I assume we’re all die-hard Silviophiles here. I mean, what’s not to like about a reasonably-sized and beautifully-styled RWD 4-cyl. coupé like the S13? What’s that? You would rather have […]
Just a short post for this second installment of “JDM Rarities Week,” but it’s one that really took me by surprise. I assume some of you might have heard about […]
This week, we are going back to the weird and wonderful world of JDM – the twist here being that the cars we’re going to examine are genuine rarities, even […]
I don’t want to end “French Oddball Coupé (ok, Cabriolet, in this particular instance) Week(s)” on a downer, but hey, it’s a Talbot. So down into the valley of tears, […]
Boy, this is going to be a challenge. Don Andreina, the sorely missed recently returning contributor from Down Under who authored so many quintessential CC posts, really outdid himself when […]
Apologies for stretching this “French Oddball Coupé Week” into more of a fortnight, but sometimes writing these posts takes a little longer than planned. Anyway, here’s two-door oddball numéro trois […]
(first posted 4/5/2018) Welcome to the second part of this look at FWD history in general and FWD cars that went Rong Wheel Drive in particular. After the […]

I’m calling this “Oddball French Coupé Week” – French because, well, *Gallic shrug*. Coupé – not “coop” if you please – because two doors. And oddball because, for once, we […]
To end this week dedicated to German convertibles on a high note, what else could we have but a classic Benz? We’re talking classic in the most literal sense in […]
I know, it’s a pity this couldn’t be a little older. Those stupid big bumpers and oversized rear lights are kind of disgraceful. As is the interior, frankly. But despite […]
For our second entry in this week’s celebration of German open-air motoring, we will examine a true ‘80s icon. Launched in late 1982, the E30 was a seminal baby Bimmer, […]
Last week was dedicated to Gandini-designed Italian beauties, and I kind of liked the feel of doing a theme for a few posts. So let’s call this “Deutsche Cabrio Woche” […]
It is said that geniuses tend to hit their peak in their twenties. Doesn’t matter much in what field – mathematics, music or automotive design. To wit, Marcello Gandini (1938-2024) […]
