Slandry002 commented on Alex Zanardi, 1966-2026

“Power to weight for the win! This must about triple the horsepower from stock. I really like the angled exhaust exit and the great choice of wheels. The MOMO wheel is the finishing touch on this extremely tidy build.
I’m already smiling just thinking about driving this street legal go-kart. Being behind the wheel of this would make my face hurt from happiness.
GLWTA.”

“I know that Singer, Gunther Works, and others have their devoted fan bases, but for me, nothing does it quite like a RUF, ever since teenaged-me read (and dreamed) about the Yellowbird in Road and Track in 1987.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“These cars are just great. I bought a 2024 manual on a whim last year and have zero regrets. They do it all so well. My fair weather daily drivers last summer were this Golf, a 2018 GT3 Touring, and my venerable 993. For regular use, the Golf is ~80% of the fun of the GT3 for 20% of the money. Sold the GT3 shortly thereafter just because I prefer the Golf. Will never sell the 993, though.”

SupremeDeluxe commented on 2024 Volkswagen Golf R

“My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. My first job out of college was working for TDM in Livonia MI which later became Wheel to Wheel a prototype shop for GM’s Jon Moss. We built a 383 6spd SS with a rollcage for GM Special Vehicles to do high speed testing at MIS. I don’t think this is that car but always wondered what happened to it and many others. Great first engineering job for a young gear head.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“The other 212 with which I am familiar is the Petersen’s 212/225 that was purchased so that HFII could evaluate it along with other two-seaters in preparation for developing their competitor for the Corvette, the Thunderbird. That one is even longer, built on the Europa 2+2 chassis, with the 210 hp three carb 225 (2,700 cc) engine. This is the only Barchetta I’ve seen that didn’t have the signature baseball glove-stitched leather padding on the cockpit surround. The first Ferrari to win…”

TheOMDude commented on Barchetta-Bodied 1952 Ferrari 212 Inter

“From all the trips I did in my classic cars (60s Jaguars, air-cooled 911s or classic Ferraris) the most memorable one was in a TVR to the Monaco Classic F1 Grand Prix in the early 2000s. Speeding on the German Autobahn, crossing the Swiss Alpes and driving the curvy canyon roads in the Provence down to the French Riviera in my dream car as a student, the TVR Griffith 500.
Parking in front of the Hotel de Paris next to the dozens of multi-million Ferraris and Lamborghinis it was my little TVR…”

“I remember these. I’m 74 now, but In 1965 or so I saw an ad somewhere and sent off for a flyer. Dad was going to buy a Ford Wagon and I thought, cool. I was maybe 14 at the time but they sent me a brochure. I also got a brochure for a Piper Apache but didn’t buy one of them either (I did get my pilots license though in the 80’s). We got the wagon but not the camper. Slept in the back of the wagon many times. It was a beast.”

“brake duct hoses, eyeball CAB’s, adjustable rear subframe and holes in floor and wheel well from a roll bar that has been removed. looks like this car spent some time being properly used on track….”

“I have a similar setup with a Rover 4.0. The all aluminum Rover is 35lbs lighter than the original 4 banger. I’m getting 26 mpg in mine.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“The seller has done a good job giving a brief history of Cisitalia. I have studied these cars for over 40 years and have four of them (Two 202 coupes and two D46s) and had a 202 Cabriolet so perhaps I can provide some clarification. Approximately 110 coupes were made and about 60 cabriolets. Pinin Farina (later changed to Pininfarina) made the first batch of coupes in 1947-48, but then ramped up on working for Ferrari, etc. so most of the remaining coupes were done by Stabilimente Farina and…”

Cisitalia_Guy commented on Ex–Mille Miglia Storica 1952 Cisitalia 202 SC Gran Sport Cabriolet by Stabilimenti Farina

“I am the farmer who owned this car for years and everything the seller says is true. It was never in any kind of wreck while I owned it. I drove it for about 100000 miles. It had about 22000 miles on it when I purchased it. I drove it like a 930 should be and never had any problems with it, other than I decided to have the engine rebuilt as stated. If you’ve never driven an older Porche over a hundred mph be sure to have both hands on the wheel and pay attention!! The buyer sent a person…”
