Name That Part – I Don't Know Either!
/
…but I can tell you where they came from. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been spending a bunch of time (and money) sprucing up the Country Sedan. It’s been mostly sitting for most of the last year, so a round of tune-up parts was in order. After a distributor cap and rotor, new plugs…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Race Track?
/
Whether it’s a big asphalt oval, a rally course that covers multiple nations, or a sinewy street course between historic beach-front properties, there are a lot of venerated race venues out there. Some bring little more than a smooth stretch of macadam, and are otherwise nondescript. Others, such as Indy, with its yard of bricks,…

Hemipanter Might Give the Basement Lambo a Run for its Money
/
When we first stumbled across the Hemipanter via Spinelli’s Save the Enzos, we thought “sweet, a hemi-powered Pantera”. How mistaken we were. First off, that Hemi’s been bumped out to (this is not a typo) 526c.i.. Secondly…crap. Every time I go to look over this guy’s website, I get sucked in for another five minutes…

Showdown: Vannin'
/
If there’s one trend that Hoons the world over mourn, it’s the penchant for extraordinarily hairy men to gut a shorty van and fill it full of shag carpet, teardrop windows, and sci-fi murals. Unlike that terrible swing dancing trend that nauseated the country for several years in the ‘90s, we think that shag vans…

2-Stroke Swedish Meatball: The SAAB 92H Camper
/
If you’ve ever felt a strange tingling when you saw a Saab 99 with a piggybacking Toppola camper shell, then this 92H Camper should cause your nucleus accumbens to explode from overstimulation.

"I hate Valentino Rossi:" a trip to the Ducati factory
/
Any petrolhead worth his salt will gladly inform you that Ducati is the two-wheeled equivalent to Ferrari—the two go hand-in-hand like Federico Fellini movies and pretentious film school dropouts. Both brands are steeped in racing history, exclusivity, and exalted performance. Both brands carry the air of exotic Latin passion that, rest assured, is still a…

$600 1965 T-Bird: LeMons or What?
/
The problem with searching for LeMons cars is that it’s too easy to come across potential daily drivers. For instance, we’ve got the 65 T-Bird sporting a 300ish HP 390ci, but with a blown transmission. The good news is, usable C6s are like $9, and rebuild kits go for half of that. 390s are easily…

Obscure, Poorly Built, and Slow, the Gilbern Invader Still Best Welsh Car Ever
/
OK, so Gilbern was the only Welsh marque ever, but even so, just look at it! The Mustang-meets-Longchamp lines, the gaping maw inhaling a gryphon, the howling Essex six-pot up front … it’s positively nwydwyllt, in the local vowel-challenged tongue.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Hooniverse Asks; Do You Believe GM Re-Payed Their Government Loans?
/
General Motors announced last week that they have fully repaid their government loan, plus interest, five years ahead of schedule. I’m not so sure if that statement is correct, because the old GM (The ones with the toxic asset like Hummer, Saturn, Pontiac, and Saab) received a great deal of money from the government, and…

It Lives…Again!

At Casa_de_Science, the beast so ridiculous fearsome other LeMons teams dare not speak its name is roused from its slumber. Sights and (garbled) sounds of this momentous occasion after the jump.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Russian Audi Buyer Finds a Surprise Inside Door Panel!

I ran this story over a year ago when I was still writing for Car Throttle. It serves as a reminder that what you buy on-line is not necessarily what’s presented.
