CC Capsule: 1960 Toyota ToyoAce PK20 – Surviving 57 Years On Just One Litre
Posted on April 9, 2017 | 14 CommentsThere are a lot of older trucks in Burma. Hinos and Nissans and Mitsubishis, as well as Chinese brands I’m less familiar with (FAW, DongFeng, etc.). But most of these […] -
Curbside Classic: 1991 Nissan Sunny B122 Pickup – Keep Those Flares, They’ll Come Back In Style
Posted on February 26, 2017 | 20 CommentsFashion and cars have a lot in common. A lot of fashion trends get recycled every 20 years or so. Flared trousers were in back in 1970-75, and they came […] -
Bus Stop Classics: Late ’50s Ayats-Bodied Pegaso coaches – Under The Influence
Posted on January 23, 2017 | 56 CommentsCoaches aren’t really my thing, but when you start browsing Google and see nice period pics of this nature, you investigate. And then you find more, and they’re all crazier […] -

Curbside Classic: 2007 Mitsuoka Galue MkIII — Bentley/Cadillac Tribute Band Goes Off Key
Posted on December 14, 2016 | 57 CommentsThey say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. But where does imitation stop and where does caricature begin? Probably in Japan. If you’ve ever seen a Mitsuoka, you’ll […] -
Curbside Classic: 1979 Land-Rover LWB Station Wagon – Not Stranded In The Jungle
Posted on November 19, 2016 | 13 CommentsThe scene is taking place in Kayah State, close to the Thai border. A loud whine pierces the humid air of the Burmese jungle, scaring off a few white egrets […] -
Automotive History: The Arbel Symétric – The Atomic Prius That Came And Went
Posted on November 9, 2016 | 22 CommentsThe recent article on the Dale three-wheeler re-kindled an interest of mine in bizarre automotive swindles. The Tucker precedent is of course so notorious as to having warranted an entire […] -
CC Capsule: 1991 Citroën CX Evasion – Last Chance Wagoon
Posted on October 28, 2016 | 28 CommentsAs a companion piece to Paul’s CX article, I dug out a few pics I took this summer when I went back to the old country. I spent a little […] -
In-Motion Classic: Toyota Crown Royal Extra Estate – Wrong White Whale
Posted on October 28, 2016 | 45 CommentsWe all have a white whale. An obsession, what makes us go where we would not and ask questions we shouldn’t, what gives life its zest (and its disappointments). My […] -
CC Capsule: Dennis F2 Water Tender – Still Or Sparkling?
Posted on October 7, 2016 | 26 CommentsI have a confession to make: I do not care for trucks. They’re not vehicles I can relate to. Consequently, I don’t know the makes all that well, nor the […]
