    S4 I have not noticed above, though it looks familiar. Maybe a rerun? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/593067882983971/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A79f90c80-58a7-4950-bf86-f5a01d21a1ef

    Never been there. Now I feel an itch...

    Pure envy. Nice looking car and I bet you haven't hit 95F yet this year.

    Absolutely, RHD is no big deal. If one is accustomed to the car and aims properly, at the center of the path, it is no problem. The first RHD car I ever drove was a GT40 and afterward, I realized, Oh shit, I didn't even notice the RHD. The only drawback I see in the US is making L hand turns. But now, there is always a BIG PU or SUV in the opposing lane, so in any small car you have to wait for a clear view. No sweat.

    I tried COM a few weeks ago and id DID redirect to the NET site.

    If these are original, magnesium, be very careful with them. I had an original explode once, sitting still, minimal psi, on a Formula Jr. For use, new ones would be better. They are available in mag or alum.

    I've always changed coolant once/year, if there is any aluminum vs iron in the system. I read somewhere that one can get a reaction, talking about an aluminum engine, but I would include an aluminum radiator and iron engine.

    Check that the fan is spinning the correct direction. Initially, mine was wired backwards. Reversed DC will make the fan motor turn the wrong way. As a couple said, burping can be critical. Look for bleed valves in the system.

    @vovchandr is wrong. The body is wide, but the cockpit is actually quite tight. Only attempted to get into one F1 (1993 Ferrari) but, alas, I am a bit over 140 pounds. On an aside, I did get to spend a couple days with a rally equipped Renault R5 Turbo and each time I got in, I think it took about 20 minutes before I was really bottomed in the seat. The pros tend to be small. Hulkenberg is about as big as they come (170 lb.), and it actually cost him some career opportunities.

    Lest we forget an oldie: Just substitute net for org and they have the web address.

    I believe the word you're looking for is "charming".

    Something a bit surprising under the bonnet. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3vYjPYwN/1992-westfield-se?utm_source=pd&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=n

    1. No, never was asked to. Personally, I think cars with the hood up (or bonnet off) don't look good. 3. Get as many kids as possible to sit in the driver's seat. It's their size and we need to get them addicted ASAP. Besides, if there is a People's Choice vote, you stuff the ballot box with their family's votes.

    What a Seven! And, what a wife!!!

    39?

    Yeah, it was more Hot Rod style, but well executed, barring the headlights. I would have changed that. Exported one to a client in Spain. Can't imagine what a stir it would cause there. He was quite satisfied. Certainly the most impractical US car in recent history. Good on them for doing it. And the Viper. I still think the Tomahawk was nuts, as a show bike. ps. Almost unfair to compare any bike to a Ducati.

    Dates? You ain't seen nothing. How did they get this registered? How did they even get it into the USA? Show only? Now road legal. Duty paid? I've brought in a lot of cars, but this is amazing to me. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2023-bac-mono-r/?utm_source=dm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2025-01-30

    Carroll did a lot of odd projects that never went anywhere. Frozen cattle embryos to send to under developed countries to improve their stock; Electric car with 4 hub mounted motors in 1980s. Smooth talker that he was, he seemed susceptible to other smooth talkers. A couple of the Shelby de Mex cars were pretty wild. Maybe he bought one kit just to see what engine he could fit in it.

    Gorgeous. Yeah, I always dug those Escorts. But, at the price of a Ferrari?

    Yeah, I also have a (2017) Taco Ma. I expect it will out live me. @Croc did bring up RIDE issues (G vagen). I am surprised Toyota still has not improved the ride. Not as bad as the earlier little ones "punishing ride" (Consumer Rpts.) but still not good.

    A low milage Toyota pickup. Pre Tacoma/Tundra. Think Hilux. R22 engine, manual of course. I had 3, new 1986, 80k 1975, 80k 1980. I did get rid of the 1980 in 2017, huge error. Only 37 years old and mechanicals showed no issues at all. Find any one with under 100k and you are set for life. Still regret getting the modern Tacoma in comparison.

    I have always found that as a passenger, I tell pretty much everything about a car (and the driver's skill) from the other side. Give a good ride and a buyer should be satisfied.

    How about a section to add computer files for parts others may want to 3D print? Would that be feasible or do different printers take different format files?

    Maybe a Birkin is just built better? I never had any problem switching windshield/Brooklands. At least with some one to hold the screen for a few minutes. Never had to use a drift or anything special.
