diesel requires you to remove the majority of the plastic air intake and throttle body to get at it if you don't have the "special tool".

Then again it is a PSA diesel so we can blame Peugeot for that one

There is absolutely no way I would buy, let alone drive, a Tesla. Lowest rung quality with tech that been given as much care as a Basic application made on a Commodore 64 by a kid.

That said the boot issue reminds me of the boot lid issue with the VT Commodore sedans. The issue was that during testing of the car it was always covered in that prototype cladding that manufacturers would put on pre-release cars to hide the shape of the car, and ignored the fact the way they designed the lid would channel water in a way that would soak the person opening the lid.
