Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Monstrosities From The Hard Drive
/
Last week for British Week Truck Thursday this olelongrooffan posted about a Jagamino Jagchero (by popular opinion) and a fellow Hoon said in the comment section: “I’m afraid to know what other monstrosities are in your hard drive.” Well, my hard drive contains around 5,000 images of all things automotive so this may just become…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition – The Mark of Distinction; The 1965 Ford Zephyr and Zodiac Launch Video
/
Whenever I come across a cheesy video like this one, I just have to share it with the Hoons at Hooniverse. How many of you know of the MK 4 Zephyr and Zodiac from Ford? To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know they existed. But that doesn’t stop me from showing you this…

Welcome to the Sunday Edition of Hooniverse Weekends. I was cruising around the net when I discovered this tasty little video about the launching of the new Mk 1 Fiesta. We here at Hooniverse love the original Fiesta, and this is a great period piece, but you can only see this video after the jump…

Question of the Weekend – What is the best Tail Lamp Design?
/
I haven’t had a Question of the Weekend for some time now, and I thought it was time to bring it back. I was thinking a lot about rear lamps on cars recently, as I almost ran into a car without any lamp illumination recently. With this incident, my thought process centered all about tail…

We bid cheerio! to British Week with a public service announcement. Support the Irish economy (circa 1981): buy a Delorean, built in Belfast with pride!

Bristol 412, the Rich Man's Firebird
/
You know what’s cooler than owning a Bristol? Owning the entire company. – Justin Timberlake Ok, maybe JT didn’t actually say that.

Mystery Car Revealed – Now With More Video!
/
Many will play, few will win, and even fewer will attempt to resurrect a semi-obscure classic sports car brand. That last achievement was the goal of Raffi Minasian and Bill Miller back in 1979, and this was the result- the Pegaso Dual Turbo. Pegaso, as you will recall, was the truck and bus maker, founded…

Hooniverse Shooting Brake Friday: The Jensen GT [UPDATED]

How fondly I recall my youth in the country! The baying of the hounds as they chased the fox! The horsemen, resplendent in their hunting finery, bravely leaping creekbed and badgerhole in pursuit of their sly quarry.

Bristol: The Greatest Car Company You've Never Heard Of
/
Bristol has always had one showroom, a modest building on Kensington High Street. Away from the bustling shopping of the rest of Kensington, namely Harrod’s, where its owners presumably frequent, the showroom lacks the sleek veneer of any Audi or Rolls-Royce dealership. Filing cabinets line the rear walls underneath dusty office glass. The wood panels…
