Why does it say HEMI on the side........is it short for HEMI ROYDNew(er) American, sorry, Canadian/Mexican muscle isn't bad eitherMakes me grin like a kid every time I hit the start button and it rocks on the suspension from the torque reaction of it firing up
Many years ago, in a moment of madness when I was flush, I bought a Toyota thing, twin turbo, 3 litre, with like a T shape roof....cant remember what the name was..........It was really fast.....went past everything except a Petrol Station.....sold it when I was skint again which wasnt long...

This craze of putting over size wheels and stupidly low suspension on a classic car is driving me nuts. There's a lot of clueless folk out there that are turning their lovely classic into a unusable car that handles dangerously and can't steer. I do despair. Suspension and steering geometry are important, more so than following stupid folk. Grrr rant over.

Sylvia Hauser, ex-wife of the late Geoff Hauser (who built some awesome cars back in the day), and she set up her own race team in the early 80's, which I believe still going today with her sons."Who is Sylvia, what is she"

As women are so good at multitasking, why can't they sit down and shut up?

The GTR was one of the most advanced yet "affordable" cars of its type at the time

I watched the documentary on Janet Baker. She was a real diva not a watered down version that seems to be bandied about for every Thomasina Doris and Harriet. Her brother was also a very talented singer but he died young.

A mate of mine used to date Miss Mopar, still as mad as a box of frogs.
I like the British take on yanks, throw the car away and shove the engine into something ridiculously small.
