An old car …
By: bimbeano : April 13th, 2022-20:42
An 80ies 911 …. A true icon. It doesn’t matter if it’s a coupé, convertible, targa or in this cas the rare Speedster. Actually it’s the only car a man could wish for. But times are changing (BS) 😄 … . In order to save our planet, our dear politicians have...
Yes A110

One day ;-) … or maybe the Caterham 😆
LoL :)

I was never a 911 guy (chuck it off to my mid 80s birth date), but I will say that the vintage 911 Speedster is far more appealing to me than the hyper-polished (pun intended) brand-new Taycan Turbo S .... Enjoy your ICE manual while it's still a viable o...
I’ve never been a 911 guy either.

But i do love the looks and the way it drives. That Clio and my 1988 Peugeot 205 will only go over my dead body.
Hahaha xD

Ditto for whenever I manage to get my manual, naturally aspirated Aston . Cheers, Filip
Vantage V8

I had a few drives in a automativ Vantage V8 …. What a car …. And the manual should be excellent i heard.
Indeed :D

Obviously, it will depend on what's available in the marketplace at the time of my purchase, but a manual would be my strong preference . Cheers, Filip
100% true

The 'plastic' canopy instead go the convertible canvas really gives it some hips
There's a bigger problem...

My current car is around 2000 kg. Slightly less actually. In USA, I kid you not, there are soon going to be 5000 KG electric cars (pick-up-truck/SUV shaped cars) on the road! The new Hummer Electric car is nearly 5000 KG when loaded with cargo and passeng...
Hmmmm ...
By: bimbeano : April 15th, 2022-21:32
Trucks also weigh a lot over 5000 kilos, off course if your car gets run over by one you're are gone ... but unfortunately those 5000 kg pick-ups will be driven at far higher speeds and some less careful people as well. We haven't seen the end of the madn...
I am seeing this more and more over here too !
By: bimbeano : April 16th, 2022-21:45
And we still have too many Eastern European truck drivers on our roads ... last Friday I unfortunately saw ... 'the white blanket' again :-( .... lying over a deceased one. The traffic jam that followed took me 1,5 hours to cover 5 miles and you wouldn't ...
Good thing you're not on a motorcycle as often as before!
By: patrick_y : April 17th, 2022-06:56
Much higher risk of injury on a motorcycle! But seriously, car companies should be more cautious... To make a 11,000 pound or 5000kg vehicle on the road, for a "basic license" driver is just irresponsible. I understand batteries are heavy. But to make a h...
I've never seen a speedster I don't love.

My dealership had a 991 speedster that I was contemplating on getting. Was out of town for the weekend and it sold in a flash. Even at the $100k over list price. Great cars!
