Dodge Stratus + horrible wheels + unenlightened attitude towards women = First Class Shite! BTW, the car is NOT even lowered!

You want one of these and you can really scare the shite out of people....

Local cops here in Nashville run Chevrolet Impalas, although the State police use Ford Crown Vics. The local cops are a far more common sight.

 

If you want to scare people round here, you need one of these.....

I got stopped more times driving that Crown Vic by the "real" Police than at any other time in forty years of driving :D Well it's just not the sort of thing you expect to see coming around the corner in England, is it?

That 97 Crown Vic was a nicer car than the 2003 CV I have now, apart from the steering.

The bad news: The Rozzers are coming for you!

 

The good news: They're driving a 1959 Edsel Ranger so they'll probably never catch you!

I'd be grinning like that too, if I were driving the Stude!

Is the Edsel abandoned, or merely parked up as some sort of display? The exterior shots look quite tidy for its' age, and yet the torn headlining in the last pic would suggest it hasn't been that well cared for after all.

^^Me too! My love of a black-and-white is pretty well known, I think; ditto my love of fins and chrome. The combination is just too enticing!

I wonder if that Edsel was a real police car? It looks basic enough inside, even though Edsel never offered an official police package on any of its cars.

Damn slow camera! This orange Lambo was on the move. Okay, it's not shite but it's still cool.

As was this vintage Beetle, also too quick for my camera.

1982-85 Buick Riviera Cabrio in slightly dilapidated condition. Those aren't wire wheels, BTW. They're wire wheelcovers! They're original to the car and were quite popular on Yank Tanks of this era.

Toyota Camry with very inappropriate-looking vinyl roof. I''m surprised the owner didn't go all the way and get wire-wheel hubcaps and whitewalls, too!

Falcon and Valiant are lovely. Was the redneck actually driving that Mazda pick up like that :shock: ?

 

I suspect it's on air, and was 'laying frame.'

 

Or he's a fat wigga bastard and the chassis of the truck is permanently twisted.

Now that's more like Rat Look. VW boyz take note! (and no apologies for reposting the pic... :D )

 

Surely that white Silver Shadow is a 76, not a 79? 79 would surely be a Silver Shadow 2, with the bigger bumpers etc. The number plate points to 76 too.

 

Great to see these though, keep 'em coming!

The mechanic working on it claimed it was a '79 but he was probably wrong. English wasn't his first language so there may have been some miscommunication!

Erm, no. No I don't. Ripping off Land Rover wasn't interesting to me. Just boring, like almost everything of theirs has been and continues to be. They are the Japanese equivalent of Chevrolet except no muscle car heritage or major motorsports heritage, frickin' ho-hum. If Toyota disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn't notice for a couple months, until I would see my sister-in-law, and go, "Hey, where did the stupid box with the white lid go?"

 

 

True, it is a blatant Land Rover rip-off. But it's still more interesting than anything they make today.

Of course, your continent never really "got" rallying, did it?!! :wink: Musclecars wouldn't really have been much good at them anyway - and no, I'm not having a dig at them, as the Merc 450 SL of the 70s wasn't the success that was hoped at the time unless it was on endurance events, so something bigger and heavier wouldn't have performed well either. They do turn left ok thought! :wink::D

That's my point precisely - the European branches of those corporations went rallying on the world stage, but the North American arm of each of those didn't. Major manufacturers only go into motorsport to get something back out, so we must assume that the US arms couldn't see that the investment made in rallying throughout the world with their domestic products would return the net worth that their subsidiaries achieved in doing so with their domestic products.

 

So anyway, enlighten us on the FI that Bosch licensed for use. Is this a different system to the one used in aircraft that destroyed most of Clydebank?
