    Yep! A Laforza. Slightly anemic Ford 5 liter V8, Italian designed leather interior, strange amateur repair job on hood, Ferrari badging, basically it was a conundrum. Amazingly it was still on the road and didn’t sound overly obnoxious when I cruised by.  For those of you that have no idea what this is, make the…

    At the height of its power, the House of Hapsburg controlled almost all of modern-day Europe. Their bounds stretched from the early emperors of the Holy Roman Empire to 20th-century Austria, an 800-year reign stretching from Spain to Bohemia, Hungary to France. But decades of inbreeding, convoluted marriages, twisted relationships and intermarriages brought the dynasty…

    Is a Mustang Mach I worthy of a V.I.S.I.T. Posting? I’m not sure, so I put the question to the readers, while I go on to describe what is under the hood of this beast.

    While this olelongrooffan did not get a chance to attend the Raleigh Classic Car Auction the UDMan shared with we Hoons last Friday, I was lucky enough to have spotted this over the weekend.  Yeah, it’s another  “pseudo folksy” post for you Hoons to enjoy.

    This was one of those vehicular discoveries you just never expect to see; and when you do see them, you don’t expect things to work out so well that you get to chat cars with the owner for a half-hour or so. But nevertheless, that’s how it all turned out.

    Sleepers are cool, and Fox-body sleepers are especially cool, because they’re also cheap, easy to build and surprisingly competent.

    It’s not every day you see one of these sitting in the Walmart parking lot! Alas I must admit it to you all, I don’t know what it is. I’ve searched high and low, asked some military type friends and well, I got nothin’. So help a hoon out, what is it?  How much does…

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, this Commer FC van caused a nearly neck-breaking doubletake driving through Seattle. How many of these could possibly live outside the UK? And since the first sighting weeks ago, it has been taunting me, never around when I had my camera handy. That is, until yesterday …

    Let us consider the Fates:  they, which grant you a survivable misfortune of spotting a questionable vehicle in traffic by its incredulous mobility in the other direction, for which you’re thankful.  Until you realize it was only a temporary reprieve, for They will give you visual apoplexy when you stumble upon it in a parking…

    Avert your eyes from my pollen-encrusted hood and behold!  The mother of all personalized plates:  It says what it is.   It is what it says.   By default it becomes anything and everything you need or want it to be.  (And the car it’s attached too ain’t all bad, either.  In fact it’s downright appropriate). I…
