The Octa …

I completely understand the fascination with Land Rover’s, I’ve had a few over the years and my fair share of problems with them. I won’t go on about the negatives as we could start a new thread about it ! I went to a private viewing and drive in the new

Nico, your list looks good

But I would leave the TT out of it. Yes, it can be fast, but being front wheel drive, I would disqualify it from being a small bomba, which must include a sense of... danger with mid-engine, short wheelbase and RWD! The people who bought a 4C have made a

They're not necessary in an Alpine...

On a lighter car like an Alpine, a wider tire would add significant mechanical grip, but when traction breaks, it'll be super violent. Considering the short wheelbase in an Alpine, I would opt for a more conservative tire package. However, on a heavier ca

Big topic full of small details…

I could write on this subject for pages but you'd die of boredom! In brief: Aside from the obvious visuals, the Z4's later suspension, especially at the rear, makes a big difference on the track and skid pad. Also the brakes (E46 M3 Competition parts alon

The fabulous 250 GT Short Wheelbase ...

Ferrari made one of the most beautiful and capable sports cars of its era when they launched the 250 GT SWB in 1959. Just 176 were built in steel and aluminium and used disk brakes for the first time on a Ferrari GT. To see one race is a treat for the eye

Based on these images, I'm a fan

It has many threads of past design about it. The Alfa TZ1 coupe is clearly this car's primary inspiration, but the modern Zagato also bears the hallmark of other cars build on the same basic Kamm-tail idea during the period; Ferrari 250 GT SWB "Breadvan"

Spotted: All but Red

Here are the cars we saw yesterday that could not be fitted into the category of Red(ish). I will start with one that pleased me and which I am proud to call the cleanest gardener's truck ever. In our area there are two kinds of landscape maintenance men:

Well ...

The AMG probably weighs over 2000 kilo and is stunningly fast ... the Mini weighs maximum 600 kilo (trackcar ..) and the power has gone up to 125 hp .. bear in mind the ultra short wheelbase and you get the picture

Congrats! The offers are just too ridiculous to pass up...

Hi, Mike, Hopefully you will find the Cinquecento e a nice contrast to your other soulful cars. I find that when I am behind the wheel, I tend to drive it completely differently than any other car I've ever driven, and even mentally I find myself in a com
