“The look on peoples faces when you smoke the tires on this grocery getter is worth the price of admission !!!
Extremely cool build.
Good luck.

“Nobody in Fort Stockton ever knew exactly where Harold and Eleanor Whitcomb were headed when they left, and after a while they stopped asking. It had become as dependable as church bells and the Dairy Twin closing at nine. Every Sunday, sometime after lunch, the old Mercury wagon would ease out of their driveway with a picnic basket tucked behind the front seat and Harold’s weathered county highway map folded neatly beside him. They never seemed to have a destination. Yet when they returned,…”

“Great road test; beautiful sound bathing the cabin as you work the gears…no weird clunks, just straight-up British Sports Car excellence. GLWA! Given the bids already, I won’t be seeing this in my Virginia garage any time soon, alas.”

“I drove a 2012 manual Fit for three years before I lost it in a flood trying to cross an underpass. They float extremely well by the way.
It was SO much fun to drive. It fit two bikes in the back with the seats up. Storage was best. I’ve not had a similar size car since that was as enjoyable. The Fiesta ST is a close second but the FIT had better (less) torque steer when burning the tires in the wet. It would get rubber past 2nd gear on moist roads.
Indestructible….unless you drive it…”

One of the best features of BaT.”

“John Oates was a very capable racer, campaigning a Tiga in SCCA S2000 among other cars.
During the Pontiac Fiero sponsored Big-Bam-Boom Tour, John tested a NASCAR Modified at Stafford Speedway, and Pontiac teamed him with Clay Young in the Dole Fiero for a couple of IMSA GTU races.
There was a crash at Brainerd or Road America (I forget which)… but not due to driver error. When Clay handed off the car to John he said something was rattling around in the transmission. Eventually the trans…”

“An incredible presentation here, under the radar in its day and virtually indestructible —
Make no mistake this is quite a find with the M130 straight-six one of my favorite engines. In this smaller W114 there’s plenty of power considering these were also utilized in the larger W108 series.
Notable recent service items ‘23 – ‘24 including:
– shifter linkage and kick down arm bushing, and solenoid
– front subframe mounts, engine mounts, and tie rods
– alternator belts, accelerator…”

“We currently have a 250 SWB in our care that was built in direct collaboration with the exceptional team at GTO Engineering. Prior to joining Mohr Imports, I had the privilege of running GTO Engineering’s Los Angeles operation for several years and visited both the GTO House and restoration facility on multiple occasions.
I can’t say enough positive things about the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion that goes into these cars. Having had the opportunity to work alongside both…”

“Such great trucks, went a decade with minimal styling updates. And the Vortec Chevy 454 is a LEGEND! And if it is really as clean as it appears, someone is going to get an awesome ride. Only thing it is missing from my ideal 3/4 Suburban build sheet would be barn doors in back, but the tailgate is what makes pregaming work too.”

“Great spot on the 2022 gearbox oil typo.
Our technicians during that time and during 2023 and 2021 records are all former trained factory Lamborghini guys. You can look them up!
As you can see both Motul and Lucas gear oil was used in 2021 and 2023, so I am very confident this is a “ShopWare” typo.
Our software system in the shop was very clunky until recently.
The former owner was very fussy, this is one of the best 1996-1997 Diablo Roadster examples we have seen. The car was…”

“One of my long-time car friends is a national champion level modeler. When my wife and I married his wedding gift to us was a custom-built diorama of a C-Type Jaguar at le Mans. Remains my second favorite gift from the wedding (my wife’s unending love is the most favorite).
There have been far too many years passed since I build a car or airplane model. I have quite a few unbuilt kits on the shelf, I need to either get building or move them along.”

“I almost bought one of these in silver blue 45+ years ago but my dog could not stand up in the back so I bought a used Audi Fox wagon (think VW Dasher) instead.
I’m excited to have this opportunity to own one now. I was impressed with the Sellers response and candid video talk. I’m unsure if I’ll meet the Seller but I want to thank you.

“Like others, hopefully you will take this to the Historics and let it eat! I spectate and enjoy getting to see the first car I ever drove on a road course – the #78 Boss 302 Matthews car that you would be running with if you go. The guy that restored it barely knew me and still let me run it in the Cobra Club novice group around 35 years ago now that I think about it! Changed my life – drag raced one more time after that before putting fat tires all around on my 70 Fastback 🙂 Guy that has…”

“In the mid 80’s I was driving my 1977 Porsche 930 home from O’Hara airport to Elgin, IL on I90 taking the Barrington Road offramp when I happened to look in my rear view mirror to find it completely filled with a Lambo Countach that appeared not have a driver. Then a thick arm came out the window pointing for me to turn right at Barrington Road. Then the Lambo passed me and turned right with the arm coming out again point left to turn on a country road. Seemed pretty evident what the driver…”

“My dad had one of these back in the day. The drivetrain was something else. We owned it to about 250k miles before selling it on the original clutch, transmission, turbo, head gasket, diffs, etc. It’d been chip tuned the whole time to almost 300hp for most of that.
Not that it was cheap or easy to keep the rest of the car in shape around that drivetrain….but still, this was Audi at its best.”
